We're putting together a talented team to build the #1 training platform for Runners
We help everyday runners become outstanding by providing world-class training, coaching and community for everyone, whether you're improving your 5k time or training for your first marathon. To date we have built iOS, Android and Apple watch apps that help people achieve their goals by coaching them through the full journey and syncing to their favourite fitness devices.
We're growing extremely fast and in November 2023 closed a new £5M funding round led by JamJar with participation from Eka Ventures, Venrex and Creator Ventures. And in 2024, we were selected by Apple as one of three global finalists for the 2024 iPhone App of the Year reflecting the innovation and impact of what we've built.
We want to grow as fast as we can into the future and are looking for individuals who will help us get there. For more about our background and growth check out our Careers Page!
We're now looking ahead to the future and the people who want to help us build and scale Runna. Our aim is to reach millions of subscribers in the next 5 years and be the go-to training platform for any runner. Now is a magical time to join, we're still small, and everyone makes a foundational difference.
Who We're Looking For
A
Boston-based social media enthusiast - excited to join a growing creative team we're hoping to build in the US! As the first creative hire you'll have plenty of autonomy to shoot and edit video content that stops people from scrolling and gets them talking about Runna instead. You don't just follow trend, you set them. You love innovating and creating original content that stands out from the crowd. Plus, you're data-driven - testing different hooks, experimenting with voiceovers, and using insights to make smarter creative decisions. If you're passionate about social and love creative testing, we want you on the team!
🚨 You're either based in Boston (or willing to work in person 2+ days a week).
What You'll Be Doing
This is a
hands-on role! You'll have the creative freedom to brief, film, and edit original content for Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. No two days will look the same - one day you're in the editing your footage, the next you'll be out shooting content with Runna ambassadors or your colleagues (we all pitch in!). If you enjoy being in front of the camera, you can even organise your own shoots or interviews with Runna users to create original content.
You'll
report to the Performance Marketing Lead and work closely with the Creative Manager to ideate, build briefs, and write scripts. After that, you'll source content from your own footage, our ambassador network, or UGC creators. This role is all about
creative velocity - delivering lots of fresh, engaging content to fuel our campaigns. While you'll be working in the US office, you'll regularly connect with the UK team to share ideas, feedback, and progress.
- Video Creation - Ideate, film, and edit mobile-first videos for social media ads
- Source UGC - Collaborate with Runna ambassadors and creators for content
- Review Content - Work with the Creative Manager to review agency content
- Uphold Standards - Ensure all content aligns with Runna's brand guidelines!
- Attend Events - Capture video and photo content at Runna meetups
- Analyze Data - Identify trends, optimize content, and iterate on what's performing best
