Rent The Runway

It's a very exciting time at Rent The Runway as we're focused on innovating our experience to drive significant GROWTH. This means we want customer obsessed leaders who are creative and willing to disrupt traditional ecommerce norms.

Current or former customers encouraged to apply:) https://lnkd.in/gucUZ6Mh

This Women’s History Month, our CEO & Co-Founder, Jennifer Hyman, is thinking about the change we need to see to get more women to the top in the corporate world. For decades women have had the professional qualifications for upward mobility in their careers, but progress has been too slow. 

Jenn believes that a key accelerant for women in the workplace is a vocal community of advocates that publicly champion our successes and accomplishments. However, studies show that women are less likely to self-promote their professional accolades than their male counterparts — and because they talk less about themselves, their accomplishments become less visible.

Rent the Runway is looking to change the conversation by encouraging women to show off — so that their professional victories become more seen and talked about. It’s this very self-promotion that will enable women to more quickly ascend the corporate ladder. 

Today, we are hoping to kick off a virtuous cycle of lifting women up through public recognition on LinkedIn. During March, Rent the Runway is gifting $1M in free one month subscriptions of our most popular 10-item plan to women who have recently experienced a recent professional accomplishment that deserves celebrating. You can either self-nominate by commenting on Jenn’s post and sharing an accolade you've recently achieved at work… or you can nominate a friend who’s recently experienced a professional win and tell her story, too. #RTRShowOff #IWD2024

📣 Rent the Runway has launched LUXURY 📣

Our mission has always been to democratize fashion and with the launch of The Vault, we are making luxury more accessible than ever. This collection features high fashion by universally-beloved designers such as Oscar de la Renta, Etro, RACHEL GILBERT, Zac Posen and provides unparalleled access to coveted designer looks retailing for $1,000-$8,000. 

Our team has built incredible relationships with designers since 2009, and we've gone from convincing brands that rental is the future to seeing some of the biggest fashion houses in the world consider RTR an important customer awareness and acquisition channel. 

We are thrilled to see this initiative come to life as yet another testament to our commitment to our customer and providing a unique and magical experience.
