About The Role (Please Read Carefully)

Farmgirl Flowers is looking for an exceptionally skilled floral designer to join our team as our Floral Design Director. This is a brand-new role for the company, and we know we’re looking for a needle in a haystack—but we’ll keep this post open until we find the right one. Until now, our Founder and CEO has always held this responsibility, and we’re seeking someone who can step into her shoes design-wise without a long ramp-up period. This isn’t your typical shop role—we’re searching for someone whose work already looks and feels like Farmgirl: wild, textural, trend-forward, and never cookie-cutter. The right candidate will have worked with designers who share a similar aesthetic or run their own floral business for at least five years. We’re looking for someone who not only has the eye but also thrives on staying ahead of floral trends, pushing creative boundaries, and experimenting with new ideas. Training can cover supply chain and distribution as they relate to design (a big part of e-commerce), but the true differentiators here are an innate design eye and a proven track record of experience—qualities we’re prioritizing in our search.

As Floral Design Director, you’ll provide design leadership across everything we do: from shipped bouquets to high-end weddings, events, and press opportunities. You’ll balance creativity with practicality—designing with price, scale, and shippability in mind while still making products that wow. You’ll also take on brand representation, traveling for both domestic and international events and press opportunities, working with external partners, and executing show-stopping installations that bring Farmgirl’s specific aesthetic to life. This role requires travel up to 20% of the time. In addition, you’ll be responsible for training our partner facilities on Farmgirl’s design standards to ensure our aesthetic and quality remain consistent across every bouquet that leaves our hands.

You’ll work directly with our Founder & CEO, so professionalism is key. The right person will be comfortable handling direct feedback, able to work autonomously, and self-motivated to bring their best ideas forward without needing constant direction. To be a fit, candidates must have at least 5 years of floral design experience and a proven track record of holding a design role for 3+ years at one company—demonstrating both skill and staying power. A strong portfolio that shows alignment with Farmgirl’s design aesthetic—from look and feel to color composition—is essential.

Equally important, we’re looking for someone who is a team player and willing to pitch in wherever needed—because that’s the culture here at Farmgirl. No elitist or too-good-for-the-team attitude will thrive on our team. We value equal parts talent and kindness, and we know the right fit will bring both.

This is a salaried role with pay ranging from $85,000–$150,000+/year, based on experience. We offer full benefits—including medical, dental, vision, PTO, and a 401(k) with company match. 

Relocation support is available for the right candidate for this role.

How To Apply

If your design aesthetic matches ours and you’re looking to move (or already live) in a beautiful corner of the Pacific Northwest, we’d love to hear from you. To apply, simply upload your portfolio—or a link to it— or send it to hr@farmgirlflowers.com. If your portfolio feels like a fit, we’ll be in touch. 

Your application will NOT be considered without your portfolio. Thank you for understanding.

Benefits

Employees (and their families) are eligible for medical, dental, and vision insurance. Basic life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment coverage are also available for employees. Employees can enroll in our Flexible Spending Accounts program and the company’s 401(k) plan, which includes a company match. Fringe benefits are available for this role. Lastly, this role is subject to our paid time off/sick policy and will receive ten (10) paid holidays throughout the calendar year.
