总经理
General Manager
我们正在通过融合艺术与科学，打造用于模拟世界的AI。
我们认为世界模型是人工智能进步的前沿。仅靠语言模型无法解决世界上最困难的问题——机器人技术、疾病、科学发现。真正的进步需要能够体验世界并从错误中学习的模型，就像人类一样。而这种试错过程在模拟环境中进行时，可以大幅加速，而不是在现实世界中。
世界模型为通用模拟提供了最清晰的路径，改变了故事的讲述方式、科学进步的方式以及人类下一个前沿领域的探索方式。
我们的团队由富有创造力、思维开放、富有同理心且志向远大的人组成，他们决心改变世界。我们渴望不断创造不可能的事物，而我们实现这一目标的能力依赖于打造一支非凡的团队。如果你也渴望做到这一点，我们期待你的加入。
我们正在寻找一位有远见且影响力大的日本总经理，领导我们的商业扩展。这是一个基础性职位。你将负责定义我们在日本的市场进入策略，建立企业合作伙伴关系和客户关系，并推动Runway创作者平台在该地区的采用。
注：对于位于东京的候选人，此职位可能会扩展为国家经理，负责当地运营，并作为Runway在日本的主要代表。
### **你将负责**
- 通过为日本设计市场进入策略，领导商业工作，重点关注媒体、娱乐、广告、品牌和技术行业的高价值企业客户
- 识别企业及分销合作伙伴，与日本最大公司的高管建立关系，把握日本商业文化的独特细节和长期关系建设
- 将产品和营销策略本地化到日本市场，与产品、创意和市场营销团队紧密合作，确保Runway的产品和信息能深度打动日本客户
- 成为日本及整个亚洲竞争格局、监管环境和新兴AI趋势的专家
- 建立日本办公室，招聘、领导和指导本地的企业客户经理、增长和部署负责人团队
- 在主要行业活动、会议和场合中代表Runway

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.
We are seeking a visionary and high-impact General Manager for Japan to lead our commercial expansion. This is a foundational role. You will be responsible for defining our go-to-market strategy in Japan, establishing enterprise partnerships and customer relationships and driving the adoption of Runway’s creator platform across the region.
_Note: For candidates based in Tokyo, this role may expand into the Country Manager, overseeing local operations and serving as the primary representative of Runway in Japan._
### **What You'll Do**
- Lead commercial efforts by designing the go-to-market strategy for Japan, focusing on high-value enterprise accounts in media, entertainment, advertising, brands and technology sectors
- Identify enterprise and distribution partnerships, cultivating relationships with C-suite executives at Japan’s largest firms, navigating the unique nuances of Japanese business culture and long-term relationship building
- Localize product and marketing strategy to the Japan market, working closely with Product, Creative, and Marketing teams to ensure Runway’s offerings and messaging are deeply resonant with Japanese customer base
- Serve as the subject matter expert on the Japanese and broader Asia competitive landscape, regulatory environment and emerging AI trends
- Build the Japan office by recruiting, leading and mentoring a local team of enterprise account executives, and growth and deployment leads
- Represent Runway at major industry events, conferences, and in the media to establish us as the leading AI partner for Japanese creators and enterprises
### **What We're Looking For**
- 10+ years of experience in enterprise software, media technology or high-growth AI startups, with a proven leadership track record of building and cultivating high performance teams
- Native fluency in Japanese, with professional fluency in English. You must be able to bridge the communication gap between our US teams and local stakeholders
- An existing network of relationships within major Japanese media companies, advertising agencies or major tech conglomerates
- Deep understanding of Japanese business etiquette and the ability to navigate complex organizational hierarchies
- Comfortable with the ambiguity of an early-stage international expansion for a category-defining product, thinking in first principles to both close deals on the ground and build processes for scale
Runway strives to recruit and retain exceptional talent from diverse backgrounds while ensuring pay equity for our team. Our salary ranges are based on competitive market rates for our size, stage and industry, and salary is just one part of the overall compensation package we provide.
There are many factors that go into salary determinations, including relevant experience, skill level and qualifications assessed during the interview process, and maintaining internal equity with peers on the team. The range shared below is a general expectation for the function as posted, but we are also open to considering candidates who may be more or less experienced than outlined in the job description. In this case, we will communicate any updates in the expected salary range.
Lastly, the provided range is the expected salary for candidates in the U.S. Outside of those regions, there may be a change in the range, which again, will be communicated to candidates.
#### **Working at Runway**
[**Great things come from great teams.**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwmj4ato2kw&ab_channel=Runway) **We’d love to hear from you.**
We’re committed to creating a space where our employees can bring their full selves to work and have equal opportunity to succeed. So regardless of race, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, origin, ability, age, veteran status, if joining this mission speaks to you, we encourage you to apply.
