Role
Who you are
- We're looking for creatives at heart that can pick up new tools fast, hold up under high ticket volume without losing quality and identify solutions vs. just clearing the queue. If that's you, read on!
- You're already comfortable in tools like Notion, Slack, Zendesk (or similar), Google Workspace and AI platforms
- Strong written communication: clear, direct, and thoughtful at volume
- A learn-by-failing mentality, when you hit something unfamiliar, you have an experimental mindset
- Natural curiosity about how products work, why users get confused, and what could be done better
- Comfort managing your own work in a fast-moving environment- high ownership and high autonomy
- Data driven mindset: you notice patterns and know how to communicate them
- 1-3 years in customer support, operations, or technical role
- Expertise and/or interest in the creative space, AI or both
- Genuine interest in AI, creative tools or both
- What sets you apart: The most successful people in this role don't just keep up- they set the pace. They move through 60, 80, even 100+ tickets in a day without letting quality slip. They're reading the queue, not just clearing it. They notice what keeps surfacing and do something about it, a message to product, a doc, sometimes something they built themselves. They show up with ideas no one asked for yet
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
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.
