VP/Director, Enterprise Revenue

We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science.
We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world.
World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached.

Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you.

Open to hiring remote across North America - NYC, San Francisco, or Denver preferred.

Runway is scaling its Enterprise revenue organization with leaders who know how to build and scale high-performance teams. And, who can operate a revenue machine while keeping customer value in mind - leading our industry-based revenue pods responsible for both net-new ACV, NRR, and Renewal.

This role is designed for the leader who wants to accelerate their CRO career trajectory. Someone who knows how to build and scale teams and leadership excellence from $100M to $500M+ organizations, operate in AI-native fluid environments, and have experience selling-to, expanding, and renewing with client operators from across a variety of ICPs (From operators in Marketing, HR, Operations, and Finance, to technologists in AI, IT Infrastructure, and Security).

Runway is searching for leaders who enjoy the build - hiring top-performing AEs and frontline leaders to grow your teams for scale. You’re a leader-of-leaders who lead hybrid revenue pods of AEs + Engagement managers. We expect you to think like a CRO - every pod is effectively a P&L, expansion is as much your number as new logos, and any customer who signs needs to see value through consumption of the Runway platform.

If you have only ever inherited a running enterprise org, this is not the right fit. If you have built one, we'd like to talk.

• Build and lead an Enterprise segment of 3-4 frontline sales managers; each with 3-5 revenue pods beneath them with operating Enterprise Account Executives and Engagement Managers in each pod. At scale, this role leads 25 - 40 GTM teammates

• Own the segment's new ACV and NRR targets - both numbers, one owner, reviewed weekly with the CRO

• Engage personally with C-level executives on accounts, building business cases and navigating procurement, security review, legal through to production deployment

• Run the operating rhythm: forecasting to +/-5%, deal inspection, pipeline generation discipline, and account planning across a long-cycle book

• Ensure that each of your leaders engages their revenue pods (AE + Engagement manager) to drive license consumption and value output. The more we invest in our customer’s adoption, the more everyone wins.

• 12+ years of enterprise software sales with 5+ years leading enterprise sales organizations with experience as a second-line leader

• A validated record of building - you have grown an enterprise segment past 25 sellers and beaten the number while doing it

• Personal history of closing and sponsoring $250k-$1M+ ACV deals with $1B+ revenue companies

• Experience running consumption or usage-based revenue models, where expansion is earned through customer value

• Fluency with modern AI - you use these tools daily, operate your team with them to drive productivity, you can demo Runway credibly to a CMO or CTO, and you have a defensible point of view on where generative media is going

• Deep understanding of MEDDPICC and Command of the Message to reinforce value-orientation and deal progression with your teams

• A record of exceeding quota year-over-year

• Experience selling API and AI infrastructure solutions to CTO / CIOs

• Sold creative, media, or content technology to Fortune 500 marketing and studio organizations

• Built vertical pod or team structures with shared new ACV + NRR%/Renewal ownership

• Scaled a GTM org through the $100M to $500M+ revenue stage

OTE $400K - 475K (60/40 base to variable). Offers equity.
