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.

Our founders, Shadi Bitar and Ninos Malki, came to Sweden from Syria when they were kids. Books became their compass, guiding them through the maze of life, and helping them shape their destinies in a new world.

Their dream was bold: What if they could unlock the world of books for everyone, making knowledge and inspiration accessible to all? Fast forward a few years, and the tale of Nextory was born.

At Nextory, we've crafted a revolutionary monthly subscription that empowers our users to devour books like never before, be it through reading or listening. It's not just a product; it's a passport to endless adventure and enlightenment.

And now, we're on a quest to find our Head of Partnerships, someone as passionate as we are about making the world a happier place and enriching lives through the world of reading. Join our extraordinary team, and let's script a future where every day is a chapter of discovery, and every book is a key to a richer life.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

As Head of Partnerships at Nextory, you will lead the partnership sales strategy at Nextory and drive customer acquisition execution through our Local Acquisition team with a creative and strategic mindset.

You will also play a critical role in leading sales forecast meetings, contributing with valuable insights and strategies to guide company-wide initiatives. As a key stakeholder, you will work cross-functionally with other teams, ensuring alignment and maximizing impact.

At Nextory, you will join an amazing team of experts in content, marketing, business development, sales and partnerships – all united by the mission of making reading accessible, inspiring, and fun. Together, we work in a dynamic environment, always aiming to ignite a passion for books and storytelling among our users.
