Strava for Business partners with the world's leading brands and agencies to reach and inspire active communities. Our sponsorship solutions - built around Strava's challenge platform, segments, and athlete data - offer something traditional advertising can't: genuine motivation, real-world participation, and measurable outcomes. We're growing fast, and APAC is a key part of that story. We’re looking for an Account Manager to add to our global team in Australia.
