Careers at Bellroy
PR Coordinator

IN A NUTSHELL

We’re on the hunt for a natural people person with strong organisational skills who can help shepherd our community and PR outreach programs. That includes ambassadors, content creators, field testers, press contacts and brand partners. Bellroy exists to inspire better ways to carry, use business as a force for good, and help the world flourish. Engaging unique people and high-relevance communities is key to achieving that brand mission.

That’s where you’d come in. As our PR Coordinator, you’d help facilitate the conversations we’re having with current partners and potentials. You’d direct opportunities to key people across the business. You’d run your calibrated brand filter across opportunities out in the world and bring relevant ideas to the table. And you’d help execute the outcomes. Whether that be by sending some products to press contacts or product reviewers, passing on a message from an ambassador, sharing some common pain points among reviewers with our product teams, researching a brand partner and taking that to the team for their attention, or running kick-offs to get content pieces off the ground.

Reporting to our Brand Communications Director and supporting our Content Partnerships, Endorsement and Creative teams, you would bring an interesting balance of ingenuity, gumption and coordination to the team. You’d gather the breadcrumbs, find the gaps, ask the questions. In return, we’ll give you a world-class team to learn from, the tools to do your thing, and the support you need to flourish.

IS IT YOU?

We’re looking for someone with at least 2-4 years of experience in an account management, coordination or comms/PR role, who can manage conversations, coordinate projects and know how to gather just the right amount of information to enable decision makers to… make decisions. Someone who’s capable of working autonomously, as well as collaboratively (and understand when the time is right for each). Someone who can recognise the difference between a good idea and the right one (for us, specifically). Someone who can think big and small – from recognising a big opportunity in our inbox, to keeping an eye on our ambassadors’ social media accounts in case something interesting pops up there. And someone who is outcome-oriented, execution-motivated and open-minded to boot.

If you’re a quick and keen learner with an energetic spirit and willingness to make things happen, we want to hear from you.

SOME SKILLS YOU MUST POSSESS…

  • Excellent written communication
  • Strong attention to detail, and ability to get. things. done.
  • A knack for getting to the heart of what people need, and responding with clear communication that strikes the right balance of friendly and professional
  • General understanding of marketing, PR and content tools that can help a brand be seen and heard
  • Familiarity with social media platforms and press outlets (both old and new)
  • Strong time-management and self-motivation
  • Ability to facilitate meetings and bring the right people together to make a decision
  • A qualification in PR or communications (or similar)

A WEEK AS THE CONTENT AND COMMUNITY COORDINATOR MIGHT INCLUDE…

  • Pulling an interesting opportunity out of our press enquiries inbox and going deep to figure out the ins and outs of the opportunity, before bringing a summary to the team
  • Creating a list of editors, journalists, ambassadors or YouTube personalities we should send a batch of new products to, and figuring out the best way to do it by the dozen
  • Initiating a discussion with our Brand Communications Director and Content Partnerships Lead regarding the outreach strategy of an upcoming campaign, and walking away with an idea of what the story is and where it might best be seeded
  • Emailing a group of content creators who have agreed to feature Bellroy product in their videos, to coordinate samples, contracts and timelines
  • Organising a retro on some recent field tester activity, sharing the results and capturing the notes for future reference
  • Sharing a roundup of recent coverage, trends and community activity to the wider business.

NOTRE MISSION

Imaginer de meilleurs moyens de transporter vos affaires.
Utiliser notre influence pour la bonne cause.
Aider le monde et notre équipe à s'épanouir.

Nos espaces

'Bellroy' est un mélange de nos origines – Bells Beach et Fitzroy. Bells Beach apporte un côté décontracté alors que Fitzroy apporte un style urbain et créatif. La ville et la mer ; inspiration et aventure. Ensemble, ils créent le parfait équilibre.

Bells Beach

Notre QG à la plage se trouve juste derrière une grande dune de sable qui surplombe les spots de surf les plus réputés d'Australie. C'est là, dans le Maker Lab, que nos Product Designers innovent et que notre équipe commerciale passe la journée sur Skpye en consommant une quantité copieuse de café. L'ambiance est plus tranquille ici que chez nos voisins de Fitzroy et nous aimons nous concentrer sur notre processus créatif. Nous allons au café d’à côté dès que nous avons une petite faim ou que nous voulons espionner les surfeurs. Parfait pour se ressourcer en respirant un peu d'air (salé) frais.

Fitzroy

Notre espace à Fitzroy est immergé au milieu du hub créatif de Melbourne. C'est là que nos équipes créatives, marketing, ingénierie et opérations développent nos campagnes et s'assurent que tous les produits Bellroy sont expédiés à travers le monde sans encombre. Les rues de Fitzroy regorgent d’énergie (et on y trouve le meilleur restaurant de ramen en dehors de Tokyo). La piscine olympique au coin de la rue est également parfaite pour ceux qui ont besoin de se rafraîchir à l'heure du déjeuner.

A distance

En plus de nos deux sièges sociaux nous avons une équipe qui travaille à distance - de l'Australie occidentale à des régions de l'Asie, aux États-Unis, à l'Europe. Être global est au coeur de Bellroy car cela nous maintient connectés et nous permet d'envisager la vie sous plusieurs regards. Si vous disposez d'une connection internet et si vous avez de la flexibilité pour faire partie d'une équipe que vous ne verrez pas tous les jours, vous pouvez envisager de joindre notre grandissante toile globale.

Our team image

Notre équipe

Le succès de Bellroy dépend de la diversité de nos équipes. Nous sommes une belle bande de penseurs et d'artisans venant de plus de 25 pays (pour l'instant). Chacun a des compétences uniques qui sont mises à profit pour réaliser une vision commune - Imaginer de nouveaux moyens de transporter vos essentiels ; utiliser notre entreprise pour influencer le monde de manière positive ; aider la société, et notre équipe, à s'épanouir.
