Arbetsbeskrivning

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 the hunt for a Business Controller, someone who shares our passion for making the world a happier place by enriching lives through the joy of reading. As part of our team, you’ll help us make smarter, data-driven decisions that support our mission and fuel our growth. Join our extraordinary team, and together, let’s craft a future where each day unfolds like a chapter of discovery and every book unlocks a richer life.
