Runway is building AI to simulate the world through generative AI tools for video and creative production. The company is focused on world models as the frontier of AI progress, enabling applications in robotics, scientific discovery, and creative storytelling.
This is a rare product management role with true vertical ownership across the full product lifecycle. You will own product strategy and roadmap from early-stage research and pre-training through post-training, UX buildout, GTM strategy, and pricing. This is a GM-like mandate to drive product decisions end-to-end, unique for a company at Runway's scale.
You will be the bridge between users and internal teams (research, engineering, design), translating customer needs and model capabilities into clear product requirements. Your responsibilities include:
- Own the product strategy and roadmap for your area, from early model development through launch, pricing, and go-to-market
- Partner with research to shape what gets built, translating customer needs and model capabilities into clear product requirements and priorities
- Work closely with engineering and design to ship new products and continuously improve existing ones, making sound technical tradeoffs
- Define and analyze product metrics, run A/B tests, and use data (including your own SQL and Python analysis) to validate pain points and prioritize features
- Talk with users weekly to uncover use cases and turn feedback into product decisions
- Drive pricing and GTM strategy in partnership with business teams
You'll deeply understand what users want, what's technically possible, and what's strategic for the business. This is a fundamental and critical role at a market-defining company in its early stages.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 4+ years of product management experience, including taking products from zero to one
- Strong technical foundation, demonstrated by:
- Degree in a technical or quantitative field (computer science, HCI, math, statistics, physics)
- Professional experience writing code before the LLM codegen era (software engineer, data scientist, data analyst, or technical founder)
- Hands-on fluency with SQL, Python, AI code generation tools, and version control best practices
- Working knowledge of current ML capabilities and products, with ability to discuss tradeoffs with researchers and engineers
- Experience in fast-moving teams with comfort operating amid ambiguity
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience with generative AI, creative tools, or media products
- Experience owning pricing or GTM for a product
