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 the Supply Chain Lead, you will report to the Head of Procurement & Inventory, acting as the architect of our operational procurement function and building the scalable systems we need to grow.
We are a team that "cares wildly" about impact. Working closely with partners across the business, we ensure the infrastructure is in place to support their vision. Our focus is on delivering perfect availability, optimising inventory health, and enabling rapid range expansion through robust operational processes. This is a rare opportunity to help shape a function from the ground up and see your work directly fuel our success as we scale.
⚙️ What you'll be doing:
Build & Scale the Function You’ll be the architect of our non-horticultural stock planning strategy. This is a "build from scratch" opportunity where you will set the vision for how we scale, demonstrating the ability to turn rapid business growth into a sophisticated, high-performing operational machine
Master Stock Availability: You will lead your team to ensure optimal stock levels across all sites, balancing high availability with the need to minimise waste and holding costs. Navigating multi-site space constraints, you’ll work in lockstep with our Warehouse teams and Strategic Procurement Managers to ensure our supply is as efficient as it is reliable.
Develop & Automate: Build scalable, custom, automated supply chain and inventory tools and develop AI workflows to eliminate manual data entry and calculation tasks. You will lead the development of agile, spreadsheet-based solutions while mapping the transition to long-term, robust systems.
Process & KPI Leadership Develop standardised processes and frameworks, leading weekly KPI reviews to shift the function from reactive problem-solving to proactive inventory and risk management. You’ll define what "success" looks like for the department.
Team Transformation & Development Provide oversight, coaching, and mentorship to a team of stock planners, transitioning them from manual execution to analytical decision-making. You will build internal succession and resilience, ensuring the team is equipped to handle increasing complexity.
Strategic Growth & Inventory Control De-risk the launch of new ranges by ensuring our operational infrastructure is mature enough to handle increased SKU counts. You'll collaborate with the commercial team to ensure right-size inventory levels to protect availability, de-risk peak periods, and release trapped cash, while developing third-party relationships (charities/discounters) to manage excess stock.
Operational Execution: Support with planning and execution when needed to ensure continuity (especially when issues occur or in peak times)
3PW Performance Management: Measure and manage performance of our 3PW partner against agreed SLA terms
Supplier Performance: Build internal operational performance reporting and supplier tiering, put in place initiatives to improve operational supplier performance.
