About this role

About Runway

Runway is a collaborative business planning platform designed to make business intuitively understandable for everyone.

Our Mission: To make business accessible and understandable to everyone. We believe that teams that understand the โ€œwhyโ€ behind their work are more productive and make better decisions. True alignment and collaboration come from having a shared source of truth that everyone understands.

Our Approach: Runway replaces traditional spreadsheets with a modern planning platform that brings clarity and context to business operations for all teams โ€” not just finance. Just as Figma made design accessible across the organization, Runway does the same for business planning.

Why It Matters: Understanding requires more than just access to numbers; real collaboration happens when teams see how their work fits into the bigger picture. By providing this context, Runway helps teams save time and move faster.

Our Customers: World-class companies like AngelList, Superhuman, Stability.AI, ConvertKit, Lambda Labs, Lob, and SandboxVR rely on Runway to run their businesses more efficiently.

Our Investors: We are supported by a select group of investors that we admire, including Garry Tan (YC & Initialized), a16z, Elad Gil, Naval Ravikant, Dylan Field (founder of Figma), Eric Ries, Claire Hughes Johnson (COO of Stripe), Henry Ward (founder of Carta), Akshay Kothari (COO of Notion), Eugene Wei, Lenny Rachitsky, Nikita Bier, Scott Belsky, Soleio Cuervo, Balaji Srinivasan, and many others.

Working at Runway

We're early, so you'll have an opportunity to shape not just our product, but the company itself: who we work with, and how we work together.

We strive to be clear in our communication and over-communicate by default.

We're remote-first, so you can work from anywhere in North America. However, we also believe in the value of face-time to solve really hard problems, so we:

  • Meet together as a company every quarter in our San Francisco office.

  • Open up offices in places with many teammates (we currently have offices in SF and NYC).

  • Make it easy to fly out and meet together.

Below are the values we share as a team, so if you like these, youโ€™ll enjoy working here.

Our Values

  • ๐Ÿ’ฉย Give a Shit: Giving a shit canโ€™t be taught. Itโ€™s an inner drive that compels you to do whatโ€™s right and do it well. Have passion, take pride, and care deeply about your impact.

  • ๐Ÿ’กย Create Clarity: Cut through ambiguity and reveal the truth. Start with why, then answer how and what. Treat problems like puzzles, dig deeper, and find the right path.

  • ๐Ÿคย Build Trust: With trust, itโ€™s safe to take risks. We get there by being open, honest, and accountable. Actively listen, speak your mind, and consistently show up.

  • โœจย Raise the Bar: Scrap the status quo and push yourself to create something that wows. Get others excited to do the same. Iterate, elevate, and donโ€™t stop moving forward.

What youโ€™ll do

  • Leading customers through implementation, onboarding, and adoption, ensuring their success from setup through scale.

  • Conducting 2-4 high-impact customer sessions daily, including hands-on modeling and training calls.

  • Building and refining financial models - forecasts, balance sheets, income statements, and scenario analyses.

  • Partnering with internal product and success teams to continuously improve Runwayโ€™s onboarding experience.

  • Measuring and driving outcomes like time-to-value, customer retention, and user independence.

Youโ€™ll love this role at Runway if you have

  • Finance & Technical Expertise

    • Deep understanding of financial statements, forecasting, and scenario analysis.

    • Comfort working with SQL and structured data.

    • Experience in SaaS onboarding, consulting, or FP&A roles.

    • Familiarity with tools like HubSpot, Notion, and Runway.

  • Soft Skills

    • Exceptional communication and relationship-building abilities.

    • A problem-solving mindset with strong analytical instincts.

    • Ability to prioritize and adapt in a dynamic, fast-moving environment.
