Our Team
We set a high bar in determining the ideal candidates for Rent the Runway. Above all else we look for people who think and act like founders. Do you dream big? Do you have relentless curiosity, passion, work ethic, and scrappiness? This is a place where you can grow 10x and accelerate your career. That’s our commitment to our employees.
The Tenets of Our Culture
A set of core values guides how we treat each other and collaborate, laying the foundation for a culture that is fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and rooted in passion, kindness, and positivity. We live by these values – we hire by them, promote them, and celebrate them every day.
Underlying our values are these key tenets:
Underlying our values are these key tenets:
Great ideas can come from anywhere.- Opportunity is yours for the taking.
- Risk and failure are encouraged.
- Embrace and trust the RTR Family.
Life at RTR
The idea behind Rent the Runway is inherently fun, and that bleeds into our culture. Our team spirit is no joke. With events like our annual beach day, anniversary party, ski trip, and dozens more throughout the year, our team comes together to let loose and bond. This culminates in our annual Core Values Celebration when we honor core values winners with personalized (and very creative) tributes.
Diversity
Rent the Runway has always been diverse across every metric, including gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and background. Our founders value a wide range of experiences and perspectives and believe magic happens when they come together. We’re building a transformative company with a team that doesn’t look like the traditional leadership at most technology companies. For that we are proud.

Our Benefits
We want Rent the Runway to be an example of what a modern workplace should be – one that is more human, focused on its people and their well-being. This means recognizing and supporting the many facets and phases of employees’ lives and fostering a culture that allows them to thrive both personally and professionally.
EQUALITY
Rent the Runway would not be successful without the hard work and dedication of our team. We owe it to our employees to take care of them. For that reason, we provide equal benefits to all employees across our corporate, retail, and warehouse teams.
LOYALTY
We are deeply grateful to team members that have helped build RTR, and, in return, we reward them – like with our sabbatical program, which enables tenured employees to take extended time off to nurture their curiosities and passions outside of work.
SUPPORT
We support employees through all aspects of life, during celebratory and challenging times alike. Policies, such as paid family sick leave, paid bereavement leave, and parental leave, put the individual and their families first and give them flexibility to do what is best for their needs.
