This is not a “stand around and arrange flowers all day” kind of role.
We’re looking for someone who loves flowers, yes—but also loves the work that comes with them. The early mornings, the buckets, the mess, the details, the doing. Someone who takes pride in creating something beautiful—but also in cleaning it up, organizing it, and making it better the next time.
At Farmgirl, we’re all in. We schlep, we hustle, we figure things out, and we care deeply about what we put into the world. If you see something that needs to be done and just do it—without waiting to be asked—you’ll fit right in.
If you’re looking for a quiet, precious floral job where you make a few arrangements and call it a day—this isn’t that. But if you’re excited to be part of a team that really cares about the work and takes pride in doing it well, this could be a great fit.
You’ll be a core part of our product and creative team—designing for our everyday product lineup, marketing shoots, special projects, and everything in between.
You’ll work closely with our Director of Product to bring new designs to life, keep our offerings consistent, and evolve our aesthetic in a way that still feels unmistakably Farmgirl.
This role goes well beyond design. You’ll be involved in sourcing, inventory, product builds, and making sure what we design can actually be executed consistently—and profitably—at scale.
Some days you’ll be designing. Some days you’ll be processing flowers, organizing the cooler, sourcing product, driving to pick things up, or helping prep for a shoot or event.
No ego. No “that’s not my job.” Just good work.
There’s also real opportunity here. As you prove yourself, there’s room to take on more ownership and grow your role—we’re a small team, and strong operators naturally grow with us.
Design floral arrangements for our core product lineup, seasonal launches, and special collections
Create designs and help to style shoots for marketing shoots, campaigns, press needs, and events
Turn designs into clear, repeatable “recipes” (stem counts, varieties, substitutions) so they can be executed consistently across our network
Work with product and operations teams to source and procure flowers and hard goods—and learn how we balance quality, availability, and cost
Design with an understanding of pricing and margins—we’re not just making beautiful things, we’re running a business
Receive, process, and care for flowers to ensure quality and longevity
Keep the workspace clean, organized, and running well (this really matters to us)
Help manage inventory, track usage, and stay ahead of what we need before we run out
Assist with photoshoots, on-site installs, and event execution as needed
Travel for key holidays (Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, etc.), events, and press opportunities
Drive to farms, markets, or vendors as needed to source and transport product
Jump in to support broader farm and operations work when needed
At least 3–5 years of professional floral design experience at a high-end shop or with a studio florist
A design aesthetic that aligns with Farmgirl’s style—natural, thoughtful, and not overdone
A strong, disciplined eye for color—someone who gravitates toward cohesive, tonal palettes rather than high-contrast or overly busy combinations
You have strong taste and know the difference between “pretty” and truly well-designed
Deep knowledge of flower care, handling, and seasonality
Highly organized with strong attention to detail—nothing slips through the cracks
Someone who naturally keeps a clean, tidy, and well-run workspace
Strong computer skills and comfort with day-to-day tools (Microsoft Office, Gmail, Slack, Asana, etc.)—you’re able to stay organized, communicate clearly, and keep things moving without needing to be chased down
Comfortable receiving direct feedback and using it to get better quickly
A positive, team-first attitude—no drama, no ego
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, physically active environment
Able to lift buckets, stand for long periods, and work early mornings when needed
Must have a valid driver’s license and be comfortable driving as part of the role
Flexible and willing to do whatever needs to get done
Able and willing to travel as needed
Experience working directly with farms or sourcing flowers
Experience designing for photoshoots, campaigns, or events
Familiarity with inventory or product systems
Experience working in ecommerce or high-volume production environments
