Product Designer

We know it, you know it. Most companies ramble on about purpose and making the world a better place. And pretty often it feels a bit… well, forced. But we’d like to think that our story is special for real. Hear us out. The story of Nextory began in Syria, where our founders grew up. When they were children, they witnessed how the dictatorship limited the access to books, and saw what it did to their country. So when Shadi and Ninos came to Sweden, they made it their mission to make books available to everyone.

Fast forward a few years, and Nextory was born. We offer a monthly subscription where our users can read and listen to as many books as they like. Sounds like a pretty cool product to work with, right? We think so too.

So who are we looking for?

We’re on the lookout for a seasoned Product Designer who’s ready to take the lead in shaping great user experiences. You’ll own the design process end-to-end, guiding your product team toward impactful outcomes. Working in a cross-functional team, you’ll play a key role in making our apps more engaging by helping users discover great content in a way that feels seamless and intuitive.

You’re confident across the entire design process — from understanding user needs to testing prototypes and delivering design specs.

Since our design team at Nextory is small, your impact will be big. You’ll help evolve our design system, bring our brand to life in the product, and contribute to a culture of design excellence.

We’d love it if you’re a book lover, but what truly matters is your passion for solving user needs, your design expertise, and your ability to collaborate and bring good energy to the team.
