Our mission:

ONNA is on a mission to build a more sustainable and transparent food system. Our vertical farms and controlled environment technology will reduce the environmental burden and negative externalities of food production. In parallel, we seek to increase Nordic food independence in the face of climate change - and disrupt global food production.

Put shortly, vertical farming is an extremely efficient cultivation technology for lettuces and herbs. By growing plants inside, in a fully controlled environment, you can optimize for the ideal combination of climate, lights, nutrition and water. Without using pesticides or other pesky chemicals. Our farms are stacked vertically, ensuring a much greater yield per area and the opportunity to produce food closer to urban centers. As a result, ONNA facilitates the consumption of locally produced, nutritious vegetables while simultaneously reducing food waste through the supply chain.

Your mission:

ONNA’s production and operations team will (amongst other) consist of materials procurement, quality control, cultivation management and production control. In addition, we are establishing a dedicated plant science operations team, which will work closely with the production team to integrate new cultivars and optimize production parameters. In other words, you would be responsible for getting ONNA’s products into the hands and mouths of Norwegian consumers, whilst ensuring that those products live up to ONNA’s commitments to quality, safety, variety and continuous improvement.

We are looking for someone who is excited about getting in early: ONNA closed off a high energy fundraiser last fall (NOK 50m) and is now building the first largescale vertical farm in Norway. We are aiming to start production in Q3/4 2021 and will expand through the Nordics in the years to come.

We are looking to fill several specialized roles in the next 6-12 months, to build the strongest possible team consisting of committed and passionate plant scientists, agronomists, agtech champions and cultivation specialists. So, if you fall into one of these categories, we urge you to reach out!

• You have full professional proficiency in Norwegian and English, with excellent communication skills
• You are not scared of thinking differently. You see opportunities, where others might see challenges.
