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 is looking for a business development manager to navigate ONNA toward success as we move through a diverse ecosystem of retail, food services, politics, distribution and more. And we are looking for someone who is excited about getting in early: ONNA closed off a high energy fundraise 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.

Your responsibilities:

At ONNA you will:

  • Be a key asset in building and executing our go-to-market strategy, ensuring an integrated commercial approach that considers all stakeholders.
  • Play a key role in establishing the cornerstones of ONNA’s commercial organization.
  • Work closely with ONNA’s commercial team and plant team to design the optimal communication of ONNA’s value proposition toward existing and future stakeholders.
  • Ensure ONNA’s mission is integrated in our commercial strategy, and think big picture about how the company interacts with our customers and partners – including support in defining ONNA’s ideal sales channels and target customers.
  • Understand the power dynamics and politics of Norway’s production/distribution/retail/horeca ecosystem and know where and how ONNA fits.
  • Develop relationships and partnerships that further ONNA’s mission.
  • Lead the company’s market analysis of Nordic markets (consumers, labor, distribution, politics, competitors etc.) Identify consumer preferences and market nuances local to Norway (and the Nordics), and provide an analytical and commercial perspective to product development – working in close cooperation with ONNA’s plant science and production team.
  • Collaborate and communicate effectively with a range of stakeholders across disciplines and perspectives. Identify which pieces of information are most important to each group and communicate updates and insights in a targeted fashion.
  • Lead and build teams, and contribute to a good team culture in the company.

Requirements:

We are doing something that has never been done before in Norway, and as a result we are weighting mindset and personality equally to previous experience. This is a great opportunity to assume responsibility and grow within the company quickly. As we say at ONNA: The only way is up!

- You have 3+ years of commercial management or business development experience.

- You have genuine interest and passion for the world of sustainable food production.

- You have strong organizational skills and are a strong team player.

- You are not scared of thinking differently. You see opportunities, where others might see challenges.

- ONNA’s mission genuinely excites you. You want to work on something meaningful that is aligned with your values.

- You are a jack of all trades with a range of skill sets. Including the ability to push forward independent work, while juggling stakeholder and project management.

- You are uncompromising when it comes to follow-through. You feel ownership of a task through completion, not just to the point of hand off.

- You know that product strategy decisions can never be made in isolation.

What we offer:

  • Professional challenges within a high growth technology company.
  • A great team of inspired and excited colleagues.
  • Significant room for professional growth and the opportunity to take on a lot of responsibility and ownership.
  • Convenient location in Oslo.
  • Competitive salary.
