Who you are

We are looking for a creative and ambitious language nerd. An excellent communicator and an active listener who is passionate about understanding other people's perspectives and can adjust communication accordingly. You have an interest in society and stay updated with the latest communication and media trends. What works today might not work tomorrow. You genuinely enjoy working closely across teams and departments, and thrive when working with others to achieve results.

Working at Once Upon

Our app was created to help people save their favorite moments in an easy and fun way, a little at a time, making everyone’s memories shine. And that’s how we want our workplace to be too – life (and work) at Once Upon should definitely be filled with happiness. Because happiness is the key to success, not the other way around. Right?

We strive for a safe, caring environment that gives everyone space to be their whole self, all the time. If you are free and have fun at work, it is easier to be passionate and responsible for what you do. We always dare to do what we believe in – failing at something is not the opposite of succeeding in the long run. And we always strive to make things better, for our Once Uponers, for our planet and for each other.

Through innovation, co-creation, transparency and our collective knowledge as a team we always aim to bring value to our Once Uponers. And that collective brain grows with every new colleague that we welcome to the team, enriching us with new perspectives, experiences and views on life. If you’re looking for a little more happiness in your life and believe working at Once Upon would be fun, well, that new colleague might just be you!

At Once Upon, we commit to being an anti-racist company that leads by example. This means doing the work to be inclusive and equitable, across all aspects of our business.
