Job description

About MotionProject 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.

My career started in FP&A, but I quickly realized I wanted more-I didn’t want to be just another cog in the machine. I needed something with more impact, more room to grow, and more technical challenges. That’s what led me to Motion.I’ve hired and trained about 30 support professionals here, and I’m proud of the fast-paced, high-ownership culture we’ve built. We don’t just answer tickets; we solve problems and make sure our customers are set up for long-term success.

It’s an opportunity to lead, innovate, and make a real impact on how we do things at Motion.I believe in pushing boundaries and constantly improving.
