Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Runway is an innovative company focused on building AI that merges art and science. They are seeking a founding product marketer to define the company's positioning across three distinct businesses and build the necessary launch and enablement systems to support rapid product delivery.
Responsibilities
- Own Runway's positioning. Partner with the co-founders and exec leadership team to define company and product positioning across Creative, Dev, and Robotics. Own the content and positioning of Runway's marketing properties and launches, ensuring our story is sharp, consistent, and reflective of Runway’s ambitious brand
- Build the product launch operating system. Runway moves extremely fast; launches sometimes go out within days of work starting. You’ll design a system that keeps up: a launch tiering model, clear cross-functional expectations, and a tight, repeatable path from "PM says it's ready" to "announcement is live the next day."
- Drive competitive intelligence and response. Track and deeply understand the key players across all three markets: creative tools, developer/inference platforms, and robotics. Turn your market understanding into a living point of view on where we win, where we're exposed, and how we respond, and make it legible to product and leadership
- Enable GTM teams. Stand up a lightweight product enablement process so sales, partnerships, and support always have current, credible messaging, positioning, and proof points
- Ship, hands-on. Write the positioning, the launch narratives, and the enablement materials yourself. Talk to customers and the field regularly. You'll be in the details daily
- Build the team. Start as the primary hands-on driver for product marketing company-wide, then hire and lead a team as the function grows. You’ll raise the bar on craft and speed as you scale
Skills
- 7+ years in product marketing, including time leading PMM for technical or fast-moving products at meaningful scale
- A track record of positioning and launches that moved the business, not just shipped assets
- Exceptional positioning and narrative craft
- You can take research concepts and technical products and make them land
- You create sharp written arguments, compelling launch stories, and messages that a discerning audience trusts
- You know what great looks like and you can write it yourself
- You thrive in an environment with rapid pace and a high accountability culture
- You move very fast, make decisions with incomplete information, and instinctively gravitate toward shipping today (not writing docs for tomorrow)
- A systems builder
- You've designed launch and enablement processes from scratch (eg: tiering, cross-functional rituals, fast-turnaround workflows) that lowered friction for the teams shipping, rather than adding gates
- Sharp competitive instincts
- You track markets closely, form a real point of view on where to win, and translate it into product and messaging decisions
- Range across audiences
- Comfortable marketing to creators, developers, and enterprise buyers alike
- You're quick to get credible in a new domain like robotics
