The posting

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.

*Titles posted to our careers page are updated regularly to best advertise the role and expected seniority, but internally we have a flat titling system with two types of titles: one for individual contributors and one for people managers.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a Litigation Counsel to help manage Runway's litigation and dispute resolution work day-to-day, with strategic guidance from the Associate General Counsel, Litigation. You'll join a lean team where everyone carries real responsibility from day one. You may also have the opportunity to pitch in on a variety of other legal domains to support the team. You might bring direct experience in other areas, or a demonstrated ability to pick up new subject areas quickly.

You'll work at the cutting edge of a highly technical and rapidly evolving area of the law, navigating challenges that are shaping the future of the industry. This role reports to the Associate General Counsel, Litigation.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Manage litigation, third-party process, dispute resolution, and regulatory requests involving the company. This spans everything from helping Runway develop its strategy on cutting-edge legal questions to owning all in-house-side discovery execution

- Manage outside counsel across all stages of litigation, with a focus on case strategy and the quality of written advocacy

- Build, improve, document, and execute repeatable processes for the areas above

- Advise company leadership and key stakeholders on litigation risk, aligning legal strategy with business priorities

- Field day-to-day requests from legal team members and cross-functional partners who want your litigation perspective on their commercial, product, and other legal work

- Partner with Runway’s Customer Support Team to advise on and help resolve customer escalations

- Monitor regulatory and policy developments relating to generative AI, and advise our AI safety, product, and engineering teams on them as appropriate

- Dive into the technical aspects of the product and industry to learn them inside and out, and use that knowledge to inform your advice to the business

- Support the team in other legal domains, which may include employment, trust & safety, policy, commercial, privacy, and IP

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

- A J.D. and admission in good standing with at least one state bar

- 5+ years of dedicated litigation experience (can include clerkships)

- Litigation experience in some combination of copyright, class action, securities, and regulatory matters

- Deep knowledge of complex civil litigation practice and procedure, including discovery and federal and state court rules

- A track record of running litigation matters independently: setting case strategy, managing discovery, drafting and revising briefs, helping compile key factual record, and preparing witnesses for depositions.

- A working knowledge of the key legal issues in Runway's industry.

- Excellent written and oral communication skills. That includes giving practical, clear, and commercially sensible advice, and advocating for a position while staying open-minded.

- Sound judgment under pressure and strong business acumen.

- The ability to manage multiple workstreams, prioritize effectively, and consistently deliver results.

- A strong sense of ownership, both in the highest-level strategic work and in smaller day-to-day tasks.

- Excitement about generative AI, and the motivation to become a leading expert in the legal landscape governing a rapidly innovating industry

- Creative problem-solving, curiosity, and a bias for action

NICE TO HAVE

- In-house experience

- Experience with generative AI and copyright litigation

- Familiarity with Runway and the generative AI video industry

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
