Job Specifications
Why this role matters
Community is at the heart of running — it keeps people motivated, accountable, and coming back for more. At Runna, we've already built a coaching app loved by over 1 million runners worldwide. Now, we're ready to take our in-app community to the next level — and we're looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead the charge.
You'll own the end-to-end community experience, working alongside our Principal PM and leading a cross-functional squad. Your job? Build a place where runners connect, inspire, and support each other — and in doing so, help Runna become the best running app in the world.
What You'll Do
Own the vision for the in-app community — and turn it into reality. Shape the roadmap, drive execution, and balance experimentation with long-term bets
Build the loop. Grow participation, create stickiness, and strengthen the emotional connection runners have with Runna
Ship fast, learn faster. Work closely with engineers, designers, and content to deliver high-quality features that make a real difference
Make data your edge. Use engagement data, user insights, and experiments to identify the biggest opportunities and ruthlessly prioritise
Sweat the details. Obsess over user experience — from onboarding to everyday interactions — making sure every touchpoint feels intuitive and rewarding
Be the advocate. Champion the community internally and externally. Align stakeholders across Product, Marketing, and Customer Success around your vision
Requirements
About you
You have 5+ years of experience shipping high-quality consumer products, ideally on mobile
You've built community, social, or engagement-driven features — or you've always wanted to
You're comfortable moving fast — scoping lean experiments, iterating, and scaling
You balance big-picture thinking with attention to detail. You can take a community from 0 to 1 — and from 1 to 100
You love talking to users. Running 5+ user interviews a week sounds like a good time, not a chore
You live in the data. You're comfortable designing experiments and interpreting engagement metrics
You have the leadership skills to drive cross-functional teams and the humility to collaborate openly
You care about the mission. You don't have to be a runner (yet), but you care about building products that help people improve their lives
Bonus points if:
You've worked on social or community-led products
You have experience with react-native teams
You're passionate about health, fitness, or sport
