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.

What you will do

Be a key player in Team Spark, a cross-functional team focused on activating new users as well as making sure all users discover the right content at the right time in our iOS and Android apps.

Own the design process end-to-end — from understanding user needs to prototyping, testing, and delivering high-quality design specs.

Blend craft with impact by making thoughtful design decisions that drive real results, linking your work to user insights and team goals.

Dive into user insights, conducting research and qualitative testing to refine and improve your designs.

Champion a culture of design excellence, pushing UX/UI forward and inspiring those around you.

Collaborate openly, inviting others into your process and valuing different perspectives to create the best possible experiences.

Shape and evolve Nextory’s Design System, ensuring consistency while keeping things fresh and scalable.

Stay curious and ahead of the curve, keeping up with industry trends to make sure our designs remain innovative and competitive.

Who you are

Around 5 years of experience as a product designer, designing and shipping digital products or services.

A strong portfolio showcasing your visual design, interaction, and UX skills.

Proficiency in design tools like Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.

A solid grasp of user-centered design principles and methodologies.

Great communication and collaboration skills—you enjoy sharing ideas and working closely with others.

Fluent in English

A degree in Design or a related field is a plus, but what really matters is your skills and experience.

Bonus skills in content design or motion? Even better!

What else? If you love expressing yourself through gifs in Slack, like to get geeky about icons, or have a passion for kebab, you’ll fit right into our design team.

Think we’re a match? Then we can’t wait to hear from you! Prep a few cases from your portfolio that you think would be convincing for this position, and send them over.

Cheers!
