Working alongside a passionate team of writers, art directors, designers, photographers and producers to showcase the Bellroy brand to millions of eyes across the world.</p> <p>You’ll take the reins on our video production across a variety of formats, from polished television commercials to short films to scroll-stopping social reels.

Adept at switching between long and short form edits, colour grading, sound mixing and mastering, motion design and outputting for multiple platforms.</p> <p>You crave being part of a broader team; working with writers on ad scripts, designers on motion titles, or photographers to sync on a colour treatment.
