Careers at Bellroy
Sales Manager - Asia

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 including Seager Inc. and Bluebell Group and are looking for a Sales Manager to help nurture our current distributors and grow new accounts to the next level during our next growth phase. Could it be you?

You could be the one if you have

Have 5-10 years' sales experience working for a brand (ideally lifestyle or fashion) wholesaling its line through international distributors and key retailers across Asia. You 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 Asia - you might have lived there, worked there, or at least spent a decent amount of time there. You're aware of cultural differences 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 Asia 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.

LA NOSTRA MISSIONE

Creare modi migliori per portare con sé gli oggetti.
Usare il business a scopo di bene.
Aiutare il mondo e il nostro team a progredire.

I nostri spazi

Bellroy è una fusione delle nostre due case - Bells Beach e Fitzroy. Bells Beach contribuisce con la sua atmosfera rilassata della vita all'aperto, per bilanciare lo stile urbano e creativo di Fitzroy. La città e il mare; ispirazione e avventura. Insieme creano un equilibrio perfetto.

Bells Beach

La nostra sede principale sulla spiaggia si trova dietro gigantesche scogliere di arenaria, che si affacciano su una delle coste australiane più famose per il surf. È qui che i nostri Product Designer fanno le prove nel Maker Lab e il nostro team di vendita consuma quantità impressionanti di caffè e traffico internet su Skype. Qui siamo più tranquilli rispetto ai nostri vicini a Fitzroy e ci piace la concentrazione che si viene a creare. Se hai bisogno di un boccone c'è un bar proprio qui accanto e alle 11:00 controlliamo sempre se ci sono le condizioni per fare surf, l'occasione perfetta per rinfrescare la mente con un po' di aria salina.

Fitzroy

I nostri locali di Fitzroy sono immersi nel cuore del centro creativo di Melbourne. È qui che i nostri team di creazione, di marketing, di ingegneria e di gestione operativa sviluppano campagne e si assicurano che ogni Bellroy venga spedito in modo sicuro in tutto il mondo. Appena fuori dalla porta troverai strade che scoppiano di energia (e il miglior negozio di ramen fuori da Tokyo). C'è anche una piscina olimpionica proprio dietro l'angolo, per chi ha bisogno di rinfrescarsi a mezzogiorno.

Da remoto

Al di fuori delle due nostre sedi principali, abbiamo una squadra che lavora a distanza - dall'Australia occidentale a parti dell'Asia, degli USA e dell'Europa. Essere globale è un caposaldo in Bellroy, ci tiene connessi e ci permette di vedere la vita da molte prospettive diverse. Se sei dotato di una connessione a Internet e della flessibilità di diventare parte di un team che non vedi tutti i giorni, potresti valutare di unirti alla nostra rete globale costantemente in crescita.
