IN A NUTSHELL

At Bellroy, we’re on a mission to help the world carry better and use business as a force for good. We create products designed to improve everyday life, always seeking better ways to do things. Whether it’s responsibly sourcing materials, reducing environmental impact, or ensuring our products are built to last.

Partnerships with like-minded brands and individuals are essential to amplifying our reach, telling our story, and building meaningful connections with wider audiences. We’ve collaborated with partners like Qantas, Field Notes, Patty Mills, and MAAP and now we’re looking for a Partnerships Specialist to take this work even further. From local initiatives to global collaborations, you’ll lead projects that introduce Bellroy to new audiences, growing our customer base and influence globally. This role isn’t about sliding into an established system. You’ll have the chance to refine and shape our emerging approach to partnerships from the ground up.

As a key member of our Endorsement Team, you’ll help shape our approach to partnerships - focusing on relationships that embody our values and deliver long-term, meaningful results. You’ll play a pivotal role in expanding Bellroy’s reach and impact, driving brand awareness and equity through high-quality collaborations. Bring us your commercial mind, creative outlook, and excellent communication skills, and we’ll provide a world-class team, a brand to be proud of, and the opportunity to do impactful work.

YOU COULD BE THE ONE IF YOU…

• Have 2-5 years of experience within this space, specifically within brand partnerships, marketing communications, PR or sponsorships (holding a relevant degree in business admin/ marketing/ communications is a plus)
• Are familiar with CRM databases (e.g., Copper), project management tools (e.g., Asana), presentation design software (e.g., Canva, Google Slides), and Google Suite, particularly Google Sheets/Excel for pulling insights on partnership sales performance and opportunity sizing

• Are practical yet curious, with a knack for understanding business trends and consumer behaviour

IF YOU WERE HERE LAST WEEK YOU MIGHT HAVE…

• Spotted an improvement opportunity within our partnership evaluation process and eagerly shared your actionable insights with your manager
