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
• Open to hiring remote across the US — we also have offices in NYC, San Francisco, and Seattle
• The Head of GTM Strategy & Operations is the CRO's most critical early hire. This person does not sell; they build the machine that sellers run on. They are the architect of how Runway goes to market: how territories are drawn, how quotas are modeled, how the forecast is built, how new AEs ramp, and how the entire revenue organization operates with precision at scale. Key to this role is designing and orchestrating AI systems architecture to improve productivity per AE.

This is a zero-to-one role. Most of the infrastructure does not exist yet. You will design it, build it, and own it. This role requires someone who is energized by blank-canvas complexity, not process optimization. If you've only ever maintained a machine someone else built, this is not the right fit. If you've built one (especially with AI), we'd like to talk.

• What you’ll do
• Your mandate spans four domains. Each is a build, not a handoff.
• Revenue Operations Architecture
• Own the evolution of RevOps from a Finance sub-function into the CRO's operating system: reporting, structure, and mandate

Design and maintain territory architecture across all AE segments, rebalanced annually with clear RevOps-owned routing logic in Salesforce Build and own the quota modeling process: capacity planning, attainment tracking, and scenario analysis for headcount decisions Establish and run the forecasting methodology: MEDDICC-based commit/best-case structure, +/-5% accuracy target, weekly CRO cadence Own the deal desk: pricing guardrails, discount authority levels, and custom quote governance Govern the GTM tech stack (Salesforce, Gong, Clay, Slack, Claude, etc.) and evaluate new additions

• GTM Engineering & Signal Intelligence
• Build the PLG-to-Enterprise signal layer: product usage data into intent scoring into BDR/AE routing queue

Architect and deploy GTM AI agents (Signal Agent, Research Agent, Sequence Agent, Forecast Agent) Own the ICP scoring model and its continuous refinement as deal data compounds Manage the outbound data infrastructure (Clay enrichment, sequencing, intent) and optimize BDR productivity at the systems level

• Enablement Program Design
• Design the 30-day onboarding and ramp certification program for all AEs, Forward Deployed Creatives, Deployment, and Support hires

Build the living sales playbook: MEDDICC qualification framework, customer plays, competitive battlecards, and objection library, all specific to Runway Own the sales content architecture: what exists, how it is organized, and how it gets updated as product and ICP evolve Partner with Marketing & Product to translate demand gen activity into seller-ready assets and sequences

• GTM Program Management
• Drive the annual GTM planning cycle: headcount modeling, OKR setting, territory design, quota assignment, and comp plan rollout

Build and maintain the CRO executive dashboard: pipeline coverage, conversion rates, ramp velocity, NRR, and forecast accuracy Manage the partnership program infrastructure: tier frameworks, partner portal, onboarding, and co-sell tracking Prepare the CRO for board meetings, QBRs, and executive reviews: narrative, data, and slide-ready output Project-manage cross-functional GTM initiatives (pricing changes, new product launches, new segment entry) with Sales, Product, and Finance

• What you’ll need
• 8+ years in RevOps, GTM Strategy, Sales Strategy, or related roles at high-growth B2B SaaS/ AI companies

Experience building and scaling GTM infrastructure in the $100M–$500M ARR stage Strong ownership of forecasting, territory design, quota planning, and pipe
