bloomon is turning the flower industry on its head – for the better. How? By disrupting the traditional supply chain! We skip the auction and wholesale, to shorten the journey for our flowers. And we harness technology, brand and innovation to deliver gifts and subscriptions that delight our customers across Europe.
We launched in Amsterdam in 2014, and in 2021 joined forces with Bloom & Wild, the UK's fastest growing ecommerce company (according to the Financial Times). Our group is backed by top tier investors and is now home to a family of 3 strong brands, Bloom & Wild, bloomon and Bergamotte. Together, we’ve delivered over 20 million orders (and counting!), making us the largest direct to consumer flower business in Europe.
Our vision is 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.
🛠️ Operations team at Bloom & Wild
Our warehouse operations team is dedicated to crafting exquisite bouquets daily, with the ultimate goal of delighting our customers. This encapsulates the mission of the Styling & Quality (S&Q) Team at bloomon. We specialize in transforming our designers' visions into tangible, ship-ready bouquets. Our ongoing challenge is to uphold the highest standards of flower quality throughout every stage of production.
How do we achieve this? We work with a close-knit team of about 8-10 people, consisting of Stylists, Production Stylists and Quality Controllers. Production stylists ensure the design and flower quality are preserved during production, Quality controllers check and provide feedback to buyers on the incoming flower quality. The S&Q team is known for being hands-on, passionate, and sometimes a bit headstrong to ensure the customer comes first in our operational processes.
⚙️ What you'll be doing:
- Monitoring the design & quality of the bouquets during the production
- Ensuring that every bouquet meets the quality requirements of bloomon. This includes physical checks during each design production; damage and breakage checks, length of stems, all stems complete, green zone clean
- Removing below-bar quality bouquets from dispatch, and notifying the Production Stylists
- Log any findings to ensure improvements can be made
- Collaborating closely with Production Stylists to clearly articulate necessary adjustments, ensuring they are equipped to effectively coach line members on implementation
- Conducting morning check-ins with the team to assess the day's priorities and holding debrief sessions after the shift for open discussions and reflections
- Bouquet inspection may entail the need for bouquet refinement and stem realignment at the end of the production line.

🧭 Our ways of working
We really believe in the power of face-to-face connections - be that through a shared project, a learning and development opportunity, or an after work social - and trust our teams to make the right decisions (for them and us) about where and how they work each day.
