IN A NUTSHELL…

At Bellroy, we’re committed to being a force for good, creating products that are as sustainable as they are durable.

We’re seeking a Materials Compliance Officer with sharp attention to detail, deep knowledge of material regulations, and the drive to help us keep pace with global compliance expectations. You will help manage risk, lead rigorous testing programs, and ensure our materials and processes meet top regulatory standards — playing a vital role in making sure our products are safe, responsible, and future-proof.
