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 know your way around Figma and can crank out everything from quick wireframes to polished prototypes
- You’re comfortable working fast, keeping files organized, and using components and design systems to keep things clean and consistent
- You are ambitious and always looking for ways to improve
- For most employees, 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
- Don’t rest on your past achievements — 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 are comfortable with the fact that working in a startup means working without abundant resources
- You can adopt the mindset that if you don’t do the work, it’s not going to get done
- You are a fast learner and can quickly familiarize yourself with a complex product
- You aren’t afraid to tackle any challenge or learn a new unfamiliar technology
- You have a strong understanding of how you can create the most impact, and don’t get lost in the weeds in details that don’t matter
- You’re excited to work on whatever solves the biggest customer problems, not just the flashiest designs
- You can collaborate effectively with other talented employees and work well in an environment where the best ideas win
- You should expect your ideas to get challenged and to learn a lot from your coworkers and leaders
What the job involves
- You’ll own the whole design process—from learning about users and sketching ideas to crafting polished prototypes that are ready to ship
- A lot of tools out there are clunky and frustrating, and we’re on a mission to change that by building simple, elegant interfaces that make teams more productive without all the headaches
- In this role, speed of execution and attention to detail are critical
- We iterate a lot—usually 7+ times before we even loop in engineering and 10+ times before we launch anything
- We course-correct quickly based on real customer feedback and how people actually use the product
- It’s not about designing in a vacuum; it’s about making sure what we build really works for our users
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.
