Chief Financial Officer

**In a nutshell**
Bellroy is as Australian businesses that has achieved rare success on a global stage. Since we sold our first wallet in 2010, we've grown to over 100 staff, selling through more than 1,000 doorways and directly to consumers online in 150 countries, diversifying into bags, tech and travel accessories in the process. We've demonstrated the capability of delivering multiple product categories, in multiple retail channels, in multiple geographies, giving us the enviable benefit of resilient growth; it also makes life at Bellroy very, very interesting.
As CFO, you'll join a founder-led (though not founder-dominated), world-class executive team, ensuring excellent financial management, and advising and contributing to our strategic expansion into new spaces: product ranges, sales channels and geographies.

**It takes a special kind of human**
You are considered and strategic, yet curious and flexible in your approach. You love the numbers behind a business and enjoy seeing business outcomes represented numerically. You have CFO experience and want to move to a company with an excellent culture, doing interesting and good things in the world. You're excited by an environment where things are always growing and changing, and you'll need to continuously redesign our future systems and oversee the existing ones. Experience in a retail, product, e-commerce or inventory management context is close to essential, but we're open-minded, and you might be able to show that you have the relevant skills despite not having worked in those specific industries.
You're interested in getting the right outcomes and bringing others along with you. Working with smart people with good intentions, getting things done is your happy place. You've worked hard to build your skills, and you care about working with folks who are also excellent at what they do.The Bellroy culture is focused on developing the skills and smarts of all its staff, and you'll see that when you interact with our people.
We need you to bring your knowledge of accounting, finance and strategy to continue our rapid growth and build our systems and approaches to doing business on a global scale that will set us up for years to come. You'll be managing our highly capable finance team, informing our (minority) institutional investors, and we hope you'll be as comfortable getting your hands dirty in the data as you will be thinking strategically with the senior team.
