What are the responsibilities and job description for the Retail Associate - Flower Shop position at Chevy Chase Florist?
Chevy Chase Florist is seeking a part time retail associate. We are a long established, high-end shop specializing in bespoke floral arrangements for all occasions, events, and corporate subscriptions. We are looking for a new team member to bring a positive attitude and a fresh, unique perspective in floral retail and events. For novices considering floristry as a profession, this is also a wonderful opportunity to gain experience in the basics of design.
Qualified candidates should meet the following criteria:
- Retail sales/customer service experience - Candidates with experience in the floral industry are a plus, but we are willing to train the right candidate with excellent customer service skills. Candidates must be comfortable working with clients via phone and email.
- Working knowledge of Windows-based systems and basic computer skills - point-of-sale is a web-based platform, and much internal/external communication is done via email. A penchant for social media is a plus.
- Excellent interpersonal skills - All employees are expected to work as a team, and each have a strong command of customer service.
- Versatility, and willingness to learn and get your hands dirty - While this position is heavily focused in retails sales and customer service, team members are asked to perform tasks that are outside what would be considered typical sales responsibilities. These tasks range from processing flowers, helping set up events, to throwing together a bouquet to-go - we ask that you be flexible and open minded! Minor lifting required.
- Availability - This is a part time position (typically 16-24 hrs per week), with flex scheduling and potential for more hours during peak holiday and event seasons. Candidates must be available to work 1-2 Saturdays per month, and must be available for floral holidays (the days leading into Thanksgiving and Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Mother's Day).
Interested candidates, please send along a resume outlining your experience.
Thank you for your interest, we look forward to meeting you!
