Sr./Staff Product Designer, Growth

Job description

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're looking for a Product Designer to own the surfaces where Runway turns usage into revenue: pricing, upgrade paths, checkout, and the moments a creator decides Runway is worth paying more for. You'll partner with growth engineering, product, and data to turn goals like ARR growth, expansion revenue, and reduced churn into tested, shipped design changes. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Own growth-critical surfaces (pricing pages, paywalls, upgrade prompts, and checkout flows) from concept through shipped, tested experiments - Turn business goals like ARR growth, expansion revenue, and reduced churn into design hypotheses and interface changes you can test - Design and read A/B tests and other experiments with growth engineering and data, iterating fast on what moves the numbers - Collaborate closely with growth engineering and product to ship experiments quickly and turn winners into permanent product surfaces - Contribute to visual and interaction consistency between growth surfaces and the rest of the product - Set the design direction for Runway's growth surfaces and mentor other designers working in the funnel WHAT YOU’LL NEED - Experience designing product surfaces tied directly to revenue and can point to what moved ARR, conversion, or expansion revenue in a past role - Comfort running and reading quantitative experiments, not just shipping a single "best" design - Experience designing flows, prototypes and high-fidelity UI's for web products, with strong visual design skills - Experience delivering and iterating fast in close collaboration with engineering, and product teams - Ability and flexibility to iterate fast and often - Comfortable picking up unfamiliar parts of the product rather than waiting to be assigned only what you already know - Knowledge and understanding of the creative tool space - Bonus points if you have experience creating functional prototypes using AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) - At Runway, it's always a bonus if you have artistic and creative potential (particularly skills with video/audio editing, icon/typography design, illustration, etc.) Runway strives to recruit and retain exceptional talent from diverse backgrounds while ensuring pay equity for our team. Our salary ranges are based on competitive market rates for our size, stage and industry, and salary is just one part of the overall compensation package we provide. There are many factors that go into salary determinations, including relevant experience, skill level and qualifications assessed during the interview process, and maintaining internal equity with peers on the team. The range shared below is a general expectation for the function as posted, but we are also open to considering candidates who may be more or less experienced than outlined in the job description. In this case, we will communicate any updates in the expected salary range. Lastly, the provided range is the expected salary for candidates in the U.S. Outside of those regions, there may be a change in the range, which again, will be communicated to candidates.
