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. 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 that 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.

Requirements

Who we’re looking for

As the Social Content Lead at Runna, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the brand's identity, driving user engagement, and expanding our reach. You will lead a dynamic marketing team (currently a graphic designer and social media exec), and collaborate closely with the broader term to deliver amazing cross-functional content.

Channels you will own/collaborate on:

• Instagram (>130k followers), TikTok, Strava, LinkedIn, Youtube, Facebook, In-Apps, Emails, Community, Twitter, Google Business

Your role will include:

• Campaign Strategy: Own our campaign and posting strategy across all of our channels above to grow our brand by inspiring and informing our (future) followers, ultimately leading to app downloads
• Content: Leading our content team to produce the most engaging, viral and educational content - across Graphic Design, Photography and Videography
• TikTok: Leading our TikTok strategy to become one of the leading TikTok accounts for running - this one gets a special callout as it’s such a big channel focus for us!

About You

• You’re low ego - you’re here to collaborate and work with the team
• You’re a “doer”; not just a “thinker”. You’re hands on and want to roll up your sleeves / get stuck in (you have a real ‘go get it’ attitude)
• You’re organised and efficient.
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• You’re fun and (hopefully!) like running!
• You’re London based (or able to work in person 2+ days per week)
• Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
