Floral Warehouse Associate (Temporary Freelance Contract)
https://boards.eu.greenhouse.io/flowerbx/jobs/4085069101
WHO WE ARE
FLOWERBX is the disruptive online start-up that represents a new way to buy and send flowers. We are a direct to consumer flower delivery service that sources highest quality flowers directly from the growers and delivers them to our customers across 21 countries in Europe, and across the East Coast and West Coast of the US.
FLOWERBX Founder and CEO, Whitney Bromberg Hawkings, started the company in 2015 after working for Tom Ford for almost 2 decades. FLOWERBX has since catered to the fashion cognoscenti and tastemakers across all territories, being dubbed recently by the New York Times as “Fashion’s Florist.”
In 2020 we closed a GBP3 million (USD3.8 m) fundraising round with our focus now on accelerating growth and further US expansion. As well as our unique online offering, we also pride ourselves on our bespoke client services; supplying flowers for international luxury companies such as Dior, Louis Vuitton, Jimmy Choo, Vogue and Farfetch (to name a few), with FLOWERBX’s signature style at the essence of each creation.

- We Push Boundaries - We constantly challenge the status quo. We are original thinkers, combining ideas from different worlds, from fashion to business and beyond to create something entirely new. We are always on the lookout for opportunities to go where no one else has gone.
SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL
Sustainability is a core operating principle for FLOWERBX.
