Job Description

About the Brand
At Rent the Runway , Our mission is to  power women to feel their best every day.  We started a rental revolution, and changed the fashion industry.

In 2009, we disrupted the trillion-dollar fashion industry and changed the way women get dressed forever by pioneering the ‘Closet in the Cloud’: a dream closet filled with an infinite selection of designer styles to rent, wear and return (or keep!). Every trend, every color, every print, everything you’ve ever wanted to wear — for a fraction of the cost. We’ve continued to expand our closet over the past decade, powering our community to save time, money and have more fun getting dressed. All while contributing to a more sustainable future of fashion.

A community that shares more than just clothes.
