Wanted: low egos & high performers

“I believe culture is the single biggest differentiator between a successful startup and a non-successful startup. At Motion, it is very low ego, everyone feels comfortable to share, debate, and contribute their ideas.”

Elliott first met our founding team while working in a general entry-level marketing role. But his product visionary skills soon emerged. Slowly, Elliott rose to become our Head of Product. And now leads our product organization.

“I wasn’t interested in a full-time role but after a few weeks of working with the team and experiencing the culture and level of talent at Motion, I changed my mind—I wanted in.”

Lindsay had quit her in-house design job and wanted to build her freelance career. She began working with Motion as a contractor. Since joining full-time, Lindsay has blown us away with her creative talent, work ethic, and world-class design skills.

“Motion is so collaborative and open—it really feels like every new teammate could bring the next big idea. It’s exciting to be part of what we’re building here.”

Faye looked at our open roles and didn’t see a role that fit her unique skills. And so, she invented a role. She pitched our CEO on the idea of building a revenue operations function. Since joining, Faye has become core to every part of Motion’s business strategy.

“Kyra (my manager) and I both cried as we realized we wouldn’t be on the same team anymore. But she also wanted me to keep growing and this new role is a way I can make a bigger contribution to Motion’s next chapter.”

Carissa initially joined our customer success team. She was a top performer and became known for her deep customer knowledge. When a new role opened on our marketing team, her manager encouraged her to apply.

“I originally applied to an Account Executive role and didn't get it due to lack of experience, but they took a bet on me and created a generalist role for me. In my first year, my goal was to prove myself, and I knew if I delivered they'd gradually allow me to take on more responsibilities. Three years later and the train hasn't stopped!”

With his never-ending hunger for sales mastery, Miguel has advanced through the ranks from an entry-level hire to a leadership role.
