As an evolving startup company, we provide a fast-paced, rewarding workplace rooted in personal and professional growth, balanced with a generous employee discount. We are committed to a professional culture built on trust, mindful prioritization, efficiency, and a constructive, open feedback loop.

Our Spaces: Candidates should have the flexibility to happily support and work shifts at both our Boston and Cambridge studio locations.
Nurturing Our Schedule: True collaboration requires flexibility. Days and hours vary by season, including opening and closing responsibilities.
Weekend Shifts: Because weekends are when our community gathers most, weekend availability is a firm requirement for this role.
Holiday Rushes: Our most meaningful periods are also our busiest. Full availability is required during peak industry holiday weeks (including Valentine’s Day week, Mother’s Day week, and the December holiday season), during which we pause time-off requests.

Studio Harmony: Move mindfully through opening and closing procedures. Maintain meticulous studio cleanliness, organization, and a beautiful visual presentation across both locations.
Inventory & Merchandising: Coordinate seamlessly with the owner to receive, unload, and organize new product arrivals. Ensure merchandise is beautifully labeled and that our indoor and outdoor plants are consistently watered and cared for.
Design & Assembly Support: Learn to precisely replicate the studio’s signature floral arrangements and plant styling to keep our brand voice consistent. Prepare our branded packaging—tissue, ribbons, and bags—with an eye for refined detail.

What We Look For (Qualifications)

Heart-centered Customer Service: A naturally warm, welcoming personality that puts diverse clients at ease.
Experience: A minimum of 2 years in a retail or customer-facing environment is preferred. Personal or professional experience with plants, gardening, or floral design is a plus but not required.

Logistics: A valid driver’s license and a clean driving record are preferred to support operations between our locations.
Core Values: A strong work ethic, personal accountability, and a commitment to an open feedback loop—meaning the gentle ability to constructively give, receive, and implement guidance in real time.

This job operates in active retail studio environments (both indoors and outdoors, depending on the season). Solid black attire is required to maintain our sleek, professional studio aesthetic.
