Careers at Bellroy
Production and Quality Assurance Manager

IN A NUTSHELL

Since day one, Bellroy’s reputation for quality has been driven by a customer-centred approach, meticulous attention to detail, and process, process, process. As our range expands and our brand reputation continues to grow, we’re looking for a dedicated Production Manager to lead our production team towards ever-greater capacity and ever-stronger quality control.

A deft manager of people and processes, you’ll put your analytical mindset to work, overseeing and streamlining production – everything from ordering, procurement and manufacturing, to quality assurance and external logistics. You’ve got a plan for (almost) every scenario, and the determination and confidence to navigate through the things you didn’t anticipate.

Calm, practical and rational, you’ll be a go-to collaborator for our manufacturing, testing, and shipping partners worldwide. We manufacture our growing range of carry products in multiple facilities across the globe, some of which we've partnered with for over a decade. You’ll work alongside all partners to ensure our products get out into the world in the right quantities, in the best shape, and into the right hands. All while minimising waste: of mileage, square meterage, or human energy.

Bring us your strategic prowess to unlock new processes, create efficiencies, and ultimately get stuff done better than before. In return, we’ll provide a world-class team to bounce off, everything you need to do your thing, and an award-winning culture that’ll support and celebrate your success. Sound good? Keep reading…

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.

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.
