Junior Marketing Coordinator - Belgium

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 CorpTM – committed to making long-term positive change for our community, and the world around us. 🛠️ Commercial Team @ Bloom & Wild Group Our team cares wildly about delivering ambitious and profitable growth across all of our markets and brands. We’re firmly focused on growing profitably, whilst also keeping an eye on the long term commercial view, and our wider business goals, in everything that we do. This may sound like a cliche, but we really are a bunch of fast-thinking problem-solvers. Think Deeply, Act Swiftly really comes into play in our team. Our Slack channels are full of threads of our team coming together to solve a problem, sharing knowledge and resources, and all working together for our shared mission. We know where we’re headed, and we’re all ready to jump in to support each other to get there.

This role is based in our Amsterdam office with an expectation of being in the office 2 - 3 days a week, or more if you prefer. We work very frequently with almost all other functions across the business, so we’re really proud of our ability to collaborate effectively and are always looking for ways to connect and work together; making use of both our virtual tools and our lovely offices. We try to come together as a full team once a year in either London or Amsterdam for a team offsite, and throughout the rest of the year we gather in our respective country teams as frequently as we can. ⚙️ What you'll be doing: Reporting to Sanya, our Head of Commercial for bloomon NL & BE, you'll help drive commercial performance of various online and offline marketing channels for our Belgian market.
