Descripción de la vacante

Runna is seeking a Senior Manager, Product Design to own the craft, quality, and direction across core user journeys. You will lead a small design team while staying hands-on, setting standards, and driving design reviews in close partnership with Product and Engineering.

You’ll help shape Runna’s design culture as the function scales within Strava Group, partnering with senior leaders and contributing to a broader design system.

Formación

• Experience with health, fitness, sport, or community-driven consumer products, subscription apps, or AI-powered features is a plus.
• Genuine hands-on design ability: a player/coach who sets the craft standard through your own taste and judgment, not management alone.
• A track record of raising craft across a team, setting standards and building a culture where quality is expected and named.
• Substantial experience managing and developing product designers, and owning design direction across a multi-product or multi-journey portfolio.
• Experience designing consumer products at scale (an app or platform with a significant user base).
• The ability to set and articulate a clear design vision, and bring others along with it.
• You’re based in London, or ready to relocate here.
• Experience managing other managers is a plus, as this role may grow into a manager-of-managers remit.
• Strong senior partnership with Product and Engineering, including the ability to influence without authority.

Responsabilidades

• Own the design quality and direction for several of Runna’s core user journeys, setting a clear point of view on where the experience should go.
• Lead and develop a small team of designers (with the potential to manage a manager as the team grows) through consistent coaching, feedback, and 1:1s.
• Stay hands-on in the craft, giving precise, substantive feedback and setting the standard through your own taste and judgment.
• Run design reviews and drive alignment on design direction across your journeys.
• Partner closely with Product and Engineering leaders to shape strategy and ship work at a high bar.
• Raise the craft bar across the team, establishing standards and a culture where quality is expected and named.
• Contribute to Runna’s broader design system, design culture, and design leadership team.
