OperationsProcurement ManagerSupply Chain ManagerProcurement & Purchasing

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.

🛠️ Procurement Team @ Bloom & Wild Group

You’ll be joining the engine room of Bloom & Wild’s fastest-growing categories. While we are known for our flowers, our Procurement team provides the operational and supply chain foundation for our non-horticultural range. From fresh-baked treats and luxury hamper components to home, lifestyle, and the essential packaging that delivers the "wow" moment.

Our team is divided into two clear pillars: Strategic Procurement and Stock Planning. As a Procurement Manager, you will provide the critical firepower needed to grow and optimise our range quickly. You will proactively own the execution of sourcing new SKUs, supplier benchmarking, and contract negotiations. Setting up the products you own for commercial and operational success.

Are a Detail-Oriented Onboarder: You have a high bar for quality and a great deal of care, ensuring that every new SKU is operationally ready before it hits our warehouse.

Are a Self-Sufficient Problem Solver: You rarely make the same mistake twice and can identify potential problems with requirements up-front to keep the project moving.
