• Bring three to five years in management consulting, ideally MBB. • Bring familiarity with fitness, wellness, or subscription and D2C business models. • Bring experience building reusable analytical frameworks and dashboards. • Bring experience running or supporting a quarterly OKR process. • Let your Talent Partner know if anything would help you show your best self during the process, from scheduling around childcare commitments to accessibility requirements.

Runna is one of the most exciting fitness startups in the UK right now, and the Strava acquisition only makes the opportunity bigger. In under four years from launch, Dom and Ben built Runna from a website selling personalised PDF training plans to a globally rated running coaching app, a finalist for Apple's iPhone App of the Year, and ultimately an acquisition by the world's largest fitness community. The team has grown to over 150 people across London and Boston, and Strava has publicly committed to investing further in growing both the team and the product. What stands out on Glassdoor (4.9/5 from 31 reviews, with 100% of employees recommending it) is how consistently people praise the culture, the kindness of their colleagues, and the quality of the leadership. Benefits are genuinely strong for a company this size: private health insurance, enhanced parental leave (up to 20 weeks fully paid), Strava equity, a smartwatch as you pass probation, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, and a paid hour each week to go for a run during work hours. They operate a flexi-hybrid model, typically three days a week in their Vauxhall office. The team runs bi-weekly together, and Workout Wednesdays include exercise plus a free lunch. The main thing to be aware of is that this is a fast-paced startup environment where priorities can shift quickly, which some reviewers flag as a challenge. There is also a slight bias toward hiring passionate runners, though this has been improving. If you want to work on a product that helped millions of runners train, alongside kind and ambitious people, with the backing and scale of Strava behind you, Runna is a brilliant opportunity.

• Earn a salary of £80,750 to £105,000, plus participation in Strava’s long-term incentive stock programs. • Work flexibly, typically spending three days a week together in the Vauxhall office. • Take 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, whenever suits you. • Get free Runna and Strava subscriptions for yourself and three friends. • Use a Headspace membership and Modern Health, a mental wellness platform combining technology with professional support. • Receive money every year to spend on gear, events, and the gym. • Access private health insurance with Bupa and a workplace pension scheme. • Use Carrot fertility support, covering inclusive fertility, hormonal health, and family-forming benefits.

Runna is building the number one training platform for runners, helping everyday runners become outstanding through an app offering world-class training, coaching and community, whether they are improving a 5k time or training for a first marathon. It closed a $6.5M funding round led by JamJar in November 2023 with participation from Eka Ventures, Venrex and Creator Ventures, was selected by Apple as one of three global finalists for iPhone app of the year in 2024, and was acquired by Strava in 2025. Its ambition is to become the go-to global training platform for millions of runners everywhere.
