Careers at Bellroy
Production and Supply Coordinator

IN A NUTSHELL

Bellroy is a fast-growing global brand, with warehouses, stockists and customers all over the world. Launched with a range of six wallets 12 years ago, we now release about 50 new products a year (give or take). Our Production team is in charge of supply and planning, and are key to getting all of these products (and those yet to come) out into the world and into the hands of our customers. We’re currently on the search for a Production and Supply Coordinator to maintain the flow of product that enables everything else we do. Sound interesting? Keep reading!

As our Production and Supply Coordinator, you’ll be working closely with our suppliers, courier services and freight forwarders – juggling them all (often at once) to keep everything moving along as it should. You’ll need to be able to make production plans, set delivery timelines, be highly aware of any potential issues or delays before they happen and communicate effectively to help others - external and internal - stay on course. You’ll be responsible for keeping tabs on factory output and stock levels, as well as external logistics including the shipping of raw material, finished goods and samples. That’s a lot of movement to track, so naturally, you’d be highly organised, meticulous and able to get sh*t done quickly, calmly and methodically (at least 90% of the time – because nobody’s perfect).

None of that scares you away, because you have some experience and a few processes up your sleeve, to know how to handle it. But while your organization, communication and spreadsheet skills are tight, you’d walk in here ready and super keen to learn way more. We’re all about learning, so you’ll fit right in here.

THERE ARE SOME QUALITIES YOU MUST POSSESS

  • 1-3 years experience in supply chain - logistics, purchasing, supplier management (we would also consider equivalent educational experience)
  • Experience handling international shipments (ocean and air) and working with overseas suppliers is desirable (but not essential)
  • Excellent communication and relationship management skills
  • Ability to negotiate with suppliers and carriers/ freight forwarders
  • Good understanding of production and distribution
  • The ability to develop processes and continuously improve them
  • Strong organization and analytical skills, with great attention to detail (Intermediate to advanced knowledge of Excel/ Google Sheets )
  • Proven ability to work independently under minimum supervision The desire to work collaboratively in a team within a fast-paced, agile environment

IF YOU WERE HERE LAST WEEK, YOU MIGHT HAVE…

  • Worked with our Supply Planner to understand the required orders, and generated purchase orders for them
  • Communicated the weekly and monthly plan with our suppliers and made agreements with them on delivery timelines – then monitored their output to make sure they were on track
  • Collaborated with manager/ independently develop efficient shipment plans and communicated shipment plans to suppliers

我們的使命

啟發更好的攜帶方式。
善用商業力量。
令世界,以及我們的團隊更加繁榮。

Our Spaces

'Bellroy' is a fusion of our two homes – Bells Beach and Fitzroy. Bells Beach brings a relaxed, outdoor vibe to balance Fitzroy's creative, urban style. The city and the sea; inspiration and adventure. Together they provide a perfect balance.

Bells Beach

Our beach HQ sits behind giant sandstone cliffs that overlook one of Australia’s best-known surfing coastlines. It’s where our Product Designers experiment in the Maker Lab, and our Sales team consume awesome amounts of espresso and Skype bandwidth. Things are more tranquil here than our Fitzroy neighbours and we like the focus that can create. There’s a cafe right next door if you need a quick bite and our 11am surf check always provides the perfect chance to reset the mind with some salt air.

Fitzroy

Our Fitzroy space is immersed in the middle of Melbourne’s creative hub. It’s where our Creative, Marketing, Engineering and Operations teams develop campaigns and ensure each Bellroy is sent safely across the world. Walk out the door and you’ll find streets bursting with energy (and the best ramen joint this side of Tokyo). There’s also an olympic-size pool just around the corner for those in need of a lunchtime refresh.

Remotely

Outside of our two main headquarters we have a team that works remotely - from Western Australia to parts of Asia, the USA and Europe. Being global is at the heart of Bellroy, it keeps us connected, and makes sure we see life from many different perspectives. If you have an internet connection and the flexibility to become part of a team you don’t see everyday, you might consider joining our growing global network.
