Video Content Producer & Editor (Digital Ads)

We're putting together a talented team to build the #1 training platform for Runners

We help everyday runners become outstanding by providing world-class training, coaching and community for everyone, whether you're improving your 5k time or training for your first marathon. To date we have built iOS, Android and Apple watch apps that help people achieve their goals by coaching them through the full journey and syncing to their favourite fitness devices.

We’re growing extremely fast and in November 2023 closed a new $6.5M funding round led by JamJar with participation from Eka Ventures, Venrex and Creator Ventures. We want to grow as fast as we can into the future and are looking for individuals who will help us get there. For more about our background and growth check out our Careers Page!

We’re now looking ahead to the future and the people who want to help us build and scale Runna. Our aim is to reach millions of subscribers in the next 5 years and be the go-to training platform for any runner. Now is a magical time to join, we're still small, and everyone makes a foundational difference.

Who we’re looking for

We’re seeking a bold, creative thinker to drive content creation for digital ads in the US - a key growth market for Runna. As a self-starter with fresh, attention-grabbing ideas, you’ll take ownership of campaigns to amplify Runna’s presence in the US, bringing an innovative mindset, thinking outside the box, and cutting through the noise in this exciting market.

This role will be based in the US, ideally in Boston. As the first creative hire in our US office, you'll play a key role in helping people discover Runna in this market. You'll work closely with the UK-based Performance Marketing Lead and Creative Manager, and be supported by our General Manager in Boston. We’re looking for someone proactive who can thrive in the US office while collaborating with a supportive team in the UK.

What you'll be doing

This role is focused on creating digital ads that drive action - specifically getting users to download the Runna app in the US. Reporting to the Performance Marketing Lead (UK), you'll create engaging, culturally relevant content for paid ads on Meta, Google, and TikTok to support Runna's growth in the US. Working closely with the Creative Manager, you'll help develop campaigns that resonate with US audiences and bring our brand to life in this key market.

• Video Content Creation – From concept to production, you’ll create thumb-stopping videos that cut through the noise on Meta, Google, TikTok and Youtube.
• Campaign Ideation – Generate creative ideas for digital ads, both strategic and timely, in response to current trends or new product features.
• UGC Collation – Work with Runna ambassadors to create standout content for digital ads.
• Photography – Shoot and edit photos to build a content library for ads and Runna communications.
• Creative Asset Review – Support the Creative Manager in reviewing content from external agencies to ensure it aligns with Runna’s brand.
• Event Content – Attend events and capture content for use across all channels (and generally getting involved in startup bits and bobs!)

Please note: this role does not include the management or production of content for organic social media channels.
