What you'll love about Motion 💜
Motion is creating the command center for creative strategists: an AI-driven analytics and intelligence platform that bridges the gap between performance marketers and creative teams, helping them uncover what's working, what's not, and ultimately ship more winning ads across platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Meta, and TikTok.
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 $14 billion 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.
We're growing fast (2.5x year-over-year and now 70+ team members), our product is sticky, and with a recent $30M Series B raise, we're just getting started. We're building the future of creative intelligence and are looking for talented people to help us get there! 🚀
The role
This is a ground-floor enterprise sales hire. The mid-market business is strong – product-market fit is real, the team is closing, and inbound is healthy. Now we're going after a different tier: Fortune 500 brands. That requires a different kind of motion.
Your job is to open, navigate, and close deals with large, complex organizations – brands like Nike, Sephora, and tier-1 retailers – where procurement involves multiple stakeholders, long cycles, and real relationship work.
You won't have an SDR handing you leads. Your pipeline is 100% self-sourced. You'll build your own target account list, identify the right contacts across org charts, and run a disciplined outbound motion from first touch to close. When you need a demo deep-dive, you'll pull in support – but you own the relationship end-to-end.
There's no enterprise playbook at Motion yet. You'll help write it.
- Build and own a target account list focused on Fortune 500 and large DTC brands with significant paid media spend
- Run a disciplined outbound motion: LinkedIn, email, phone, events – whatever it takes to get in the room
- Navigate complex org structures to identify and build champions across creative strategy, performance marketing, and the C-suite
- Lead discovery, manage multi-threaded deal cycles, and negotiate contracts and security requirements through legal and procurement
- Partner closely with the founding team on enterprise GTM strategy – you'll have real input on how we approach this market
- Feed learnings back into the business: what objections come up, what's working, what we need to build
- Proven track record of landing enterprise logos – you've hunted large accounts and closed them, not just managed renewals
- Experience navigating multi-stakeholder, multi-threaded deals at companies with 1,000+ employees
- Genuinely outbound-native: you're comfortable building pipeline from scratch, not dependent on inbound volume
- You bring relationships – ideally you already know people at the types of brands or agencies we're targeting
- High EQ, executive presence, and the ability to build credibility quickly with senior buyers
- A bias toward action: you figure things out, you don't wait to be told
- Familiarity with the paid media, creative, ad tech, or AI solutions space is a plus – but strong enterprise hunters without it can ramp fast
What this is not
- A role where you manage inbound demos all day
- A role with a warm lead queue on day one
- A role for someone who needs a fully built playbook before they can start
$350,000 upcapped (base + commission). We structure this with a competitive base and aggressive upside tied to a revenue target that reflects the size of the opportunity. Exact structure TBD based on experience.
What you'll love about Motion 💜
- Competitive compensation package: We offer competitive compensation, including equity for all employees, health benefits from day one, a monthly health & lifestyle stipend to support your well-being, 20 days of PTO, and a $1,500 work-from-home stipend.
- Growth that speaks for itself: Motion has strong product-market fit, 3x YoY growth, second-time founders with deep industry knowledge, and $30M in Series B funding to fuel our momentum.
- Training & development: We have comprehensive onboarding to prepare you to be an expert in our industry and will build an individualized learning plan once you’re fully ramped.
- Expertise & autonomy: You’ll learn to become a marketing expert and have the autonomy to make decisions and influence our output.
- A culture of collaboration & transparency: We value chatting through opinions over top-down decisions, maintain transparency across the organization into decision-making processes, and ensure your voice will be heard if you have any feedback.
- Remote-first with hybrid flexibility: We're a remote-first company with team members spanning Canada, the U.S., and beyond, but also have office spaces in 4 main hubs (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Porto) for optional hybrid work.
- 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!)
- Virtual: Day-to-day, we use Roam, an AI-powered virtual office platform that fosters spontaneous collaboration, drop into meetings or quick chats, and interact with colleagues for a simulated, "live" digital headquarters.
- In-person: Outside of the option to go to one of our offices, our team gets together for a team offsite once/year, and we have a company retreat every summer.
We closed out 2024 with a $30M Series B raise and strong signals from our customers. In 2025, we built the foundational capabilities our customers rely on, setting the stage for what's to come. 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.
🌎 A note on location: Motion is a fully remote company but we’re looking for someone based in Canada or the United States who can work with significant overlap to ET working hours.

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene
Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
