Customer Success Manager

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 Customer Success Manager role & team

You will be directly responsible for educating our clients (agencies and DTC brands) on creative strategy and how to operationalize their workflow to fill the current gap between performance and creative teams using Motion. They’re already feeling the pain, and this problem is a top priority for them. By gaining a deep understanding of media buying and creative production you will help teams see how the Motion platform is the answer to the workflow challenges they are experiencing. Your work will have a direct impact on our growth.

We have a mighty team of 5 right now. You will report our CS Team Lead, Ale, whose superpowers are leading by example by being wildly curious, caring deeply, and constantly trying to improve processes.

What you’ll be achieving

Developing an onboarding curriculum for your clients and bringing it to life in engaging sessions. You’ll help clients build a report structure that meets their needs using Motion and then host sessions with their teams to make sure everyone knows how to use the reports. Our current session mix consists of large-group Motion custom walkthroughs/educational talks, small-group working sessions, naming convention and creative strategy brainstorms.

• After onboarding, you’ll continue to build relationships with clients to ensure they are up to date on new features, breakthroughs in creative strategy processes, and ensure they find continued value in the app.
• Understand our clients’ team dynamics knowing when to loop in relevant stakeholders for training and conversations.
• Understand clients’ current creative strategy processes, identifying gaps or inefficiencies and partnering with them strategically to strengthen their approach through education, best practices, and deeper Motion usage.
• Contribute to internal and external content as a thought leader.

How our team uses AI

As a company, we are becoming AI-native. We don’t have limits on what we can try, and every team is sharing their wins!

We’re figuring out new things every day, and here a few that stand out:

• Use Motion’s AI (Runneth) proactively as a sales and re-engagement tool – not just reactively in-product. This looks like running live creative audits during customer calls, sharing “what's working / what's not” snapshots in follow‑up notes, or using competitor reverse‑engineering outputs during onboarding touchpoints.
• Synthesize customer intelligence at scale using AI – for example, feeding 70+ customer calls into NotebookLM to aggregate VOC insights, or analyzing a month of Gong calls to quantify demand for a specific feature and share structured findings with the broader team.
• Turn AI into a personalized customer deliverable in real time – like attaching the Creative Benchmarks report to Motion’s AI chat and prompting it with questions specific to a customer’s testing volume and format strategy, making benchmarking feel tailored rather than generic.

Key Expectations as a CSM at Motion

• 1. We always champion our clients. When speaking about them internally we speak of them respectfully and always want to understand their perspective. We are their advocates.
• 2. Responsiveness sets us apart. We get back to people fast. Ideally emails are responded to within 2 hours and follow‑ups are sent by EOD at the latest. We move quickly with deliverables and report builds. Momentum is everything.
• 3. We are casual and friendly with our clients. They should feel like they are talking to a trusted colleague. No professional masking here!
• 4. Have an ownership mindset. We should have a clear understanding of our book of business and where our clients are at. CSMs bring strategic thinking to drive engagement, and ensure Motion is delivering real value and impact on their business and day‑to‑day workflows.
• 5. We anchor every action to a goal or pain. We focus on what actually matters to the client on every interaction. There’s no one‑size‑fits‑all, everything should be tailored to their business, industry, and current needs. This is achieved by doing good discovery to understand their team dynamics and current goals.
• 6. Authority posture. We are their creative strategy partners. We stay close to what’s happening across the industry and bring that perspective into our client conversations. We talk with hundreds of top DTC brands, so we see a lot of what’s working, what’s not, and what’s trending. We reflect on those learnings, share insights internally as a team, and make sure we’re consistently educating clients with a valuable, informed POV.

Our ideal fit brings

• 2–3 years of experience in high volume account management (50+ accounts), client management, or customer success at a B2B SaaS company
  • Extra points for startup experience!
• A resourceful, self‑starting attitude, paired with endless curiosity and a genuine excitement to learn and teach.
• Strong public speaking, presentation, and relationship‑building abilities.
• You incorporate AI into your daily workflow – not as a nice‑to‑have, but as a core working habit. We’re looking for someone who actively finds smarter ways to do their job and stays curious about what’s possible as the tools evolve.
• Exceptional organization and ambition.
• Bonus points for:
  • Media buying/performance marketing experience, particularly in paid social (e.g., Meta, TikTok, YouTube), in roles such as Growth Marketing Creative Strategist, Performance Marketing Manager, or Paid Social Specialist.
  • An understanding of the importance of creative in the paid media landscape.
  • Experience in the hospitality industry.

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.

Location

We’re looking to hire someone based in Canada or the United States, ideally in Pacific Time Zone, but are open to exceptional candidates in other locations.

Motion uses artificial intelligence to support administrative and efficiency‑focused aspects of our recruitment process. All interviews and hiring decisions are made by human members of the Motion team.
