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 bags, tech accessories and small leather goods. We’re now a team of 100+ staff, selling in more than 1,250 doorways and directly to consumers in 150 countries globally. We’ve got a growing account base in the U.S. which includes Nordstrom, MoMA, L.L. Bean and Moosejaw and we’re searching for an Account Manager to support our team during this exciting time.

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. If this sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, bring us your can-do attitude, people skills and love of organizing. In return we’ll provide you with an excellent work culture, a passionate team and the support to develop your skills.
