What the job involves
- We’re building a tool that makes content creation easy and accessible for all types of creatives. Our users love it. Runway has an actively engaged and growing community of passionate artists and creators worldwide. And we’re growing our support team to ensure we can continue to provide delightful experiences for our users every day

- Work through a high volume of inbound support tickets across Free, Standard, Pro and Unlimited plans with speed and accuracy
- Handle escalations from our AI support layer with sharp judgement on what needs a human and what doesn't
- Identify patterns across tickets and proactively surface them to the product team- not just reporting, but also offering thoughtful recommendations based on what you're seeing
- Help identify opportunities to maintain or build self-service content: help docs, short-form videos, FAQs, etc
- Engage with the Runway community on Discord and other forums
- Contribute directly to process improvements and automation, including building things yourself when the opportunity is there
- Triage complex technical issues for escalation to Enterprise support
- Live troubleshoot within the Runway platform as needed
Application process
- During our interview process, you'll have several chances to get acquainted with the Runway product and use all the features our team has built - and that starts now!
- As part of your application, instead of a cover letter, we ask that you try out the Runway product, specifically build a custom workflow
- Sign up for a free Runway account (no payment required)
- Review these resources:
- Tutorial
- Guide
- Build a workflow based on your own creative idea or theme
- Your workflow should include at least 3 steps
- Think about a real creative problem someone might solve with Runway
- Submit in the application:
- Screenshot of your completed workflow
- Brief description (3-4 sentences): What's your creative concept? What does your workflow accomplish? Who would use this?
- Note: Free accounts can build workflows but can't run them - that's fine! We want to see your ability to learn the product and think creatively about how customers might use it
Our take
Runway is revolutionising content creation and video editing with machine learning, harnessing the expansive capabilities of web-based tools. At the forefront of this transformation, the startup offers a suite of AI-powered editing tools tailored for designers, artists, and creators, setting itself apart in an industry dominated by enterprise-focused software solutions.
The company has rapidly gained recognition among some of the world's largest brands, including R/GA, New Balance, Google, and IBM, by appealing directly to creative professionals. This approach has not only solidified Runway's position in the market but also facilitated its integration into the design curricula of esteemed institutions such as NYU, RISD< and MIT.
In a testament to its growing influence and success, Runway achieved unicorn status in 2023 following a landmark $100M funding round, which valued the company at $1.5B. This milestone not only reflects investor confidence but also positions Runway to expand its innovative tools and further democratise access to advanced video editing capabilities globally.
