Who you are

- 4 to 8 years of skilled creative experience in social, in editing, directing, design, animation, art direction, writing or a combination

- Exceptional short-form editing skills, with a strong instinct for hooks, pacing and sound
- A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional creative output made with AI tools, not just traditional work, and not just experimentation, but polished, intentional creative work

- Deep, hands-on fluency with generative AI creative tools: you use them daily and understand their capabilities and constraints at a practitioner level

- Strong visual and conceptual taste: you know what good looks like regardless of the medium or how it was made

- Proven understanding of social media across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and X, with a strong handle on trends, formats, strategies and what each algorithm rewards

- Real-time instincts: you spot trends early and turn quality work around fast

- Self-direction and creative initiative: you don’t wait for a brief to start making

- Curiosity about the technology itself: you follow model releases, experiment with new tools and understand the trajectory of generative AI

- Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where the tools, workflows and possibilities are changing constantly

What the job involves

- We’re looking for an AI-Native Social Media Creative, a creative generalist who works natively with AI tools to produce exceptional short-form work for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and X

- Your background might be in editing, directing, design, animation, art direction or writing

- What matters is that you’re already deeply embedded in AI-assisted creative workflows and are pushing the boundaries of what these tools can do

- Editing is the core of the role, and you know how to cut short-form video that holds attention from the first frame to the last

- This is a making role

- You’ll create work across formats, from short-form video and motion to design and editorial, using Runway’s products and the broader landscape of generative AI tools

- Some days you’ll be cutting a launch-day Reel from generated footage





- Other days you’ll be jumping on a trend the moment it breaks, building out tutorial content or exploring a creative application of a product feature no one’s tried yet
- The output varies; the throughput and quality standard don’t

- Much of your work will sit at the top of the funnel, often as someone’s first encounter with Runway

- It needs to stop the scroll, perform with the algorithm and feel native to each platform

- You’ll also work in real time, turning model releases, trends and cultural moments into fast, reactive content while they’re still peaking

- You’ll sit within the creative department and report to the Social Media Lead

- But the nature of the role means you’ll also work across product, research and marketing, often as the person who translates a product capability into a compelling creative artifact that’s geared to social audiences

- Create high-quality short-form video, motion, design and animation for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and X using AI tools, primarily Runway’s own products

- Edit short-form content built to hold attention, from the opening hook through the final frame

- Develop concepts and execute finished work, not just prototypes, from initial idea through final output

- Create top-of-funnel content that stops the scroll and performs with each platform’s algorithm

- Respond to trends, news and cultural moments with fast, real-time content

- Explore and push the creative boundaries of generative AI tools, finding new techniques, workflows and visual languages

- Produce content across brand campaigns, product marketing, social, tutorials and internal demos





- Partner with product and research teams to translate new features and model capabilities into creative work that showcases what’s possible

- Contribute to the team’s evolving creative process by sharing workflows, techniques and best practices as the tools themselves evolve
