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.
🛠️ Customer Delight Team @ Bloom & Wild GroupWith the same care we are watering our flowers and arranging our beautiful bouquets, we are looking after our customers and helping them out.
- Do you love to be in contact with people, take problems seriously, and strive for solutions? - Do you have a friendly personality and like to make people happy? - Are you proactive and like to work in a dynamic environment?
Join our Customer Delight Team as a Customer Delight Associate and bring joy to customers' days with every interaction!
In this role, you'll focus on supporting both our bloomon and Bloom & Wild brands (can be London or Amsterdam based), delivering exceptional service that leaves a lasting impression. As a part of both the Dutch and UK teams you'll handle requests from both Dutch-speaking and English-speaking customers, requiring flexibility and adaptability to meet diverse needs. In this role, you will be responsible for our Dutch and British customers via email, whatsapp and phone. From time to time we will also ask you to jump into our German email queues (you can answer in English or Dutch, we are working with a great translation tool).
You will also be responsible for coordinating Dutch deliveries in the Netherlands and you will be in contact with logistics partners to provide our customers with up-to-date information. It is essential that you can think in a solution-oriented way and are able to act independently. For this position, it is also a must that you are empathetic and can put yourself in our customers' shoes. You will carry out varied work and be given a lot of responsibility straight away.
We are a hybrid team working across the UK, Netherlands and Germany and take time to regularly connect remotely and in person.
⚙️ What you'll be doing:
- A typical day sees you actively engaging with customers through various channels in Zendesk, working to resolve their issues, communicating with colleagues on Slack for support, and completing associated admin duties.
- You’ll also spend part of your week attending company and team meetings, sharing feedback with colleagues, and spending time with your manager evaluating your performance and working on growth opportunities within your role.
- Working hours for this role will be with shifts between 09:00 and 22:30 Monday-Sunday and may change when required to match the business needs. This also includes bank holidays. Flexibility is required for this role.
- We expect you to work at least one evening shift per week (delivery nights are Wednesday - Friday) and in a pattern across weekends too.
✅ You’ll love this role if you…
- Strong verbal communication and writing skills in Dutch (fluent) as well as English as you will work to support customers in both languages
- A background in a customer service-oriented position is a plus.
- Comfortable working towards quality and productivity targets
- A solution-oriented and friendly attitude as well as a kind nature.
- Proactive and definite ‘can do’ attitude.
These are some of the skills and experience we think will enable success in this role, but please don’t worry if you are missing some of these. We’re committed to building a team made up of different strengths, skills and experiences, so if you’re excited about our values, passionate about what you do and would like to join us in doing things more thoughtfully, we’d love to hear from you.

Lead change for good: we have the guts to try new things and step up to do what matters mostThink 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 differenceStay 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.
