Customer Success Lead at Runway (W21) $80K - $150K Easier and more reliable mobile app releases for teams. US / CA / Remote (US; CA) Full-time US citizenship/visa not required 3+ years About Runway Runway is building a first-of-its-kind tool for teams to track, automate, and collaborate on their mobile app releases. Managing mobile app updates has typically been a frustrating and costly exercise of performing tasks across a range of tools (e.g., GitHub, Jira, your CI environment, the command line), herding cats on Slack to get everyone on the same page, and manually updating a 50-line release spreadsheet. And there’s often even more inefficiency than teams realize, from a steady drip of small tasks and context-switching. The Runway team has firsthand experience with the problem. We’ve designed, developed, and released native mobile apps at companies like Rent the Runway, Kickstarter, and ClassPass, and we came to recognize that there was an opportunity to streamline and automate much of the process; to go far beyond traditional CI/CD workflows in fostering meaningful collaboration, de-risking development, and empowering teams to spend their time building great features instead of managing releases. About the role Runway is building a first-of-its-kind platform for teams to track, automate, and collaborate on their mobile app releases. The platform is already used by industry-leading mobile teams to ship some of your favorite apps for food delivery, fitness, finance, and more! About Us We’re a small but mighty team of ex-mobile engineers building tools for mobile teams – and there’s a lot to do! Everyone on the team works hard, learns something new every day, and gets things done. We have a strong culture of transparency and collaboration, and you won’t be working away in a silo. You’ll be valued, respected, and your work will matter. We’re a distributed team spread across multiple continents, with an NYC center of gravity. About the role This role will own the full post-sale lifecycle for Runway’s customers and play a central part in how teams adopt and scale their use of the platform. You’ll lead onboarding and activation, run ongoing account management and quarterly check-ins, and ensure customers are consistently getting value from Runway. You’ll be responsible for renewals, helping reduce churn risk, and maintaining strong relationships with mobile engineering teams, PMs, and release managers. As the founding member of our Customer Success function, you’ll help define how we partner with customers, how we measure success, and what a best-in-class Runway experience looks like. There will be plenty of opportunities for cross-functional collaboration across the company, and your work will have a direct impact on Runway’s long-term growth. This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys a mix of structured relationship management, hands-on activation work, and strategic thinking. Expansion opportunities may (and often do!) arise, but the focus of the role is adoption, value realization, and retention.

You are empathetic, curious, and genuinely interested in understanding our customers’ workflows, challenges, and goals.
