Product Designer

Freddie's Flowers; Greater London; On-site; GBP 30,000 - 50,000; Full time

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, certified Carbon Neutral (by the Carbon Trust). And our founding mission remains unchanged - to change the world of flowers, and to change the world with flowers.

Freddie's Flowers have an exciting opportunity for a Mid-weight Product Designer (UX/UI) to join our Product Team. You will be working closely with our Senior Product Designer to help drive the Product Design that our customers use to discover, experience and share the joy of flowers.
