To think really well our brains needs rest and focus. In balancing our time, energy and attention, we rejuvenate with power naps, mindfulness or even a quick planking challenge.
IN A NUTSHELL
Bellroy is a growing, global business. Since we launched 12+ years ago, we’ve shipped carry goods to 172 countries from warehouses on 4 continents, sold out of 1100 doorways and now release about 50 new products a year (give or take). Resilience is at the heart of our business and in a world where supply chains are constrained, and currencies are volatile, we’re in need of a financial analyst to dig into our financials to help us remodel, adapt and optimise our processes to maximise growth.
You’ll work cross-functionally across the business to better understand and optimise our pricing & margins. You will analyse and understand what’s driving our costs as well as build forecasts and processes to help us monitor our margins by product type, across all of our revenue channels. You’ll also inform our pricing strategy and execution, making sure we price appropriately across all of our product ranges and marketplaces globally.
If you’re searching for a culture where learning is encouraged and get excited by the idea of working in a fast-paced environment, alongside a team of smart people with good intentions, who get shit done, you should probably read on…

- The ability to analyse data to produce useful reports and calibrated recommendations
- Interest in working with other teams to develop processes that better align business decisions
