Careers at Bellroy
Export Sales Manager

IN A NUTSHELL

Bellroy is a global business (founded in Melbourne, Australia) with a bold growth plan. Since we sold our first wallet in 2011, we’ve diversified into tech products, bags and accessories; we’re now a team of 100+ staff, selling in more than 1000 doorways and directly to consumers in 150 countries globally.

We recognized pretty early on that we could use business as a force for good. So, as a certified B Corp, we constantly pursue better ways to source our leathers, reduce our impact on the environment and make sure our products last as long as possible. We’re proud of the products we make and equally proud of the relationships we build with our retailers based on respect, appreciation for good design and the mutual desire to help customers move through the world with ease.

We’ve been developing our presence within the Asian retail space for a number of years and currently sell through over 250 doorways in the region (and counting). We partner with large distributors in the region and are looking for an Export Sales Manager to help nurture our current distributors, onboard new distributor partners and open new accounts during our next growth phase. Could it be you?

YOU COULD BE THE ONE IF YOU...

Have 3-7 years' sales experience working for a lifestyle or fashion brand, ideally in categories such as accessories, footwear, or cosmetics. You’ve also sold products through international distributors and into key retailers across Asia and have some design geek to go with your sales charm. Often the brilliance of our products needs some explanation, which is fine because you're comfortable doing so in a compelling, well-informed and genuine manner.

You know the Japanese, South Korean and Taiwanese retail markets - you might have lived there, worked there, or at least spent a decent amount of time there. You're aware of cultural nuances and can adjust your communication style to build relationships and make sales. You’re motivated by a challenge, and by delivering exceptional results for a young brand doing awesome things. At Bellroy, we focus on long-term quality relationships with the right businesses (and people), to ensure our common goals are met. If you're looking for a sales management job that's a bit different, you've found it.

Bring us your sales and account management experience, knowledge of the region, grit and organisation skills. In return, we’ll offer a world-class team to learn from, an award-winning culture to be a part of and the support you need to flourish.

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

Nuestra oficina en Fitzroy se encuentra sumergida en medio del hervidero creativo de Melbourne. Aquí es en donde nuestro equipo creativo, de marketing, informático y de operaciones desarrollan las campañas y se aseguran de que cada Bellroy le llegue correctamente a su destinatario. Nada más poner un pie fuera de la oficina te topas con calles llenas de vida (y el mejor ramen fuera de Tokio). También hay una piscina olímpica cerca para los que quieren darse un chapuzón a la hora de comer.

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.
