Creative Manager, Film

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

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 Jam Jar 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.

This is a paid-media role: you'll be making video ads for Meta, Tik Tok and Google - not organic or brand content. You'll own end-to-end production of our paid video ads, shaping what great in-house ad film looks like as Runna scales away from agency reliance. Performance Marketing drives a large portion of Runna's subscribers, so the volume, quality and speed of the ads you produce has a direct line to growth and a real visible impact on the business.

This role is based in our London office, working 3 days per week on-site.

You’ll join a team of five creatives split across video and static ad production and report to the Creative Team Lead. The team owns creative production for Runna’s paid ads function end-to-end. You’ll work closely with Performance Marketing to keep up to date with what ads are winning on Meta and Tik Tok. It’s a small, hands‑on team with high‑ownership and no unnecessary layers between ideation, production and your ideas going live.

• Own end-to-end production of performance video ads, from concept and storyboarding through shooting and editing.

• Partner closely with our reps at Meta, Tik Tok and You Tube to build ads in line with best‑practice

• Turn performance insight into new ad concepts and fast iterations, not one‑off brand films

• Own ad learnings in the video function to build best practice and learnings playbooks

• Edit raw, creator‑sourced UGC footage into a high volume of distinct, testable ad variants

• Plan and run ad shoots independently, directing talent and creators from storyboard to delivery.

• Hold the quality bar for paid ad film, catching brand and craft issues in your own and others' work before launch

• Act as a hands‑on creative mentor to other members of the creative team

• Bring ad concepts and storyboards upstream rather than only executing against briefs

• The opportunity to travel in the UK and beyond for shoot when required

We're looking for someone genuinely enthusiastic about video production - someone who's proactive by instinct, not just when asked. On our team, no idea is a bad idea, so we want someone with a strong creative voice who's confident sharing their thinking and pushing back when they see a better way. We do need demonstrable experience producing video content in a high‑volume, high‑speed environment - performance marketing experience is a bonus, but not a requirement.

As part of the application process, we'll expect you to send us a portfolio of video work, ideally spanning UGC‑style creative, higher‑production video, and motion/animation that reflects the type of content you'll be producing in this role.
