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.

  • Motion offers a competitive salary and equity compensation, health insurance, and paid time off.

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!
