JOB DETAILS:
Ona is a social enterprise that builds the data infrastructure to drive change.

Explorer.
• Since we’re a startup, you’ll have to be a self-starter who is organized and can manage multiple projects at the same time.
• You thrive in teams and projects that span timezones and cultures.
• Since some of our team works remotely, you’ll also need great communication skills and to be empathetic.
