Product Manager
You know that bit where every company says they’re “changing the world”? Yeah, it can feel a little forced. But we like to think our story actually has some realness to it.
Our story begins with Shadi Bitar and Ninos Malki, who came to Sweden from Syria as kids and discovered that books could be a bridge - helping them learn the language, understand the culture, and explore new worlds.
A thought emerged, what if everyone could have that? And just like that, Nextory was born - your all-access pass to read, listen, and discover new perspectives without limits.
And now, we're on a quest to find a Product Manager for our Spark team. The team's mission is to increase reading by serving all users content they will love at the right time and in a delightful way.
Let us tell you about the
role 📖

interesting stage with a lot of existing things to come. As a Product Manager
