Careers at Bellroy
Design Manager

IN A NUTSHELL

Are you an art director who wants to create meaningful work, without the constant back and forth of clients? Are you a designer eager to know how your work performs once it makes its way into the world? Are you a leader with a strategic brain who wants to shape campaigns from vision to reality, and bring people along with you? We get it.

At Bellroy, we’re relentless about design and gearing people up to move through the world. We’re a proud B-Corp and using our platform to drive positive impact for people, animals, and the planet has always been core to what we do. Our brand is growing globally and streamlining how we create content to support that is an ever growing need.

Working as part of our full-service in-house creative team (yep, we do it all right here) – you’ll be set up with a world-class environment where you’ll manage designers, photographers, videographers and producers. While being equipped with all the right tools, from a photo studio to retail displays to a maker lab and more.

So if you’re a visually led senior creative who has a passion for innovating new approaches, understanding what works and what doesn’t, while empowering others to grow, this one’s for you.

YOU COULD BE THE ONE IF YOU…

  • Have 7+ years of design experience across a wide variety of applications including web, social, retail, print and packaging
  • Have managed teams of creatives across different disciplines including graphic designers, photographers, videographers or producers.
  • Have a passion for developing people, understanding their strengths and how to shepherd them through the challenging parts
  • Bring a conceptual brain and the ability to create a vision that others want to get behind
  • Have the ability to direct photoshoots both in studio and location, overseeing pre-production and planning phases to on-the-day direction of photographers, videographers, stylists and talent.
  • Possess a keen interest in measuring creative performance – understanding what works and why. You are comfortable interpreting data and able to glean patterns that help improve the calibration of the wider team
  • Enjoy building a cohesive look and feel across a brand, then documenting those as standards for sharing with other teams
  • Can spot when something isn’t ‘at the level’ and know how to rally others to align and improve it
  • Are a problem-solver who brings a strong systems approach to your work – forever looking for ways to take production-heavy processes and streamline them
  • Have a strong understanding of modern brands, especially those in physical product spaces, whilst being across trends, technology and culture as a whole

IF YOU WERE HERE LAST MONTH, YOU MIGHT HAVE...

  • Set the art direction for an upcoming campaign, ensuring your idea is cohesively woven through each of our audience channels
  • Directed a photoshoot on location for an upcoming release – making sure the team and talent are clear on your creative vision, and have what they need to do to execute it
  • Worked with our Creative Coordinator to improve how we plan capacity or can save production time – be that templates, automation, AI or another tool
  • Collaborated with our ad team to develop a framework for creative testing – building your models of what content performs the strongest while allowing room for a few experimental ideas
  • Sat with one of your five reports to look over a part of their job that is slowing them down, giving them some tips to make progress
  • Ran a brainstorm for an upcoming retail activation, then worked with our instore experience team to make it happen.
  • Worked with a digital designer to improve the brand experience and conversion potential of our Amazon e-store, sharing back what you learned in a Creative Team WIP
  • Used your eye for detail to QA some web designs, emails or packaging that are going heading the door – providing feedback in a constructive way

PSSST. Are you part of a duo? We’re also looking for your copy-based counterpart here.

NUESTRA MISIÓN

Crear soluciones útiles para transportar objetos.
Usar la empresa como una fuerza positiva.
Ayudar a que el mundo y nuestro equipo prosperen.

Nuestras oficinas

Bellroy' es una fusión de nuestras dos casa: Bells Beach y Fitzroy. Bells Beach es el toque relajado y natural que le brinda equilibrio al estilo creativo y urbano de Fitzroy. La ciudad y el mar, la inspiración y la aventura. Juntos logran el equilibrio ideal.

Bells Beach

Nuestra sede en la playa está ubicada detrás de un acantilado que preside una de las costas australianas favoritas de los amantes del surf. Aquí se encuentra el laboratorio de creación en el que experimentan los diseñadores de producto, y nuestro departamento de ventas consume incalculables cantidades de espresso y de banda ancha en Skype. La vida aquí es más tranquila que la de nuestros vecinos urbanos de Fitzroy, y apreciamos el ambiente de concentración que fomenta. Si quieres salir a picar algo, hay una cafetería justo al lado, y nuestro surf break de las 11 am nos ayuda a despejar la mente con la brisa marina.

Fitzroy

Nuestro espacio de Fitzroy está inmerso en medio del centro creativo de Melbourne. Aquí es donde nuestro equipo de marketing, de ingeniería, creativo y de operaciones desarrollan campañas y garantizan que cada Bellroy se envíe de forma segura a todo el mundo. Al salir del espacio, encontrarás calles llenas de energía (y el mejor local de ramen de este lado de Tokio).

A distancia

Fuera de nuestras dos oficinas principales, tenemos a un equipo que trabaja a distancia, desde Australia occidental, Asia, Europa y EE. UU. El carácter global forma parte de la esencia de Bellroy, nos mantiene conectados, y nos permite entender la vida desde diferentes puntos de vista. Si dispones de acceso estable a internet, y de la disposición para formar parte de un equipo al que no verás cara a cara a diario, quizás te gustaría formar parte de nuestro equipo internacional en continuo crecimiento.

Nuestro equipo

Cada quien tiene su fuerte y al sumarlos, alcanzamos nuestros objetivos principales: crear soluciones útiles para transportar objetos, usar la empresa como una fuerza positiva y ayudar a que el mundo y nuestro equipo prosperen.
