Creative Director

Creative Director

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. We helped establish the protocol, and now we're building the platform enterprises need to actually put MCP to work.

Runlayer is one platform for MCPs, Skills, and Agents: purpose-built security, fine-grained governance, and complete observability so organizations can go all-in on AI across the entire company without the risk. We just raised a $30M Series A led by Felicis, with participation from Khosla Ventures, bringing our total raised to $42M. Already trusted by Gusto, Instacart, Opendoor, dbt Labs, Cursor, and Decagon.

We're a team of 35, mostly engineers, shipping fast. Agent operators on Runlayer grew 5x in four weeks while human operators stayed flat. The shift to agentic work is already showing up in our own usage.

About the Role

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

What You'll Do

• 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

What We're Looking For

• 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.

Bonus Qualifications

• 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

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and equity — compensation that reflects your expertise and customer-facing responsibilities.

• Paid time off — 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.
