IN A NUTSHELL
Bellroy is a high-growth global business on a mission to use business as a force for good. Founded in Australia in 2010 with a range of five wallets, we’ve since grown to a team of 100+ people, shipping environmentally responsible carry goods to over 170 countries. As a certified B Corp, we’re serious about building products that last and getting them into the hands of customers through more than 1,500 retail doorways and our own digital channels. With over 50 new products launched each year, every part of our business plays a role in shaping a more vibrant future.
We’re projecting AUD $2M in EMEA wholesale revenue this financial year, and are in the early stages of onboarding multiple Apple Premium Resellers (APR) over the next 12 months. We already have momentum, we need you to build on it. Reporting to our VP of Global Wholesale (based in the U.S), you’ll focus on developing key accounts, expanding into new regions and working closely with our local agents and distributors.
If you’re looking for ownership of a region, backed by a brand with global traction and purpose at its core, this is the opportunity.

- Want to own a region and be trusted to lead its growth—strategically, commercially, and operationally

- Have experience working for an international brand with global distribution - you know that sometimes connecting before/after normal working hours is necessary
WE’D BE EXCITED IF YOU:
- Have a natural entrepreneurial spirit and have helped scale a premium brand in Europe - you know what it takes to build retailer demand and drive sell through across diverse markets
- Are motivated by purpose-driven brands and want to help scale a company that’s trying to do things better, for people and the planet
