Senior Product Designer I

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!

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. 🚀

You’ll join our Product and Engineering organisation at an exciting time of growth. 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 follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half of your time on-site – 3 days per week in Runna's office based in London, UK.

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.
