Tracksmith is an independent running brand. We honor the Amateur Spirit upon which the sport was founded and champion the Running Class — the non-professional yet competitive runners dedicated to the pursuit of personal excellence. We offer well-considered and authentic products for training, racing, and rest day. In everything we do, we aim to celebrate, support, and add to running’s distinct culture.

We’re looking for a Social Media Manager to lead Tracksmith’s owned and earned presence across social platforms.
