You work in alignment with our operating principles

Our operating principles are the DNA of Ona. We hold them high, evolve them as we evolve, and integrate them into everything we do. We expect everyone at Ona to actively use the principles as the playbook for how they show up and work.

You love beauty

Beautiful things inspire you. You’re energised by the idea of being the guardian of Ona’s visual identity. You have unwavering commitment to aesthetic excellence, incredibly strong taste, and want any brand you work on to be seen as the gold standard. You have the ability to create visually stunning designs that will mirror the sleekness of Ona’s product and character.

You’re a storyteller at heart

Brand design is more than beautiful images. A brand’s identity is made powerful when compelling narratives are threaded throughout your visual elements. You are an expert at translating complex ideas into visual stories. You seek to understand the audience you are creating for, dive deeply into the product and the problems it solves, and produce an end result that thoughtfully connects people to the core of Ona.

You never compromise on user experience

Users are the inspiration for the brand. From the animation of a button to the flow of an event space: none of it matters unless our users connect with it. You advocate for users by balancing business goals and technical constraints with what you know deeply resonates with them. You’re in the business of creating pathways to the product, leaving them truly delighted and connected to Ona.
