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.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.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.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. Today we are hiring to strengthen our UK division in our UK innovation center in Nuneaton. 🛠️ Team The Operations team at Bloom & Wild is split broadly into three sub-teams, although in practice these sub-teams all work very closely together : Flower sourcing, styling and quality - this team is responsible for purchasing our fresh products like flowers and plants, mainly through direct collaboration with growers around the world. They also manage our inbound supply chain and work closely with our flower supply chain partners to optimise for quality and costs. Within our own and 3rd party warehouses they monitor and optimise for styling and quality.  Warehouse Operations - Across our 3 strong brands we have various warehouses across the EU. The teams based at these sites run our daily production and fulfilment operation of all products we sell. The non-horti procurement of addons and packaging items is also part of the scope of this team. They optimise for customer satisfaction, On Time-In Full fulfilment, quality and associated COGS.  Logistics & 3rd party fulfilment - managing our partially outsourced sourcing, production and fulfilment in the UK and optimising our delivery organisation in all countries we are active in.

Look into quality issues reported via customer feedback, draw conclusions from these and provide relevant feedback to the team and Head of Quality.  2. Be a key player for UIC innovations (~30% of time) : - You will work closely together with the Head of UIC and with the group’s Head of Quality to drive innovations in the UIC.
