The Role
The Creative Tools Director will own the P&L for the creative tools business, set pricing, and align engineering and design priorities while running the business as a standalone entity.
Summary Generated by Built In

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.

Responsibilities

  • Own P&L for the creative tools business, including revenue, growth, and retention
  • Own pricing and packaging decisions
  • Make build vs. integrate decisions, including third-party model curation
  • Align engineering, design, and research partners around priorities

What We're Looking For

  • Has owned a P&L or been directly accountable for revenue
  • Experience with prosumer or consumer subscription businesses
  • Strong product sense; leads through influence
  • Comfortable with pricing, packaging, and growth decisions

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. The range shared below is a general expectation for the function as posted, but we are also open to considering candidates who may be more or less experienced than outlined in the job description. In this case, we will communicate any updates in the expected salary range.

Lastly, the provided range is the expected salary for candidates in the U.S. Outside of those regions, there may be a change in the range, which again, will be communicated to candidates.

Salary range: $280,000-$350,000
