About Motion đĄ
In the marketing world, thereâs a constant battle for attention, and the teams that come out ahead are the ones that can pinpoint whatâs driving their creative performance and act on it faster than anyone else.
Motion is built to help teams do exactly that. Our platform helps marketing teams understand which of their online ads are performing best and why, so they can ship more winners across Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube.
We found product-market fit as an analytics platform, then dove headfirst into the AI space over the past couple of years, and that bet is paying off: our valuation has nearly tripled in two years, and we now help some of the worldâs top e-commerce and DTC brands and agencies, including Vuori, True Classic, The Farmerâs Dog, and HexClad, turn insights into results.
Weâre an ambitious team with big goals, and weâre looking for talented people to help us shape the future of AI-powered marketing!
About the Business Development Representative role đ
This isn't your average BDR role where you'll spend your mornings dialing cold leads from a list. Motion already has a deep bank of warm leads: people whoâve already signed up, engaged with us, or shown clear interest in what we do.
Weâre looking for a GTM jack-of-all-trades who can step in wherever the business needs them most to keep the funnel healthy and existing customers happy. Week-to-week, that could mean anything from running our inbound engine to re-engaging customers to drive adoption, building retention and win-back campaigns, leading outreach around a major event, and more.
Other things that make this opportunity unique âš
- You'd help build the function. We've been almost entirely inbound since the start and are only now standing up an early-funnel team. As one of the first people in this role, you'd help set the foundation that future hires will build on.
- Our product-market fit is unmatched. When we book a meeting with the right person, we're not cold-pitching; we're showing up with the best answer to a problem teams are already eager to solve.
- You'd learn from the best. You'd work directly with Evan Lee (Head of GTM) and Rainier Sidoo, who joined as an SDR and grew into one of our top mid-market AEs in less than two years.
- The opportunity for growth is massive. Do great work here, and youâll be rewarded. Alex, Miguel, and Rainier are all proof of how strong performers have progressed on our sales team.
What you'd be doing đ ïž
- Flexing across GTM. You'll lean in across the full go-to-market motion depending on where the business needs you most.
- Driving net-new pipeline. You'll go after high-fit mid-market accounts, both fresh ones and ones surfaced by signals in our CRM (e.g., trigger events, lookalikes to closed customers, lost deals worth another look, event attendees, and more).
- Working the lists with the team. We'll define the plays to run together. Youâll then execute and share whatâs converting to help sharpen our targeting over time.
- Writing outreach worth replying to. Emails, LinkedIn, follow-ups, cold-call openers: you'll craft messaging that adapts to the prospect and the signal.
- Getting creative with AI. You wonât just send emails. Youâll use Motionâs internal AI product, Runneth, to create personalized assets for high-intent campaigns.
- Turning replies into booked meetings. When someone responds, youâll work closely with your manager to understand what theyâre looking for, confirm theyâre a strong fit, and move the conversation forward.
- Treating prospects like future partners. Our best demos come from genuine, collaborative conversations, not transactional sales tactics.
Our ideal fit brings âš
- 1-3 years of outbound or high-velocity sales experience. Whether youâve worked as an SDR, BDR, GTM specialist, sales engineer, customer onboarding specialist, or in a similar role, youâve used phone, email, and LinkedIn to build pipeline and know what a successful outbound system looks like.
- An AI-native way of working. Tools like Clay, Claude, ChatGPT, and automation are already part of your daily workflow, and youâve earned opinions about whatâs worth the hype.
- Real sales craft: You write outreach that gets replies. You can diagnose, articulate, and fix what isn't working. And you can do both of those things at scale without sacrificing quality.
- Commercial sharpness. You can hold a credible, confident conversation and act as a trusted voice with growth and creative leaders at top DTC brands and agencies.
- High agency and ambition. Youâre unafraid of the grind, set your own pace, own your numbers, and donât wait to be told what to do once you understand the goal.
- Adaptability. Youâre comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment and can pivot quickly when priorities shift.
- Low ego and high care. Youâre eager to learn, care deeply about the quality of your work, and donât let ego get in the way of improving.
What you'll love about Motion đ
- Competitive compensation package: We offer competitive compensation, equity for all, health benefits from day one, a monthly health & wellness stipend, 20 days of PTO, a $1,500 work-from-home stipend, and your home internet bill on us.
- Remote-first with hybrid flexibility: Our team spans Canada, the U.S., and beyond, with optional office spaces in Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, and Porto.
- A deeply AI-native culture: AI is central to both our product and how we work. Our team is encouraged to experiment with any AI tools they'd like, without worrying about token limits.
- A top-tier team: Our hiring philosophy is simple: high performers, low egos.
- Growth that speaks for itself: Weâre a Series B company with strong product-market fit, and our valuation has nearly tripled in the past two years.
- Opportunity for impact: Weâre still very much in startup mode, so your work will directly shape the product, the team, and the future of the business.
- Team connection: Weâre remote-first, but stay close through an AI virtual office and come together in person at least once a year for a company-wide retreat, usually in Muskoka!
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), weâre building forward from that foundation, taking what we learned to market in a deeply AI-native way.
đ A note on location: we're looking to hire someone based in Canada or the United States, ideally in the Eastern Time Zone, 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!
