Technical Support Associate

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 JamJar with participation from Eka Ventures, Venrex and Creator Ventures. In 2024, we were selected by Apple as one of three global finalists for the 2024 iPhone App of the Year, reflecting the innovation and impact of what we’ve built & now in 2025 we have ****just been 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 🚀

The Team You’ll Join

At Runna, the Technical Support team tackles technical questions and troubleshoots app issues. Working closely with the General Support team, we filter conversations so that only the most complex problems reach the Tech Team. This frees up the Tech Team to spend less time on Intercom and more time improving the app by building new features and fixing bugs!

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be the first point of contact for Runna’s:

• You’ll help users who have questions or run into technical issues with the app, including in-app features, third-party integrations, and more.
• Most of your day will be spent responding to user conversations: answering technical queries, guiding troubleshooting steps, and ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience.
• While this role doesn’t involve coding or debugging, you’ll play a key part in resolving issues by helping users find solutions and escalating complex problems to the right team.

Providing Technical Support via Intercom:

• Deliver fast, professional technical support through our in-app platform, maintaining a world-class standard of service.

• Set the benchmark for customer support excellence in the fitness industry. 🚀

Supporting Colleagues via Escalation Channels:

• Provide technical expertise and guidance to frontline teams when issues need escalation.
• Work closely with Product and Tech teams to solve challenges effectively and share user feedback that can improve the app.
