We believe that deep learning techniques applied to audiovisual content will forever change art, creativity, and design tools.

  • Thoroughly understand all aspects of the Runway platform to explain the technology, workflows and use cases to users and organizations
  • Serve as the day-to-day technical expert for both pre and post sales
  • Develop and deliver product demonstrations to prospects; craft content and lead demonstrations to show customers how to leverage Runway
  • Convey customer requirements, use cases, and workflows to our Product Management team
  • Serve as a means of translation between technical and non-technical audiences, both internally and externally
  • Technically close complex opportunities through advanced competitive knowledge, research, technical skill, and credibility
  • Deliver product and technical briefings and/or presentations and articulate the successes achieved through using Runway in Quarterly Business Reviews with customers

  • Understanding of our technical and competitive landscape
  • Proven ability to lead and close large scale deals
  • Ability to deliver complex information to customers in a clear and concise way
  • Ability to thrive in a constantly changing and growing environment
  • Excitement about AI and motivation to continuously learn more about this new and exciting space!

Runway strives to recruit and retain exceptional talent from diverse backgrounds while ensuring pay equity for our team. Our salary ranges are based on competitive market rates for our size, stage and industry, and salary is just one part of the overall compensation package we provide.

There are many factors that go into salary determinations, including relevant experience, skill level and qualifications assessed during the interview process, and maintaining internal equity with peers on the team.
