Product Manager - Range & Logistics

Bloom & Wild is re-inventing the $60B global flower industry. Over a billion flower exchanges take place every year and industry satisfaction levels are low. Driven by our vision of creating the destination for making life a little more thoughtful and beautiful, we do things differently. From inventing letterbox flowers to founding The Thoughtful Marketing Movement. And we’ve seen impressive traction to date - we are Europe’s leading online flower company, and the UK’s fastest growing ecommerce company according to the Financial Times, growing at +100%.

In January 2021 we announced our £75 million Series D funding round, led by General Catalyst (backers of Airbnb and Deliveroo), alongside other top tier investors including Index Ventures (investors in Wise and Glossier). We are home to a family of 3 strong brands, Bloom & Wild, boomon and Bergamotte, having acquired bloomon in April 2021 and Bergamotte in July 2021. Together, we are active in 8 countries. 

We really care about creating a diverse and inclusive team and we welcome people from all backgrounds, with different perspectives, ideas and experiences to work with us. In our team, everyone has the freedom to give their opinion, grow in their career and be part of a genuinely caring and inclusive team.

The role of the product team at Bloom & Wild is to create value for our customers and for Bloom & Wild by developing user-facing (e.g. website, apps) and internal digital products (e.g. warehouse technologies). We are a team of 16 people including Product Managers, Product Designers and Product/Design Operations Managers who report to the Chief Product Officer with a team located in London, Amsterdam and fully remote. Over 70% of our Product team identify as female.   

We have 7 squads that work in fortnightly sprints to deliver outcome focussed quarterly OKRs. Each of these squads is responsible for all the strategic decision making within their Product area with an associated Product Manager.

As a Product Manager in the Range & Logistics domain, you will ensure that we build internal systems that will allow our range to grow and evolve as well as allow our beautiful products to be delivered on time and bring delight to our customers. This is particularly important as we extend our range beyond flowers to include a wider range of gifts such as candles, diffusers, fragrances and hampers.

You’ll do this by owning our internal range and delivery systems and ensuring that they can scale to deliver our stretching business goals. We are a rapidly growing, international business and you will need to balance high levels of ambiguity and autonomy whilst solving some of our biggest operational challenges. 

You will work with stakeholders across the business, including our Range, Logistics and Warehouse Operations Teams to identify, prioritise and develop solutions to our range expansion challenges, from representation and management of more complex products to accurate, scalable and flexible stock management, as well as our logistics challenges, from carrier onboarding to tracking accuracy and reporting.

As we grow our company (in terms of the volume of our customers, our product range and the countries we are active in), we need systems that will grow and evolve with us. This will involve optimising existing systems, like stock management, to make sure we don’t oversell and that we are optimising for low waste and optimal product availability, as well as implementing or integrating with new systems that improve our ways of working.

Looking toward automation and efficiency, we are looking for a new colleague who is passionate about operational excellence. With the help of the product team, this role is a great opportunity to hone your product skills and work with a varied range of stakeholders.

You will help define and lead the product roadmap that will support our growth aspirations.

We are a distributed team with two office locations in Amsterdam and London and multiple warehouse locations. Our team can choose to work from our offices as much or as little as they’d like. We don’t expect people to come in as a norm but if it makes sense to do so (team onsites, monthly meetings etc), then we’d encourage it.
