Job Description

AI Summary

• Lead the Creative Tools business as a director responsible for P&L, revenue growth, retention, pricing strategy, and roadmap decisions while working with engineers, designers, and researchers. • Must have prior experience owning a P&L or direct revenue accountability, preferably in prosumer/consumer subscription businesses, with strong product sense and comfort making pricing and growth decisions. • This is a leadership role focused on strategic decision-making and influence rather than people management; you'll prioritize problems, make build-vs-integrate tradeoffs, and drive results. • Remote positions available across North America with offices in NYC, San Francisco, and Seattle; salary range $280,000-$350,000 plus broader compensation package. • Join Runway's mission to build AI world models that advance scientific discovery, robotics, and creative storytelling by merging art and science.

We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science.

We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world.

World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached.

Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you.

About the role

*Open to hiring remote across North America— we also have offices in NYC, San Francisco and Seattle.

You'll run Creative Tools as a business - owning the roadmap, the growth strategy, and the outcomes. You'll decide what gets built, how it's priced, and how we win.

This is a leadership role, not a management role. You'll work with world-class engineers, designers, and researchers. Your job is to point them at the right problems, make the hard tradeoffs, and be accountable for results.

Align engineering, design, and research partners around priorities

What We're Looking For

Experience with prosumer or consumer subscription businesses
Strong product sense; leads through influence
Comfortable with pricing, packaging, and growth decisions
