About Ohana

Our mission is to give everyone the freedom to live where they want, when they want.
For guests, Ohana provides the freedom to transition to the place you want to live with the people you want to be around. For hosts, Ohana provides the freedom to pursue your dream with peace of mind that your rent is covered by a trusted sub-tenant.
As people started telling their friends about Ohana, we could hardly keep up with our growth so knew it was time to raise funds and build our team. In early May, closed our $4.2M seed round from the people who built Airbnb and Zillow:

• Spencer Rascoff - Co-founder & CEO, Zillow
• Sara Adler - Head of Corporate Development, Airbnb
• Ali Partovi - CEO, Neo
• Surabhi Gupta - Director of Engineering, Airbnb and Robinhood
• Lex Bayer - Head of Payments, Airbnb

Join our content team as an on-camera Street Interviewer, interviewing people around NYC about rent, housing, careers, salaries, and life in the city. Your videos will be seen by millions of people across our Instagram and TikTok portfolio, including NYU Subletting, Columbia Subletting, Girls Who Sublet, and Artists Who Sublet.

We're looking for someone with a bubbly, outgoing personality who feels completely comfortable approaching strangers and starting conversations. You should be naturally friendly, approachable, curious, and able to make people feel comfortable on camera within seconds.

This is a great role for someone who loves going out, meeting new people, dressing up, looking cute on camera, and being part of NYC culture and nightlife. You should genuinely enjoy being in front of the camera and have a strong sense of your own style and personality.

You'll work alongside a videographer who handles filming and audio, so your job is to focus on approaching people, asking great questions, getting interesting follow-ups, and bringing energy and personality to every interview.
