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.
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.

- Back to work. It is quiet on the phone so you can turn to whatsapp, helping out and answering questions about flowers, deliveries and add-ons.
- Lunchtime. Mmmh, that smells good. Enjoy some nice sandwiches, salads or soup together with your colleagues.
- Now it is time for you to work on emails and webcare for the Bloom & Wild brand, communicating in English. Flexibility is key here as you are switching between the email and phone channel this afternoon as well as alternating between the brands.

- Now your team lead has planned a quality evaluation with you. Together you are reviewing your performance as well as some emails and calls together. You are getting some valuable feedback on how to improve your productivity and how to handle difficult phone conversations.
- End of your shift. You are waving goodbye to the evening crew who just arrived and will take care of the deliveries tonight, which means keeping in touch with various logistical partners and helping to coordinate the routes for the deliveries. Delivery nights are Wednesday to Friday evenings.

🧭 Our ways of working
We do things a little bit differently. From inventing letterbox flowers to founding The Thoughtful Marketing Movement. We’re big on collaboration, empathy, knowledge sharing and growth, and our values drive our priorities every day:
Lead change for good: we have the guts to try new things and step up to do what matters most
Think deeply, act swiftly: we make sure there’s thoughtful rationale behind our approach and always act swiftly to implement ideas
Care wildly: we pour care and creativity into everything we do and pay attention to the things that make a difference
Stay open, be curious: we’re open about what we’re doing and why, and we welcome challenges from each other
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. Our working patterns are flexible and vary across the business, depending on the type of work, need for collaboration, and personal and wellbeing circumstances.
