Job description

• 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
• We’re looking for an Event Marketing Manager to join our dynamic team of creatives, engineers, business folks, and more
• In this role, you’ll spearhead our event strategy by ideating and executing on events supporting various initiatives across Runway. You will work cross-functionally with Sales, Partnerships and Community on these events. You will also have a chance to contribute to broader marketing initiatives to enhance revenue and brand visibility
• Things are always moving quickly at Runway. This role requires exceptional communication and organization skills as well as an agile and dynamic mentality. You should be comfortable with change and have a willingness to go above and beyond to ensure a job is done optimally
• Source venues & vendors from existing relationships or via outreach
• Coordinate vendors for events (ex. venues, security, production installs, print collateral)
• Collaborate with Sales, Partnerships and Community teams to curate guest lists and attendees based on team objectives (ex. generate new leads, deepen partnership relationships, expand community presence)
• Facilitate day-of event activities and schedules
• Partner outreach and partnership facilitation in the context of events (festival partners, event sponsors, etc.)
