Technical Support Associate (US)

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 🚀

In the Technical Support team at Runna, we handle the more technical questions and help troubleshoot app issues. Working closely with the Customer Experience team, we filter conversations so 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!

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

• You’ll help Runna’s who have questions or run into technical issues with the app. You’ll spend your day answering technical queries, helping users troubleshoot problems, and making sure they have a smooth and stress-free experience.
• This role doesn’t involve coding or debugging code, but you’ll still play a key part in resolving issues by guiding users and passing anything complex 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.
• Guide users to get the most out of the Runna App, helping them reach their running goals while building enthusiasm for training.
• Set the benchmark for customer support excellence in the fitness industry. 🚀

Supporting Colleagues via Escalation Channels:

• Provide technical expertise and support to frontline teams when issues need escalation.
• Communicate with Product and Tech teams to solve challenges effectively.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives on problem-solving, is passionate about fitness, and takes pride in delivering exceptional user experiences. As a key member of our Technical Support team, you will be pivotal in ensuring customer satisfaction, resolving issues, and creating positive relationships with our community! The ideal candidate likes getting stuck into complicated problems and understanding how to solve them.

Key Attributes:

Customer-Focused Experience:

• Experience in a customer-facing role such as customer support or technical assistance.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for effective online user interactions and internal teams.

Organisational Skills:

• Proactive in identifying and suggesting improvements to enhance user experience.

Problem-Solving Mindset:

• Ability to solve complex problems and create user-focused solutions.
• Self-motivated to research and test solutions within the app.

Software knowledge:

• Experience with tools such as Intercom, Jira, Slack, Notion, and Google Workspace is a plus.
• Basic coding knowledge is helpful but not essential.

Passion for Fitness and Running:

• Enthusiasm for fitness and health—running experience is a plus but not required.
