EMPLOYMENT AT FIELD & FLORIST

RETAIL FRAGRANCE SALES & FLORAL DESIGN 
MONADNOCK BUILDING

Field & Florist is now hiring for a part-time retail floral design and fragrance sales position at our south loop location in the Monadnock building. This location specializes in niche fragrance from around the world and floral design.

Ideal applicants possess some experience in the floral industry, with demonstrable skills in floral processing, identification and design and also exhibit a keen interest in the world of niche perfumery. Though previous experience is not required to apply, the ability and confidence to work independently with warm and welcoming communication will be imperative in this role. It is best suited for an individual that is naturally eager to make personal connections with others. Candidates for this position should also possess a true interest in contemporary design and a general orientation toward - and curiosity for - the poetry of aesthetics, regarding both floral and fragrance items we carry in the shop.  

New employees will begin by working alongside staff, assisting with floral processing and shop maintenance, learning how to take and make floral orders, cleaning vessels and undertaking other tasks that aid in creating a fluid, team-oriented design and customer service oriented environment, for both fragrance and floral design.

While we appreciate and understand that there are many perspectives within floral design, this position will specifically entail learning and working in Field & Florist’s design aesthetic to ensure that both design for events and work leaving the shop express a consistent tone and values. A keen eye to detail, a collaborative/open attitude during critique and a willingness to learn will be essential to advancing to full time positions in the future. 

In addition to the above, ideal candidates possess and exhibit a willingness to do the necessary - and less glamorous - behind the scenes work that keeps the customer-facing aspects of the business running smoothly. Focus, efficiency, organization, communication, cleanliness, time management, flexibility and a team-oriented, collaborative mentality will be necessary in our fast-paced environment.

Field & Florist is specifically looking to hire longer-term employees with a deep interest in honing their floral design craft. We do not tolerate discriminatory views or behavior of any kind.

  • 21+

  • Confidence and strong communication skills

  • Ability to lift and carry 50 lbs

  • Availability 2 days/week (shift 9:30-6:30), with possibility for more

  • Self-awareness, self-direction, & motivation 

Beneficial Skills:

  • Good penmanship & strong written communication skills

COMPENSATION

Compensation for this position begins at $18/hr for 6 week training period. After training, pay increases commensurate with exhibited growth and experience.
