Careers at Bellroy
Business Analyst (Margin & Pricing)

IN A NUTSHELL

Bellroy is a growing global company with 12+ years of success. We have expanded our reach to 172 countries, serving over 1,200 retail locations and releasing about 50 new products a year. Resilience is deeply ingrained in the fabric of our business, as we embrace the challenges of a dynamic global economy marked by constrained supply chains, rising costs, and fluctuating currencies. We are seeking a skilled business analyst, specialising in margin and pricing analysis, to dig into our data and refine and adapt our margin-management processes to drive sustainable growth.

You will play a vital role in transforming the source data into accessible, usable and actionable information that directly bolster the business's decision-making process. Collaborating cross-functionally throughout the organisation, you will enhance our understanding and optimisation of pricing and margins. By examining the drivers influencing our costs and establishing forecasts and performance metrics, you will facilitate the margin-monitoring function across all revenue channels. You will contribute to shaping our pricing strategy and oversee its implementation, ensuring suitable pricing for our extensive product range and global marketplaces in 18 currencies.

We’re really after someone who is fascinated by the applied side of business analysis. You’re someone who really wants data to be used to make a difference in the world, and you want to be at the heart of making that happen. If you bring your clear-thinking mind, and focus on practical applications of data to help us, our world-class team will give you the freedom, resources and support you need to make a difference.

YOU COULD BE THE ONE IF YOU HAVE...

  • 4-8 years of experience working with large sets of data, including sourcing data from different systems, pulling it together and drawing practical insights out of it.
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills with both technical and non-technical individuals.
  • Advanced skills in spreadsheet modelling and data visualisation using BI tools.
  • Proficiency in writing SQL queries and ability to think about data flows: given some messy source data, you can find a clean normalised form.
  • An interest in the commercial aspects of a business like Bellroy (for example, understanding what drives gross profit).
  • A knack for seeing which insights and pieces of information are the important ones for decision making, and an interest in designing reports that focus on the most important pieces while giving enough context to let people dive deeper if they want to.
  • The desire to get your hands a bit dirty, you want to be involved in the implementation of the process you create so you can understand what is working and what you can do better next time.
  • An interest in programming (you don’t have to be a data scientist, a programmer or a statistician, but you probably have dabbled a bit in this area).

IF YOU WERE HERE LAST MONTH YOU MIGHT HAVE...

  • Analysed our supply chain costs to understand how they differ by product type and country; understand how this is impacting our landed cost & in turn our margins in each marketplace then presented your findings to our Finance Manager
  • Identified key margin performance metrics and developed a BI dashboard that helps you visualise and track their performance
  • Kicked off a project to reengineer our existing pricing process and data flows. As a first step, used SQL to explore raw datasets across a multitude of variables related to our pricing methodology.
  • Completed a pricing review after recent foreign exchange rate volatility, rolled out the updates across relevant systems and provided key stakeholders with a report that outlines the changes.
  • Improved the spreadsheet model used to calculate regional prices for a new product range to make it more robust and scalable; then shared and discussed the proposed prices with regional managers
  • Spent time with our wholesale team understanding our discount and markup rates to make recommendations to improve our profitability while maintaining healthy sales growth
  • Discussed logistics costing with our Logistics and Sales Operations Manager and built a dashboard to monitor costs by provider
  • Spoken with our Chief Production Officer to understand what is driving costs within manufacturing to see how we can optimise this space further
  • Advised our CFO on pricing updates in one of our growing marketplaces

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).

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.
