Company mission
Motion's mission is to solve the problem of focus and deep work through its AI-driven time management platform.
Role
Who you are
- You're ambitious and you're looking to prove yourself
- For most people, this role will give you the most responsibilities you've ever had, while holding you to higher standards than other companies you've worked at
- Expect to work your hardest and do the best work of your career at Motion
- You will receive lots of coaching and feedback that you should seek to grow from
- You can take ownership of projects and lead them to completion while dealing with ambiguity and finding the right balance between speed and quality
- You don't need every detail and edge case spelled out for you because you can figure out the goals of the project and fill in the blanks
- You're able to deeply understand our customer
- You have taste for what makes compelling messaging versus weak positioning and can guide Motion to make the right go-to-market decisions when there is insufficient data and you're required to make bets
- You'll develop deep insights into our target personas and create content that drives top-of-funnel awareness and demand generation
- You have strong attention to detail and operational excellence so you can run many projects without being sloppy
- You have a strong business sense for what priorities to test and which areas to double down on
- Even though you move quickly the work you deliver has a high bar of excellence because it is visible to the world
- You are an expert copywriter
- An engineer has their IDE
- You have a Google doc
- As a marketer you know you cannot avoid writing and the quality of that writing is the true measure of how well you communicate
- You'll roll up your sleeves, become an expert in Motion, and stay up to date on every update because the product excites you
- You'll put pen to paper quickly because you want to share that excitement with the world
What the job involves
- I'm hiring our first fully dedicated Product Marketing Manager
- Thus far, we've built a paid ads team of just A-players
- You'll be the first hire focused entirely on product marketing, owning Motion's entire PMM direction
- You'll have full creative reign over the narratives and positioning that represent Motion while working with a marketing/GTM team that embraces experimentation and new ideas
- That means you'll own and execute on go-to-market strategy for new features and products (specifically, AI employees), life cycle marketing, SEO / GEO initiatives, sales enablement, and content marketing more broadly
- I will teach you everything I know about the product, customer, and how we have won thus far
- It'll be up to you to develop and ship the content that ultimately leads to product-led and sales-led conversions
- The goal for someone really successful in this position is to use product marketing to build the most successful software brand that has ever existed (think Duolingo but b2b instead of consumer)
- We've worked hard to ensure Motion's team has one of the highest talent-density teams in the world
- We have accomplished in weeks or months what it would take larger teams years to do and we'd love to have you if that sounds exciting
Our take
Today's fast-paced digital world can make time management feel overwhelming, leading many smartphones to be filled with applications for to-do lists, calendars, and project management tools. The fragmented nature of these apps makes them time-consuming and frustrating to navigate, ultimately making them unsuitable for usage within professional workforces.
Motion provides an all-in-one AI-driven time management platform for businesses, facilitating the automation of daily task planning, task prioritization, and long-term scheduling. The AI technology also automates frustrating maintenance tasks normally associated with productivity apps such as the rescheduling of unfinished work, adding exceptions for weekends or time off, and recognizing when a user is falling behind on their schedule.
Whilst businesses have a plethora of productivity platforms at their disposal, Motion has been smart to apply AI to its software to reduce the amount of time users must spend manually using it. Through this approach, the company aims to bring the benefits of time-management platforms without their pitfalls, ultimately helping to keep workers on track and minimize missed deadlines, without requiring constant manual planning time.
