Creative Director

Runlayer

About The Position

AI is transforming how every company operates, but most enterprises are stuck. They want to move fast with AI agents, tools, and workflows, but they can't do it safely. We're fixing that.
Our team built AI Actions for OpenAI, shipped Zapier Agents to millions of users, and launched the first remote MCP server with Anthropic. The co-creator of MCP is on our cap table. We helped establish the protocol, and now we're building the platform enterprises need to actually use it.
Runlayer is one platform for MCPs, Skills, and Agents. Purpose-built security, fine-grained governance, and complete observability so organizations can push AI forward across the entire company without the risk. We raised $11M from Khosla Ventures and Felicis, and customers include Gusto, Instacart, and Opendoor.
We're a team of 25, mostly engineers, shipping fast. If you want to work at the center of how AI gets things done, this is the moment.
As our Creative Director, you'll own video, motion, and visual storytelling across Runlayer. You'll create launch videos, product explainers, and demo content while overseeing case study production with external vendors. This is a hands-on role: you push pixels, not just strategy.
Why You'll Thrive Here
Impact: Define the visual language of the enterprise AI control plane at a critical inflection point
Excellence: Work alongside our renowned product designer from Square and Meta Reels, and founders who care deeply about craft
Ownership: Own all video and motion output, from quick explainers to polished customer stories

Requirements

• Strong motion design and video production skills. You can concept, design, and ship a launch video yourself.
• Interaction design sensibility: you understand product and can translate features into compelling visual stories
• Experience with demo videos, explainer content, and product storytelling (not just brand spots)
• Proficiency in motion tools (After Effects, etc.) and design tools (Figma)
• Ability to direct external video crews and vendors for higher-production content
• Taste. You know the difference between forgettable B2B video and content that actually lands.

Nice To Haves

• Background in tech, developer tools, or enterprise SaaS
• Experience at a high-craft consumer brand (Nike, Apple, etc.) or design-forward startup
• Web design chops in addition to motion

Responsibilities

• Create launch videos, product demos, and narrative explainer videos (think Servo-style, not high production live action)
• Design and produce motion graphics for product releases, features, and campaigns
• Oversee external vendors on customer case studies and testimonials
• Push pixels on web: landing pages, campaign assets, visual identity extensions
• Establish the motion and video language that scales as we build out the marketing team

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity — compensation that reflects your expertise and customer-facing responsibilities.
• Paid time off — 4 weeks paid vacation, paid sick leave, and paid parental leave.
• Professional development — budget for conferences, courses, and certifications in AI, enterprise software, and customer success.
• Top-tier equipment — your choice of laptop and accessories to create your ideal work environment.
• Health benefits — comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.
• Customer interaction opportunities — work directly with innovative companies and see the immediate impact of your work.
