Project management systems today are great at letting companies record their tasks, but place all of the burden on human project coordinators. These tools don’t know about the team’s time and resources and don’t have any intelligence — someone has to manually match tasks against their assumptions about the team’s capacity. Not only does this process waste precious company resources, it’s also error-prone and leads to overwork, missed deadlines, miscommunication, and micromanagement.
Motion is building the world’s most intelligent project management system — one that doesn’t require a project coordinator manually tracking each task, but rather an intelligent system that can make sense of hundreds of tasks across dozens of projects and automatically coordinate them across every person on the team. Motion allows companies to focus on the work they need to do rather than wasting up to 50% of their resources on overhead.
Our users give us data on their workload (e.g. projects and tasks) and resources (employee roles, calendars, and schedules). Based on all this information, Motion makes intelligent decisions about how tasks should be executed — better than any human project coordinator. Teams that use Motion know what people are working on at any given time, when each task will be completed, and whether any tasks will fall behind schedule. The moment something changes, instead of the coordinator having to figure out all the cascading effects, Motion instantly creates a new optimized plan for the team.
Motion is the project management system of the future. We are growing extremely quickly, trusted by thousands of customers, have millions in revenue, near-infinite runway, and an exceptionally talented team.

You will be successful at Motion if:
You’re ambitious and you’re looking to prove yourself. For most people, this role will give you the most responsibilities you’ve ever had, while holding you to higher standards than other companies you’ve worked at. Expect to work your hardest and do the best work of your career at Motion. You will receive lots of coaching and feedback that you should seek to grow from
You don’t just want to work on “strategy” and “managing stakeholders”. If you don’t do the work, it’s not going to get done. Lots of people at Motion are extremely intelligent, experienced, and more strategic than you, and until you gain enough experience you should not assume your ideas will win. We will help you gain that experience
You are a fast learner and can quickly familiarize yourself with a complex business and product. You don’t get lost in the weeds in details that don’t matter. You don’t need every edge case spelled out for you because you can figure out the goals of the project and fill in the blanks
You are technical and can write simple code and quickly set up no-code solutions such as Zapier and Webflow. It’s extremely important that you're not always waiting on engineering or data teams to do simple tasks for you. Being technical makes you self-sufficient, and we’ve intentionally built our business team to be technical. You will be given a simple coding exercise during the interview process to verify this point
You have strong attention to detail and operational excellence so you can run many experiments without being sloppy. You have a strong business sense for what priorities to test and which areas to double down on
