Role
Who you are

- A design generalist with solid UX, interaction, and visual craft, who may also bring a specialism; typography, systems thinking, or high-level data-informed design, for example
- Love speaking to users to understand needs, in order to solve problems as effectively as possible
- Partnering with product and growth to leverage quantitative data to solve problems
- Attention to small details that take designs to the next level (e.g. perfect pixel alignment, interaction, animations)
- Solid Figma & prototyping skills, and you've thought about where AI tools fit into your design process, even in small ways
- Confident working with a cross-functional team in a fast-paced, iterative environment
- Confident facilitating and participating in workshops and discussions to promote the communication of ideas

- Experience with consumer/start-up/mobile apps before

What the job involves

- Product Design at Runna is still lean, giving you plenty of ownership and space to help shape how we work
- We’re building a world-class team of ambitious and multidisciplinary designers who love creativity, craft and collaboration
- With a close connection to our users, this is a great opportunity to work on a product loved by runners around the world
- You’ll report to the Director of Product Design or a Senior Design Manager
- We're looking for a designer to shape the human moments in a runner's journey with Runna - like the times life doesn't go to plan and training needs to adapt with it
- You'll turn problems like a missed run, an injury, or a shifting goal into experiences that feel simple and reassuring
- You’ll own a specific area day-to-day, with room to branch into new problem spaces as Runna's product expands
- Working with the whole team as well as our amazing customers to discover and prioritise user’s needs across their journey
- Work with Product and Engineering to create solutions / customer journeys for complex design problems
- Illustrate design ideas using user flows & prototypes in Figma and other tools
- Conduct user testing sessions and incorporate feedback into your work
- Collaborate with developers to handover designs and ensure great interaction

- Help shape team rituals, design processes and quality standards
- Design with accessibility in mind and encourage inclusive thinking in the team
Application process
- Our aim is to keep the interview process as straightforward and enjoyable as possible, and will consist of the following stages:
- Screening call with Josh, Talent Partner (~30 minutes video call)
- Intro chat with Josephine, Director of Product Design (~45 minutes video call)
- Take home design task (~2 hours to complete)
- Task walkthrough and critique (1 hour video call - presenting the design task above and doing a design critique on an app of your choice)
- Meet the team (virtual or in-person chat with founders and rest of the product team)
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 by running enthusiasts for running enthusiasts, in response to the lack of tools available to help them train. Although there are many running apps available, Runna stands by providing training plans for specific races, which can be distinguished by distance and goal time. In addition, it supports a sense of community, and still caters to a range of experience levels.
Runna has seen consistent subscriber growth since its launch, serving thousands of users globally. The company has plans to expand both its features and team, while reaching more customers in the future. Its acquisition by fitness giant Strava will certainly help it on its way to achieving these aims.
