Job description

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.

⚙️ What you’ll be doing:

As a logistics team we are responsible for last mile delivery, getting parcels from the warehouse to customers’ front doors. We are operating in 7 markets across Europe, managing more than 10 carriers, like DPD, PostNL or DHL and ensuring that thousands of deliveries are completed on time every day.

In Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark, one of our key differentiators is our ‘dedicated’ delivery service; a network of external partners, including regional van and bike couriers, who employ Bloomon-trained drivers to deliver bouquets to customers.

We’re looking for a Senior Last Mile Logistics Coordinator to join our Logistics team, with a primary focus on the daily operations and performance of our ‘dedicated’ delivery fleet in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark. The role will also manage transport between warehouses and provide support delivery operations in Germany.

Next to our logistics team and external partners, in this role you will work closely with our Warehouse and Customer Delight teams, helping us drive operational excellence and improve the customer experience.

***Please note that this role requires fluent Dutch skills.

⚙️ What you’ll do:

• Act as a point of contact for our logistics partners in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark
• Take ownership of partner forecasting and route planning, ensuring all deliveries are completed on time and without any issues
• Support continuous improvements in routing to reduce delivery costs
• Collaborate with our Customer Delight Team to continuously improve processes and customer experience
• Managing shipping setup in our internal backend system to optimise delivery setup based on recent data, schedule bank holidays, and coordinate peaks
• Support on trials of new activities, including running experiments and measuring impact, in collaboration with our BI and Commercial teams
• Support delivery operations in Germany, acting as primary contact on Thursday and Friday, when our Germany Logistics Manager is out of office
• Manage transports between our warehouses in the Netherlands, France, and UK, Organise special deliveries for events and campaigns.

✅ You’ll love this role if you…

• Ideally have at least 2+ years of experience in a similar Operations or Customer Service role, preferably at another high-growth start-up
• Strong communicator, confident working with external partners and internal teams
• You’re comfortable using Google Sheets, with an understanding of basic formulas, and have an interest in developing this skill further
• Adaptable and comfortable shifting focus quickly, you stay effective even if priorities change in a fast-paced environment
• You have a sharp eye for detail and take pride in doing things right
• Must have: Fluent Dutch and English language skills
• Please note that the role requires at least 3 days onsite (1 day at the Amstelveen warehouse: Meerlandenweg 40)

Nice to have:

• Experience building more advanced Google Sheets and working confidently with data
• Curiosity for experimenting with new tools, systems or AI
• Experience in running or contributing to improvement projects
• German language skills

Belonging at Bloom & Wild Group

We know that we learn through our differences, and building a diverse team has always been central to creating the best experience for our customers. We value all backgrounds, perspectives, ideas and experiences, and encourage everyone to share their opinions openly within our caring and inclusive team.

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.

(Some of) The good stuff

To care wildly for our customers, firstly we care wildly for our teams. We work hard to craft a culture of thoughtfulness and care, where there is a strong sense of inclusion and belonging, enabling all of our people to thrive and be successful each day.

• 24 vacation days and an option to buy an extra 5 each year
• Happiness days (1 extra day each quarter for your personal ‘me time’)
• 1 celebration day per year, to celebrate a holiday that’s important to you
• Flexible bank holidays - trade a bank holiday for another day that fits your beliefs, values and celebration calendar
