Job description

Freddie's Flowers was founded by Freddie Garland in October 2014 with one ambition: to change people's relationship with flowers. We believe flowers aren't only for grand occasions, but they make every day special, inspiring creativity and sparking joy.

Our starting point was our direct-to-consumer subscription model, helping us grow a loyal UK following. We launched in Germany in 2020, and then in 2021 we secured significant backing from The Craftory, a like-minded purpose-led global investment house, helping us expand, develop and grow. 2023 saw us start our gifting service - bringing the best of Freddie's Flowers to everyone who needs it (even last minute!).

From the seed of an idea we continue to flourish; we're now a B Corp organisation. And our mission unchanged: to deliver the best, freshest, highest quality flowers - with the least waste.

This role requires you to be in the office a minimum of two days a week.

About The Role:

This is a really exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing company. Freddie's Flowers are looking for friendly, proactive and positive people to join our award-winning customer services team, as we continue to grow! As the first point of contact for our customers, this role is key to keeping our wonderful customers inexplicably happy.

You are the first point of call for our customers. You understand customers, and want to see their issues through to resolution.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Be the first point of contact for our customers, dealing with queries in a friendly and efficient way
• Capture and report customer feedback to improve our service
• Work well within your team and across the department to communicate and collaborate, to ensure the customer is always receiving the best service possible
  
  
  

Requirements

• Excellent interpersonal skills and enjoy working as part of a team

• Able to analyse problems and find positive solutions
• Quick to learn and able to think on your feet
• Ability to handle a busy workload, prioritise and be flexible
• Confidence building rapport with a customer over the phone
• Ability to upsell our flowers and service to retain customers who are considering stopping their accounts
• An interest in flowers and helping people
