Nothing is clearer to us than the belief that every woman should include strength training in her life to enhance both physical and mental well-being. It's about building strong bodies and even stronger minds, asserting their right to take up space in the gym, and allowing the spotlight to shine bright on their progress.

To us, strength training represents a determined, goal-oriented mindset and an unwavering work ethic. We don't wait for success; we create it through hard work and determination. When faced with challenges, we don't back down; instead, we break through barriers, recognising that true progress lies on the other side.

These are the pillars that form the foundation of Oner Active. We consistently challenge ourselves to create innovative and impactful products, so that you can perform better. With our range of products and innovative approach, we provide a wide variety of colours to ensure that all skin tones genuinely radiate in Oner.

We are on a mission to unite and empower women to be the strongest version of themselves through strength training. We want to inspire women to take centre stage in the gym by promoting strength training, which underpins all movement and sport, as a healthy foundation in life.

New York is our first US office as we grow the Oner Active presence in the US. It's essential that the New York office looks, feels and runs like an extension of our London HQ, the same design language, the same energy, the same culture, so that anyone walking into either office feels like they're in the same company.

We are looking for an experienced Office Manager to lead the set-up of our first US office in and then run it day-to-day once it's open. This is a step up from a typical Office Manager role, you will have built an office from scratch before, and you'll bring your own network of contacts in the New York area to make that happen.

Our London team will be scoping potential spaces with our US realtor, so you won't need to find the site yourself, but you will be the senior voice on the ground shaping it, project-managing the fit-out, and making sure it reflects our brand image and ethos, just as our other offices around the world do. Once the office is open, you'll take full ownership of office operations, facilities and culture for a growing team of 25-30 people.
