Job Overview
We’re looking for a junior writer with a love for running, a sharp editorial eye, and the organizational chops to help us deliver best‑in‑class written content, especially for our brand and race partners. This is not a social media role. You’ll spend around two‑thirds of your time working closely with the Partnerships team, helping us create and deliver compelling content for our partners—from race training hubs and email copy to adapted support articles. The rest of your time will be spent supporting the Content Lead across SEO‑driven support articles, product reviews, and other editorial tasks. You’ll collaborate with coaches, marketers, and partners to make sure the right message reaches the right runner at the right time. You don’t need to be a content expert (yet!), but you do need to be a clear communicator, a confident writer, and someone who genuinely understands the running world.
Responsibilities
* Create & Coordinate Partner Content
* Draft and adapt content for Runna’s partners (e.g. race organisers, brands) including solus emails, newsletter mentions, and custom article adaptations
* Help maintain training hubs for key race and brand partners, updating copy as needed
* Tailor content by region (e.g. UK / US) based on audience needs, race calendars, and tone of voice
* Track engagement and share learnings with the partnerships team to refine content strategy
* Help write, edit, ideate, and optimize articles for our Support Articles focused on helping runners stay informed and motivated
* Research and update product reviews (e.g. top running shoes, gear guides) to reflect current trends and user needs
* Ensure all content is aligned with SEO targets, search intent, and brand voice
* Help manage Runna’s content calendar and resource library, ensuring our articles and partner hubs are timely, tidy, and easy to access
* Assist in maintaining consistency across platforms and content types
* Liaise with internal stakeholders to ensure deadlines are met and partner content is delivered smoothly
Qualities we’re looking for
* A strong writer: you can switch between informative, motivating, and concise tones with ease
* An organiser: you’re methodical, on top of tight deadlines, and comfortable managing moving parts
* An ideas person: you’re brimming with ideas for new articles and we can deliver more meaningful content to runners and partners
* A runner or running enthusiast: you speak the language of races, gear, and pacing naturally
* A collaborative communicator: you’re comfortable working with different teams and gathering input from multiple voices
* A fast learner: you’re keen to grow your editorial and strategic skills as part of a small, ambitious team
Bonus
* Experience writing for a fitness, wellness, or sports brand
* Familiarity with content tools like Notion, Webflow, Intercom, or Google Analytics
* An understanding of SEO basics and / or email marketing best practices
Pay & Benefits
Base pay range (£31,500‑£35,000) depending on experience. Your actual pay will be based on your skills and experience – talk with your recruiter to learn more.
* Flexible working (we typically work 2‑3 days in our office in Vauxhall)
* Salary reviews every 6 months or whenever we raise more investment
* 25 days of holiday plus bank holidays
* A workplace pension scheme
* A brand new Macbook, a running watch of your choice, £300 budget to set up your desk and anything else you need to do your best work
* Private health insurance
* Enhanced family care policy (3 months fully paid leave when a new Runna joins the family, fertility support & other benefits)
* An hour slot each week (during work time) to do a Runna workout

* Office visit including task (60‑minute meeting in the office – coffee with Michelle and team, meet the wider team, coffee with Dom)
Once the process is finished, we promise to let you know our decision as soon as possible.
