Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of full-cycle closing experience in SaaS/AI with a quota record above 100%
- Velocity evidence: 20+ closed deals a year, multi-channel prospecting, disciplined qualification
- Native AI-tool fluency - you already sell with AI in your workflow, not despite it
- Writing and demo skills strong enough to carry a deal without a solutions engineer
- Coachability with a track record: name the coaching that changed your numbers
Desirable
- Sold to creative or marketing teams
- PLG or usage-signal selling experience
- BDR-to-AE promotion in your history - we like people who earned the chair
What the job involves
- You will carry a book of 40-60 mid-market and emerging accounts - companies in the <$1B range, closing 25-40 deals a year at $40k-$100k and building toward larger standard deal sizes as our packaging moves upmarket
- You work in a pod with a dedicated Mid-Market Engagement Manager on a shared book, with a comp plan designed to maximize earnings and customer value
- We are architecting the best GTM team in all of AI
- If you want to grow, run fast, and sell with a leading-edge frontier AI company with room to grow your career, please apply
- Run a high-velocity full-cycle motion: 25-40 closed deals a year across inbound and outbound
- Qualify hard and fast - your book is big, your calendar is the scarce resource, orientation to clear ROI and value orientation is a must
- Push deal size up: committed-volume, use-case expansion plays that turn $30k starts into $100k+ repeatable motions
- Turn product signals (usage spikes, team signups, credit burn) into pipeline
- Work with your pod's Engagement Manager so new customers hit consumption targets and your held-back commission unlocks
Salary benchmarks
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.
