Head of Sport Science

Sport Science sits outside Product, Tech, and Runna, reporting directly to the CEO. The team is responsible for the ongoing scientific validation and safety of Strava's and Runna's fitness products, and for the applied research agenda that pushes forward the science of sport and fitness.

As Head of Sport Science, you'll own two things at once: the ongoing scientific validation and safety review of Runna's and Strava's fitness products, and the applied research agenda behind them. You'll manage and grow academic partnerships, define the data and benchmarks needed to make our models' insights scientifically defensible, and grow a team over time. You'll work closely with the coaching team, AI/ML, Data Science, Product, Public Policy, and Legal.

We follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half of your time on-site in our San Francisco office, three days per week.
