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 Motion. Motion now automatically analyzes and organizes creative at scale, surfaces competitor trends, and is rolling out a persistent creative strategy agent that retains context, runs workflows, and integrates with the tools teams already use.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, 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.
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 70+ person team, backed by a $30M Series B, with consecutive record revenue quarters and real momentum. 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 Creative Strategist (YouTube) role 🔍
Creating educational content is a core part of our business. Creative strategists, performance marketers, and creative teams look to us to help sharpen their craft, and YouTube is one of the best places we can meet them.
Today, our YouTube content is solid, but what we're missing is a strategic mind to own it end-to-end. That's where you come in.

Link to our YouTube channelWhat you'd be doing 🛠️
- Owning our YouTube strategy end-to-end: You'd be in charge of what we publish and how it performs.
- Creating content: Whether you're in front of the camera or not, you'd be the engine powering the content.
- Owning distribution beyond YouTube: Creating the content is just the start. You'd also decide how it shows up across other platforms and gets repurposed into other formats to maximize impact.
- Tying everything back to pipeline: YouTube is a revenue channel for us, and you'd be accountable for its contribution to the business. You'd work closely with our growth and marketing teams to ensure the content is feeding the funnel, not just generating views.
- Building a content engine, not just running it: You'd turn what you do into repeatable systems. Templates, formulas, AI workflows, anything that helps us scale the output without compromising the quality.
Our ideal fit brings ✨
- A clear POV on Creative Strategy: A belief that creative decisions that move the needle are rooted in research and executed around a specific, testable hypothesis.
- An obsession with creative and a deep understanding of the YouTube algorithm: A clear sense of how the right combination of things like title, thumbnail, hook, and CTA drives performance.
- A care for customer research: The ability to find what drives someone toward or away from content and product, and turn that into a creative angle that resonates.
- Proof you've made winning YouTube content: You can point to a specific video, explain the hypothesis behind it, and walk through the results. You know why it worked.
- Comfort on camera: The willingness and ability to be the talent yourself when the moment calls for it.
- A focus on business outcomes: Views are nice, but you want to know what's actually moving the funnel.
- An ability to thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments: Our team learns fast and moves faster. You can cut through the noise and don't need everything figured out before getting started.
- Genuine curiosity toward AI: You already work with tools like Claude or ChatGPT, and you can walk us through how.
- Bonus, experience using Motion: You've used it before and have opinions about how it could be better. Extra points if you can tell us what you'd fix first!

- 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, 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: we're looking to hire someone based in Canada 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!
