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 don’t just want to work on “strategy” and “managing stakeholders”. If you don’t do the work, it’s not going to get done. Lots of people at Motion are extremely intelligent, experienced, and more strategic than you, and until you gain enough experience you should not assume your ideas will win. We will help you gain that experience
- You are a fast learner and can quickly familiarize yourself with a complex business and product. You don’t get lost in the weeds in details that don’t matter. You don’t need every edge case spelled out for you because you can figure out the goals of the project and fill in the blanks
- You are technical and can write simple code and quickly set up no-code solutions such as Zapier and Webflow. It’s extremely important that you're not always waiting on engineering or data teams to do simple tasks for you. Being technical makes you self-sufficient, and we’ve intentionally built our business team to be technical. You will be given a simple coding exercise during the interview process to verify this point
- You have strong attention to detail and operational excellence so you can run many experiments without being sloppy. You have a strong business sense for what priorities to test and which areas to double down on
What the job involves
- Gary Yin, Motion’s Head of Growth, is hiring an ambitious growth associate who will work closely with him to manage our most critical paid growth initiatives during our next chapter of hyper-growth
- Motion has a world-class marketing operation, and in this role we’ll teach you everything we know about marketing
- The goal for someone really successful in this position is to own the operations of an entire marketing channel for us within 6 months and become the best in the world at scaling that channel within 1 year
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.

Company values
- Take ownership and be accountable - We can rely on each member of the team to get their work done. When we say we'll do something - we get it done without anyone checking in on us
- Straightforward communication - We communicate in a direct manner. If there is something you disagree with or are unhappy about, let the team know. We don’t tolerate passive-aggressiveness or company politics
- Disagree and commit - We can disagree and commit. Not all of our ideas will be implemented, and sometimes the group will decide to do something one of us disagrees with. Even if we disagree with the decision, we commit to getting it done
- Raw hours make a difference - Working too many hours doesn't guarantee success; but not working hard enough will guarantee failure. We expect everyone to put in their sincere best effort, but we generally don't expect you to work late evenings or on weekends
- Take risks - We are not afraid of taking risks. We should not over-index on failures. A lot of features we build and strategies we try will fail - that is expected
- Operational excellence and attention to detail - We are a small team with a user base and revenue that are exploding. Every mistake we make has a direct revenue impact
- Making tradeoffs - We often have to sacrifice quality for speed to validate new ideas. It is important to know the balance between the two and to find good tradeoffs
- Be versatile and open to new ideas - We are an early-stage startup. Our product, roadmap, strategy, and goals constantly change. We should not be scared of a rapidly changing work environment
- Look for opportunities to grow - We are looking for team members who aren't just checking off tasks, but are thinking about how to push the business forward and increase their impact. We want you to look for new opportunities that we aren't taking advantage of, and go for it!
