IN A NUTSHELL

We’re a high-growth global business, leading the way in product innovation and retail strategy. Founded in Australia, we sold our first wallet in 2010 and have since grown to over 100 staff, selling through more than 1,500 doorways and directly to customers in 150 countries.

We select our materials based on a balance of functionality, durability and their ability to age gracefully. We are also committed to making them environmentally sustainable – using fabrics made from recycled and plant-derived materials, and sourcing leathers with the least environmental impact.

We’re looking for a Customer Support Director to build on our strong foundations and ensure our support function scales with the business. You’ll refine and enhance what’s already working while introducing evidence-based strategies that help us improve customer experience, strengthen retention, and contribute to sustainable growth.

IT TAKES A CERTAIN KIND OF LEADER…

• You’re strategic, adaptable, and challenge the status quo when the evidence says there’s a better way. You don’t just follow industry benchmarks—you dig into the data, translate insights into action, and connect customer experience to business impact.
• You know how to scale smartly, ensuring support remains a strategic function, not just a service. You’ve built scalable systems and balanced exceptional service with commercial results.
• You have experience managing teams, transforming support functions, and operating in a multichannel, global business.
• AI and automation? You see them as enhancers, not replacements. You have experience using technology to automate and streamline processes while keeping human interactions at the core. (Knowledge of AI tools and implementation experience would be a bonus.)
• You excel at breaking down silos, ensuring customer insights shape product, marketing, and operations. You’ve facilitated a bi-directional flow of insights between customer support and the broader business, ensuring the CS team has the right information to support customers effectively while leveraging customer insights to inform strategy.
• Beyond delivering great customer experiences, you thrive on developing and empowering teams. You coach, mentor, and foster an environment where people grow, equipping them with the skills and confidence to handle complex customer interactions with clarity and care.

If you’re looking for a status quo customer service role, this isn’t it. But if you’re ready to lead with strategy, insight, and impact, we’d love to hear from you.

IF YOU WERE HERE LAST WEEK, YOU MIGHT HAVE…

• Led a workshop with senior leadership on translating customer feedback into product improvements.
• Analysed customer interaction data to identify opportunities for improving first-contact resolution rates.
• Developed a strategic roadmap for integrating AI solutions into our current Freshdesk environment.
• Collaborated with marketing on turning customer insights into compelling brand stories.
• Mentored team leaders on balancing policy adherence with customer-first decision-making.
• Presented a business case for new technologies to streamline back-office operations.
• Designed metrics that better connect customer support performance to commercial outcomes.
• Created a framework for identifying and nurturing our most valuable customer relationships.
