Account Executive, Mid-Market

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 team & our attitude

Our Mid-Market Account Executives are dawgs. They collaborate well, are bought into Motion’s mission, and are flexible to what the day-to-day might look like depending on the goal. They lead by example (eg. helping coach SMB Account Executives) and strive to reach their potential as quickly as possible. 

About the Account Executive role

• You will be directly responsible for driving net new and expansion revenue for our mid-market segment
• You may be heavily involved in the account management process where you will ensure client happiness and own a churn number
• Trigger & list based outbound is being built, so you will be a leader in implementing this yourself and across the team
• Approach clients like future partners to be collaborated with, not leads to be closed. Yes, we want to sell more, however we’ve found that a collaborative sales process ensures long term success and we’ll support you going over and above to ensure your client needs are met
• Advise prospects on how to implement an effective Performance Creative process using Motion

Our customers are already feeling the pain, and this problem is a top priority for them. Using a consultative selling approach, you will help teams see how the Motion platform is the answer to the workflow challenges they are experiencing.

Be prepared to explore a new approach to sales!

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.

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.
