Job description

JOIN OUR RUNNING APP TEAM

The adidas Running App helps users track workouts, chart progress, join challenges and virtual races, and access content that keeps their fitness journey moving. In select markets, they can also win incredible rewards with adiClub points they earn in the app.

Internship – Digital Design

Our mission: to motivate runners, push their progress, and inspire them to reach their goals, one step at a time. The app had 70 million registered users in 64 countries who collectively tracked 278 million activities and logged 898 million km in 2025.

Users range from beginners to advanced athletes of all age groups; they also walk, cycle, strength‑train, use the treadmill, hike, and much more.

The adidas Running App team sits within the global Storytelling team, adidas Digital Content's internal creative agency. Together, we deliver digital content, strategic project guidance and creative direction for all things digital, and are made up of three pillars: Creative, Production, and Content Strategy. We serve as the bridge between brand direction and the digital ecosystem.

We collaborate closely with Digital Product Owners, UX design and copy, Content Strategy, Digital Sports Activations, Sports Experience, Membership, CRM, and the adidas Runners teams to ensure every user enjoys a seamless, inspiring experience throughout their fitness journey.
