About Motion 💡
Motion is building the command center for creative strategists: an AI-native platform that bridges the gap between performance marketers and creative teams, so they can uncover what’s working, what’s not, and ship more winning ads across platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Meta, and TikTok.
We're at the forefront of AI as the foundation of our product. Motion now automatically analyzes and organizes creative at scale and surfaces competitor trends. And with Runneth - the AI brain for the 100x marketer - we're going further: a persistent creative strategy agent that lives where your team already works (Slack, Notion, Google Drive, your ad data) and turns a marketer's knowledge and instincts into cross-channel playbooks, automated workflows, and a system that gets smarter over time. Our bet isn't that AI replaces great marketers. It's that the best marketers will use AI to operate at a scale that wasn't previously possible.
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 $14B in media spend. When leading brands want to understand their creative performance, they turn to us.
Our founders have built successful companies before, including alongside several of the people now at Motion. A number of teammates chose to build again here — a reflection of the trust, culture, and conviction behind what we’re building.
The people building Motion are deeply embedded in where AI and our industry is heading, and obsessed with closing the gap between what's possible and what's actually shipping in product. We're a 75 person remote team backed by $65M+ in funding with a valuation that's nearly 3x'd in under two years. If you want to work on a hard problem, with people who've done it before, and a product that customers genuinely love - we'd love to connect!

About the Executive IC, Design role 🔍
You can probably remember the last thing you designed yourself, before the calendar filled up with reviews and critiques. Leading a team used to be how a great designer multiplied their taste across an org, and for a long time it was the only way. It isn't anymore. The tooling has caught up to the point where one person's hands can cover product, brand, web, and social at a level that used to take a department.
We're looking for designers who have already succeeded in an Executive-level role and want to return to creating the work, not approving it.
Jean-Michel Lemieux, the former CTO of Shopify, just joined a Series B startup as an Executive IC. His title inspired ours, and transitions like his are our reference point. If that's the kind of move you've been waiting to make, this is your seat.
What you'd be doing 🛠️
- Impacting how Motion looks and feels across product, web, brand, and social.
- Using AI tooling to produce what once required a team, then refining and elevating it through your own craft and judgment.
- Setting the craft bar by example, so the quality of the entire team's work rises with it.
Our ideal fit brings ✨
- A track record of success in a Founder, C-suite, VP, or Director-level design role, including leading teams and building systems used across an organization, while maintaining the craft to create exceptional work yourself.
- A workflow already rebuilt around AI-powered design and iteration, where tools like Figma AI and Midjourney are a natural part of how you work.
- Genuine cross-disciplinary strength across product, brand, and marketing design.
- The mindset of someone who could start their own company but would rather join one that's already moving fast.
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.
- 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.
- Growth that speaks for itself: Motion has strong product-market fit, 2.5x YoY growth, second-time founders with deep industry knowledge, and $30M in Series B funding to fuel our momentum.
- Opportunity for impact: As an early team member, your contributions will directly shape the product, team, and the future of the company. If you're excited about building, you’ll thrive here!
- Award-winning team: We're a low-ego, high-performing team that was just ranked #19 on G2's list of Best Canadian Software Companies for 2026.
- Team connection:
- 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 in-person for a week every two months, 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, with fresh funding ($65M+ total capital raised), we’re building forward from that foundation, taking what we learned to market in a deeply AI-native way.
🌎 A note on location: we're looking to hire someone based in Canada or the United States, but are open to exceptional candidates in other locations. If this position excites you and you believe you'd be a strong fit, we encourage you to apply!
