IN A NUTSHELL

At Bellroy, we put our heart, soul and countless design hours into helping the world carry better. Our products are sold in over 1,200 retailers across 20+ countries, and ensuring our brand and products are presented in their best light is key to making our mission a success.

We’re searching for a Retail Experience Lead, to help us do this on a global scale.

Bring us your understanding of retail environments, ability to enhance our visual merchandising on the floor and willingness to roll-up your sleeves to get things done. In return, we’ll provide you with world-class partners to work with, great colleagues with whom you can bounce off ideas and exciting projects to bring to life.
