About the Role
We're looking for a warm, personable addition to our team — someone who lights up a room and makes every guest feel like they've stumbled into their favorite neighborhood spot. This is a charming, hands-on role perfect for someone who loves people as much as they love beautiful things, and who's excited to grow their floral skills.

- Take floral orders in person and over the phone with a friendly, confident manner
- Construct bouquets and arrangements
- Process incoming flowers (cutting, conditioning, prepping stems for display and design)
- Learn to recognize and correctly name the flowers and greenery we carry
- Develop working knowledge of our full product line — vases, home products, add-on gifts — and speak about them with confidence and enthusiasm
- Keep the shop looking fresh, tidy, and inviting throughout the day
- Support daily shop operations as needed (restocking, light cleaning, receiving deliveries)
What We're Looking For
- Prior experience in floral, customer service, hospitality, or retail
- A naturally friendly, upbeat demeanor and genuine enjoyment of working with the public
- Comfort multitasking in a fast-paced, detail-oriented environment
- Reliability, punctuality, and a strong sense of ownership over your work
- Willingness to learn floral fundamentals on the job
- Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 25 lbs (buckets, deliveries, etc.)
Nice to Have (Not Required)
- Experience in flowers, gardening, or design
- Experience in a small business or boutique retail setting

- Affiliated with Darin Jakob Designs: Additional hours may be needed during peak wedding and event seasons
Pay: $15.00 - $17.00 per hour
