Director of Growth Marketing

Director of Growth Marketing at Runway

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.

About the Role

We are hiring a Director of Growth Marketing to own and scale our growth engine end-to-end. This role blends growth experimentation, performance optimization, and analytics ownership to ensure we can accurately measure, diagnose, and improve how users discover our product, move through our funnel, and convert. The ideal candidate brings an engineer’s mindset to marketing: someone who is comfortable building measurement systems, working with product and engineering, and using data to drive decisions.

What You'll Do

• Own the full growth funnel across acquisition, activation, conversion, and retention
• Instrument and maintain analytics across the product and define all core growth events and metrics
• Measure traffic sources, attribution, and downstream user behavior to understand true conversion drivers
• Identify funnel drop-offs and efficiency opportunities through cohort, funnel, and experiment analysis
• Design and run growth experiments across channels that increase conversion throughout the funnel
• Connect product releases and feature launches to measurable impacts on growth and retention
• Analyze SEO and organic performance through a conversion and intent lens

What You'll Need

• 5+ years in growth analytics, marketing analytics, or analytics engineering
• Deep understanding of user funnels and conversion drivers
• Strong experience with product and marketing analytics tools, including working with event-level data
• Experience owning and executing channels that span the full funnel
• Experience measuring and prioritizing analytics in fast-moving environments
• Ability to translate data into actionable insights that inform our broader marketing and growth strategies, and then take action on those insights

Runway strives to recruit and retain exceptional talent from diverse backgrounds while ensuring pay equity for our team.
