Procurement Team Lead @ Bloom & Wild Group
We don’t just send flowers. We help our customers to care wildly.
At the heart of what we do lies a commitment to enriching life’s little moments—whether through celebration, support, or simply saying that we’re there. This philosophy extends beyond our core offering to deeply encompass the people we work with and the planet we share. As a certified B Corp™, we embed this mindset into every aspect of our mission, cultivating a business where long-term positive impact is central to our growth. Founded in 2013, Bloom & Wild transformed flower delivery into a seamless, joyful experience through technology, brand-building, and doorstep convenience.
In 2021, we secured £75 million in Series D funding and expanded by acquiring bloomon (The Netherlands) and Bergamotte (France). Together, we’ve delivered over 20 million orders, establishing ourselves as Europe’s largest direct-to-consumer flower business. Our journey continues as we broaden our focus beyond flora, evolving into a thoughtful gifting destination for categories such as cakes, candles, and cocktails.
About the Role
You’ll play a pivotal role in our fastest-growing categories—those beyond horticulture. As the Procurement Team Lead, you will cater to everything from fresh-baked goodies and luxury hamper components to home and lifestyle essentials, all anchored by the packaging that ensures our “wow” factor lands seamlessly with customers. The team operates across two key pillars: Strategic Procurement and Stock Planning.
This is a chance to shape a foundational procurement function from the ground up. Reporting directly to the Head of Procurement & Inventory, your mandate will be to architect scalable operations and ensure operational readiness for our rapid growth. This involves driving perfection in availability, optimising inventory health, and enabling fresh, robust range expansions—all delivered through clear processes that leave no room for surprises.
