Creative Strategist (remote)

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 ship more winning ads across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
We believe the creative strategist is quickly becoming — if not already — the highest-leverage role on any growth team . The brands winning in paid social right now aren't winning because of their media buying. That's the creative strategist. Today, Motion is trusted by some of the world's top DTC brands and agencies — including Vuori, True Classic, The Farmer's Dog, and HexClad — and has analyzed over $12 billion in media spend. We're building the future of creative intelligence and we're looking for people who want to help define what that looks like .
You'll be a creative strategist working for the product built for creative strategists, on the inside, making ads for the people this product was built for, and working closer than anyone with the team actually building it.
You'll work at the intersection of creative strategy, performance data, and AI, and help define what best-in-class looks like at scale.
Do customer research that actually drives what we make : Reviews, Reddit, competitor ads, comment sections, customer interviews. Run creative tests with a real hypothesis behind them : Every concept you bring to the pipeline has a testable idea at the centre of it. Not just "let's try a talking head", but a specific belief about a specific customer at a specific moment.
Your briefs tell the designer or videographer exactly what to make and why, and tell the test exactly what question it's answering. Own the content and events funnels end-to-end : We have SOPs for every content download and event promotion we run. You'll own execution from first brief to post-launch analysis and be accountable for helping us meet our goals.
Work with our Creative Strategy Lead on growth initiatives : Our Creative Strategy team is expanding into full-funnel marketing, including landing pages, organic social, product launches, and events. Help us build and improve our internal Creative Engine : We're building AI-powered systems for brief writing, research, repurposing, and QA, and we want you involved in making them better, not just using them. Bring ideas, build things, and help us turn good processes into repeatable ones.
Once you're up to speed, you'll QA product features, contribute to events and educational resources, and help the GTM team understand how creative strategists actually think. You're obsessed with direct response creative, especially hooks : You understand psychological triggers, hook tactics, identity targeting, awareness stages, and what makes an opening line stop the scroll. You care about real customer research : You know how to find what drives someone toward or away from a product and turn that into a creative angle that resonates. The brief starts with the customer.
Paid ads, landing pages, organic social, events — you find all of it interesting and you want to understand how each piece connects to business outcomes.
You want to be a top 1% creative strategist : You have strong opinions about the best methodologies, you love telling stories with data, and you're genuinely ambitious about the craft. You share our POV on Creative Strategy : You believe that creative decisions that move the needle are rooted in real customer research and executed around a specific, testable hypothesis. You don't just "have opinions about creative strategy." You love helping people and you don't gatekeep : Bonus points if you can tell us what you'd fix first.
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.and beyond, but also have office spaces in 4 main hubs (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Porto) for optional hybrid work.
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.
If you're excited about building, you’ll thrive here!
We're a low-ego, high-performing team that was just ranked #19 on G2's list of Best Canadian Software Companies for 2026.
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.
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, we’re building forward from that foundation, taking what we learned to market in a deeply AI-native way.
