Role
Who you are
- 2+ years of CRM experience — ideally in a B2C app environment, where you’ve managed campaigns and automations across Email, Push Notifications and In-app Messages
- Hands-on experience with marketing platforms like Iterable, Braze, HubSpot or similar ESPs — including building workflows, managing segmentation, and automating campaigns
- Comfort owning end-to-end campaigns, from creative brainstorming to building in-platform, scheduling, and reporting
- A strong understanding of segmentation strategies and A/B testing best practices, with experience setting up always-on lifecycle automations
- Experience using product analytics tools (like Mixpanel) to analyse performance and uncover actionable insights
Desirable
- Have basic HTML/CSS skills to tweak email and in-app message designs
- Know your way around email deliverability best practices — like inbox placement, sender reputation and reducing spam risk

- Have experience working with AI-driven CRM platforms like Aampe

- Build and manage complex customer journeys and automations in our ESP, Iterable, using Email, Push notifications and In-app messages to engage and retain our runners
- Lead our strategic A/B testing programme — continuously testing content, creative, and journey optimisations to drive better results and hit key team and business goals
- Own campaign reporting, providing clear insights and recommendations to help the team (and wider business) understand CRM’s impact on core KPIs
- Work closely with the CRM Lead, using data and insights to help shape CRM strategy and spot opportunities to better support and motivate our runners

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.
