We're putting together a talented team to build the #1 training platform for Runners

We help everyday runners become outstanding by building an incredible app providing world-class training, coaching and community for everyone, whether you're improving your 5k time or training for your first marathon.

We’re growing extremely fast! In November 2023 we closed a $6.5M funding round led by JamJar with participation from Eka Ventures, Venrex and Creator Ventures. 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 & now in 2025 we have just been acquired by Strava! 🤯 🎉

Our ambition is huge: to become the go-to global leading training platform for millions of runners everywhere. We’re growing with purpose and looking for people who want to build something meaningful with lasting impact. With the recent acquisition by Strava accelerating our journey, now is a really magical time to join 🚀

The Team You’ll Join

You’ll be part of our growing in-house Creative team made up of producers, strategists, and UGC managers who love making scroll-stopping content for platforms like Meta, TikTok, and YouTube. We’re a creative, curious bunch who aren’t afraid to test bold ideas. In this role you’ll own the relationship with Performance Marketing Managers to make sure we’re learning from what’s working (and what’s not) — keeping the feedback loop tight, sharing insights, and making sure we’re always learning, iterating, and scaling what works.

• Drive continuous testing and iteration of UGC formats to scale what works.
