Description
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 iPhone app of the year, reflecting the innovation and impact of what we’ve built & in 2025 we were acquired by Strava https://www.strava.com/about?hl=en-GB! 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 The Growth Team at Runna is responsible for how runners discover, convert, and engage with our product. Sitting at the intersection of marketing, product, and data, the team drives scalable user growth while ensuring a seamless experience from first touch through to early retention (as well as winback). You'll head up a cross-functional team of 8 (and growing) across three squads: Acquisition (incl. Martech), onboarding & activation and Monetisation, all spanning engineering, product, and design. Together, they own the end-to-end growth journey: acquisition, conversion, and early retention. Collaborating closely with the Director of Growth Marketing, Director of Brand Marketing team, and the wider Product team, you'll play a central role in scaling Runna's user base and turning new runners into long-term customers. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING You'll be a key member of the Runna Senior Leadership Team, reporting directly to the Managing Director (Josh). You'll take ownership of one of Runna's four core product pillars and operate as a senior leader across the entire Product org, not just within your pillar; you're as accountable for the health and direction of the PM org as you are for your own squads' outcomes. This is a hands-on leadership role with outsized scope. Own the strategy and shape company priorities: Define the multi-year vision for the Growth pillar and influence company-level product priorities. Ensure the Growth roadmap connects clearly to Runna's overarching business goals and drives measurable impact across acquisition, conversion, and early retention. Maximise our unique relationship within the Strava Group - turning access to Strava's runners and ecosystem into a durable growth advantage. Connect insights from acquisition channels, user behaviour, and experiments back into product and company strategy. Own the in-product growth surface: Drive the in-app experiences that turn first-time users into committed, paying runners - onboarding, activation, the trial and paywall journey, free-to-paid conversion, and the early-retention loops that make Runna stick. Own the experimentation pace and quality across these surfaces. Partner with Growth Marketing (and others) to own the full funnel - and the data behind it: Work closely with the Director of Growth Marketing to create a tight, continuous loop between product and marketing - so that learnings from paid, organic, and lifecycle channels directly inform product decisions, and product insights sharpen marketing execution across acquisition and winback. Build the data and measurement foundation: Stand up the technical foundations - server-side tracking, attribution, marketing automation tooling - and collaborate with the Director of Growth Marketing to ensure that we as a business have end-to-end measurement architecture that gives a clear, accurate visibility into what's driving subscriber growth.
