Floral Production + Assembly

Luxe Bloom is seeking detailed-oriented and self-motivated individual(s) for freelance work at our luxury rose arrangement production facility. Assembly Staff report to our Creative Director and Production Assistant, and will assist in all aspects of prep within the production process. The role is critical to ensuring that our customers receive the exact arrangement that they ordered and that arrangements are delivered on time without breakage.

We replicate simple designs in large volumes, and will have particularly high volumes of work leading up to the holidays. Expect steady freelance hours (minimum 2 days/week) until December, with the possibility of advancing to a permanent position in the New Year.

  • Strong organizational skills, keen foresight and ability to plan for maximum efficiency
  • Understanding of the expectations of luxury buyers for a high quality product delivered on time and in perfect condition

    • Pull and prep flowers and vases per the sales orders
    • Clean the production area at the close of each work day

    • Ensure each stage of assembly is completed based on our tight time-line and under strict quality standards.
  • Assist the Creative Director, Founder and other team members with ad hoc assignments

Qualifications

  • High school degree.
  • Some training (formal or not) in 3D arts required
  • Knowledge or interest in floral is preferred, but note that this is not a traditional floral design position

  • Strong fine motor skills and attention to detail
  • Ability to lift moderately heavy objects, move quickly, and work on your feet for extended periods
