Senior Florist (12 Month FTC, 3 days per week)
Bloom & Wild Group
<div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Hi, we’re Bloom & Wild. We don’t just send flowers. We help our customers to care wildly. Caring wildly is celebrating the little things we all do for each other every day. Not just the big occasions. It’s being there for the highs. Stepping up for the lows.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">We care wildly about people and our planet. Which is why we’re so proud to be a certified B Corp™ – committed to making long-term positive change for our community, and the world around us.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Founded in 2013, our mission back then was to make sending and receiving flowers the joy that it should be, by harnessing technology, brand and letterbox delivery. We announced £75 million Series D funding in 2021 and that same year acquired bloomon in The Netherlands and Bergamotte in France. Together, we’ve fulfilled and delivered over 20 million orders (and counting!), making us the largest direct to consumer flower business in Europe.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Now home to a family of 3 beautiful brands, we’re driven by our vision to create the destination for making life a little more thoughtful and beautiful. And we won't stop at flowers and plants. Starting with the Bloom & Wild brand, we're expanding our gifting offering to other categories like cakes, candles and cocktails. This is all part of our ambition to build Europe's #1 direct to consumer gifting destination. </span></div> <div> </div> <div><strong style="font-size: 10pt;">🛠️ </strong><strong style="font-size: 18px;">Range Team @ Bloom & Wild Group</strong></div> <div>We're responsible for concepting, developing and launching our beautiful product ranges for all markets and platforms.
