Job Application for International Freight Coordinator at Bellroy

IN A NUTSHELL

Since we launched with a range of six wallets in 2010, we’ve grown significantly and now release about 50 new products a year (give or take). Our Production team is in charge of ensuring all of these products (and those yet to come) are manufactured on time, in the right quantity and to up to standard.

As our International Freight Coordinator, you’ll be the connector who keeps our global supply chain flowing. You’ll manage international shipments end-to-end, partner with freight forwarders and couriers, and ensure our products get where they need to be.

You’ll also be the first to spot (and solve) logistical issues, keep a close eye on lead times and costs, and look for ways to make our freight processes smarter, faster, and more efficient. It’s a role where your expertise won’t just keep us moving — it will help shape how we move in the future.

Bring us your eagerness to learn, organisational skills, and proactive communication style. In return, we’ll offer an inclusive team and the support you need to advance your skills further.

What is your salary expectation for this role?

As the popularity of LLMs such as ChatGPT increases, we are seeing more applications that are clearly generated by these tools. We look at your application as a whole to gain a sense of who you are, how you think and how you might approach the role you are applying for. You are welcome to use any tools you would usually use in your daily work (including LLMs).

Imagine you’re working in this role and handling a critical shipment of a new product scheduled for release on October 7th. Due to a material delay, the exit date has been pushed to August 14th. In addition to the production delay, ongoing congestion at the Singapore (SIN) port is posing significant difficulties in meeting the release date, potentially resulting in a loss of sales. You are required to develop a plan to mitigate/ minimise the delay to ensure products are available by the release date. What additional data or resources would you need to accurately assess the potential delays and develop an alternative plan? For each, make a brief summary of why you need it and how you would use it.

For the situation above, what would be your communication and coordination strategy when handling multiple stakeholders including suppliers, freight forwarders & internal stakeholders?
