What you'll love about Motion 💜
Motion is building the command center for creative strategists: an AI-native platform that bridges the gap between performance marketers and creative teams, so they can uncover what’s working, what’s not, and ship more winning ads across platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Meta, and TikTok.
We’re at the forefront of AI as the foundation of Motion. Motion now automatically analyzes and organizes creative at scale, surfaces competitor trends, and is rolling out a persistent creative strategy agent that retains context, runs workflows, and integrates with the tools teams already use.
Today, Motion is trusted by some of the world’s top e-commerce and direct-to-consumer brands and agencies (including Vuori, True Classic, The Farmer’s Dog, and HexClad) and has analyzed over $14B in media spend. When leading brands want to understand their creative performance, they turn to us.
Our founders have built successful companies before, but what we’re most proud of is who chose to build again with them. 10% of our team worked with our founders at their previous company and followed them to Motion. That kind of loyalty doesn’t happen by accident — it’s built on trust, strong culture, and a shared belief in what we’re creating.
The people building Motion are deeply embedded in where AI and our industry is heading, and obsessed with closing the gap between what's possible and what's actually shipping in product.
We're a 70+ person team, backed by a $30M Series B, with consecutive record revenue quarters and real momentum. If you want to work on a hard problem, with people who've done it before, and a product that customers genuinely love - we'd love to connect!

About the team & our attitude 🤝
Our Mid-Market Account Executives are dawgs. They collaborate well, are bought into Motion’s mission, and are flexible to what the day-to-day might look like depending on the goal. They lead by example (eg. helping coach SMB Account Executives) and strive to reach their potential as quickly as possible.
About the Account Executive role 🔍
- You will be directly responsible for driving net new and expansion revenue for our mid-market segment
- You may be heavily involved in the account management process where you will ensure client happiness and own a churn number
- Trigger & list based outbound is being built, so you will be a leader in implementing this yourself and across the team
- Approach clients like future partners to be collaborated with, not leads to be closed. Yes, we want to sell more, however we’ve found that a collaborative sales process ensures long term success and we’ll support you going over and above to ensure your client needs are met
- Advise prospects on how to implement an effective Performance Creative process using Motion
Our customers are already feeling the pain, and this problem is a top priority for them. Using a consultative selling approach, you will help teams see how the Motion platform is the answer to the workflow challenges they are experiencing.

- Team connection: To stay connected in a virtual workspace, we get together at least once yearly for a company-wide offsite (this year, we spent a week by the lake in Muskoka, Canada!)

In 2026, we’re building forward from that foundation, taking what we learned to market in a deeply AI-native way. The direction is clearer, the stakes are higher, and there’s a lot left to build.
