Requirements
The Opportunity
We are seeking a confident, organized, and service-minded Blooming Lead to help guide our retail and office operations.

Most team members work approximately 7-hour workdays (with extended hours during major floral holidays). We value individuals who remain attentive and focused during work hours to best support our customers and one another.

- Ensure an exceptional customer experience
- Support visual presentation and merchandising
- Coordinate order fulfillment and delivery logistics
- Assist with payroll preparation (staff & contract drivers)

What You Bring
- 2+ years retail experience (floral preferred)
- Leadership or key-holder experience
- Strong communication and organizational skills
- Comfort with POS systems and basic office tools
- Ability to stay composed in a fast-paced setting
- Consistent availability, including weekends
- No allergies to floral materials
- A genuine appreciation for flowers and design
Why Join Us
