Hong Kong, Central and Western District, Hong Kong SAR China LOJEL Full time

WHO WE ARE
Let Our Journeys Enrich Life
Carry essentials exist to make movement a worry-free experience, allowing us to focus on the bigger picture of our journeys. Today's industry brands are exhibiting a growing disconnection from the deeper purpose of movement, seen in standard-fare products that neither challenge norms nor present new solutions that facilitate better mobility.
LOJEL is about refocusing on how people move, but more importantly, why: connection. Putting the purpose of our journeys at the forefront of the discussion opens up opportunities for innovation. This process of discovery is what lets us empower people to move better and focus on what truly matters.
Our mission is to spark the human connections that make the world a better place—by empowering people's journeys with thoughtful carry essentials for travel and everyday movement. We are Driven By Diversity, Intentional By Design and Purposely Positive—core values upholding our ultimate goal to inspire movement within communities and across the globe.
LOJEL is an international carry essentials brand—founded in Japan in 1989, currently headquartered in Hong Kong with teams in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific—and is sold in 15 territories across the globe.

SUSTAINABILITY AT LOJEL
At LOJEL, we're committed to driving positive change. We recognize the challenges our world faces, particularly with the looming climate crisis. The future is uncertain, and as a forward-thinking brand, we're dedicated to taking action.
Sustainability is at the core of our mission. By 2026, we aim to achieve B Corp certification, becoming climate neutral, and ensuring that 50% of our products are crafted from recycled or sustainable materials. To achieve these goals, we're building a team that's ready to take on this challenge head-on. Join us in making a meaningful impact on our planet while embracing a rewarding career at LOJEL.
