Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone full of creative energy and a sharp eye for design to join Runna’s Growth team
- Proven proficiency for graphic design within Figma, Photoshop or similar
- A strong portfolio demonstrating ability to follow brand/campaign guidelines
- A good understanding of design principles, colour theory, typography, layout composition
- Proven track record of creating super cool, social-first content
- An ability to think outside the box with innovative campaigns and fresh new ideas
- Strategic thinking with strong verbal and written presentation skills
- Passionate about self development; being connected and up-to-date with trends and movements both in and out of the industry to inspire digital look and feel of the brand
- Enthusiasm for running and inspiring more people to be active
- 1.5+ years within a graphic design / content creation role OR bachelors degree in graphic design or equivalent (bonus points if you have both!)
- Experience in paid advertising is a bonus but not required
What the job involves
- You’ll work closely with our Creative Manager and Performance Marketing Lead to create scroll-stopping content specifically for our paid ads — not organic posts
- From concept to execution, this is your chance to design standout visuals across multiple platforms to reach the next wave of Runnas
- We’re producing hundreds of ads each month to grow at pace, so you’ll have huge creative scope!
- From testing new ideas to diversifying our content mix and helping shape Runna’s brand identity as we scale globally
- You’ll be part of a fast-moving, test-and-learn culture where ideas are encouraged, feedback is quick, and every project is a chance to learn and grow
- As one of the early members of the team, you’ll have real autonomy to experiment, iterate, and make a meaningful impact on one of the world’s leading running apps
- Graphic Design – Designing eye-catching, best-in-class, graphics for social media ads (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Google etc.), emails, and in-app community content
- Concept Ideation – Contributing fresh, bold concepts in brainstorms to help shape our next top-performing ads
- Collaboration - Working with internal teams and external agencies to ensure consistency and high standards across everything we put out
- Creative Optimisation - Using performance metrics to inform, iterate and improve creatives
- Creative Research - Staying on top of design and industry trends to innovate faster
- Getting stuck into the fun - (and sometimes random) bits that come with startup life!
Application process
- Once you’ve applied here and submitted your portfolio, the process will consist of the following stages:
- Intro Chat with Josh, Talent Associate (25 min video call)
- Take Home Task & Interview (50 min video call Calum, Creative Manager and Laura, Performance Marketing Lead)
- Office visit - interview & meet the team (in-person chance to meet the team and 40 minutes interview with Miranda, Head of Growth and Dom, CEO)
- Once the process is finished, we promise to let you know our decision as soon as possible
Salary benchmarks
Our take
As a way to keep fit, running has shot up in popularity in recent years, partially due to accessibility, especially during the pandemic. But for those who want to take running to the next level – whether that be a 5K or a marathon – it can be difficult to know where to start in terms of a training plan. Runna supplies an app with personalised training plans for all types of runs, to help people achieve their running and fitness goals.
Runna was founded in 2020 by running enthusiasts for running enthusiasts, in response to the lack of tools – save paying a professional trainer – available to help runners train. Although there is a wealth of day-to-day running apps available, where Runna stands out is in providing training plans for specific races, which can be distinguished by distance and goal time. In addition, it does this whilst maintaining a sense of community, which has proven to be a popular feature amongst other running apps, and still caters to a range of experience levels.
Runna has since consistent subscriber growth since its launch, serving thousands of users globally. The company plans to build and scale into the future, reach more customers, and expand its team.
