Job description

About Runway

Runway is a collaborative business planning platform designed to make business intuitively understandable for everyone.

Our Mission: To make business accessible and understandable to everyone. We believe that teams that understand the “why” behind their work are more productive and make better decisions. True alignment and collaboration come from having a shared source of truth that everyone understands.

Our Approach: Runway replaces traditional spreadsheets with a modern planning platform that brings clarity and context to business operations for all teams — not just finance. Just as Figma made design accessible across the organization, Runway does the same for business planning.

Why It Matters: Understanding requires more than just access to numbers; real collaboration happens when teams see how their work fits into the bigger picture. By providing this context, Runway helps teams save time and move faster.

Our Customers: Worldclass companies like AngelList, Superhuman, Stability.AI, ConvertKit, Lambda Labs, Lob, and SandboxVR rely on Runway to run their businesses more efficiently.

Our Investors: We are supported by a select group of investors that we admire, including Garry Tan (YC & Initialized), a16z, Elad Gil, Naval Ravikant, Dylan Field (founder of Figma), Eric Ries, Claire Hughes Johnson (COO of Stripe), Henry Ward (founder of Carta), Akshay Kothari (COO of Notion), Eugene Wei, Lenny Rachitsky, Nikita Bier, Scott Belsky, Soleio Cuervo, Balaji Srinivasan, and many others.

Working at Runway

Were early, so youll have an opportunity to shape not just our product, but the company itself: who we work with, and how we work together.

We strive to be clear in our communication and overcommunicate by default.

Were remotefirst, so you can work from anywhere in North America. However, we also believe in the value of facetime to solve really hard problems, so we:

  • Meet together as a company every quarter in our San Francisco office.

  • Open up offices in places with many teammates (we currently have offices in SF and NYC).

  • Make it easy to fly out and meet together.

    • Below are the values we share as a team, so if you like these, you’ll enjoy working here.

      Our Values
      • 💩 Give a Shit: Giving a shit can’t be taught. It’s an inner drive that compels you to do what’s right and do it well. Have passion, take pride, and care deeply about your impact.

      • 💡 Create Clarity: Cut through ambiguity and reveal the truth. Start with why, then answer how and what. Treat problems like puzzles, dig deeper, and find the right path.

      • 🤝 Build Trust: With trust, it’s safe to take risks. We get there by being open, honest, and accountable. Actively listen, speak your mind, and consistently show up.

      • ✨ Raise the Bar: Scrap the status quo and push yourself to create something that wows. Get others excited to do the same. Iterate, elevate, and don’t stop moving forward.

        • What you’ll do

          Were looking for a seasoned product design generalist. In this role, you’ll be responsible for:

          • The Design of Runway: Youll define and design our core product from research to strategy to interactions to pixels. As a member of our small design team, you will have outsized ownership and impact on our product direction and will be putting in the foundations of our design systems in place, so our customers have an elegant, consistent experience.

          • Build the Company: As one of the first few employees, we rely upon our early team members to help us build the company. Sharing your work, communicating your process, and building our design recruiting brand will be part of your responsibilities so that we can attract more talented people to our company as we scale.

            • Who are we looking for

              We’re building an amazing team with smart, highperforming people who have:

              • strong product design skill, with impeccable taste (fluency and skill in UI, UX, visuals, and research, with the highest standards for quality)

              • a learning mindset, with curiosity about our product, customers, and ways of working

              • humility, low ego, and clarity when sharing ideas, giving and receiving feedback, and making decisions

              • optimistic pragmatism by delivering great work that’s not compromised by the realities of a small team iterating on a big problem with little time

              • ability to manage complexity and ambiguity, balancing easeofuse and power in the product, and scope of a project

              • proactive team leadership and partnership with their engineering and design colleagues
