Sr. Manager, Design

About NJOY: 

NJOY is one of the largest independent electronic nicotine device (ENDS) companies in the U.S. and a leader in the revolution against combustible cigarettes. With a mission to Make Smoking History, adult smokers have trusted the NJOY brand to offer a range of satisfying electronic nicotine products as an alternative to combustible cigarettes since 2007. In April 2022, NJOY made history when the US Food and Drug Administration issued Marketing Granted Orders for NJOY’s ACE Device and Pods, reflecting FDA’s determination that these products are “appropriate for the protection of public health”. With that decision, NJOY became the only company independent of Big Tobacco to receive Marketing Granted Orders for their ENDS products. Exemplary of its commitment to contributing to the improvement of public health, NJOY developed the Standard Research Electronic Cigarette in exclusive partnership with the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) for use in independent, government-funded clinical studies. 

At NJOY, we are adamant that our mission is at the center of everything we do – this includes hiring the right team members to continue to build this History-making company.
