Associate Development Floral Designer

A full-time creative career in floral design. Salaried, stable, and genuinely creative. They do exist.

About Venus et Fleur

Venus et Fleur invented the luxury preserved floral category. Since 2015 the brand has become the market leader in preserved florals, with boutiques across the US and in London. Our customers send our flowers to mark the moments that matter most. The person on the receiving end opens that box once. We think about that every time we make something.

The Role

You will work with the Senior Development Floral Designer to learn each new collection, build samples, and set the construction standards that define how a design gets made at scale. Then you will take those standards onto the floor and own them, training and coaching designers, maintaining quality in real time, and making sure that what leaves this studio is something worth receiving.

This is a role for someone with a sharp eye, a steady hand, and the confidence to hold a room to a high standard. Fully on-site in Cranbury, NJ. Fast-paced and seasonal by nature.

What You Will Do

• Learn and execute new mixed floral collections, adapting designs across product formats
• Build samples and establish repeatable construction standards with realistic production pacing
• Own quality control on the design floor, correcting and coaching in real time every day
• Train full-time and freelance designers on new products, construction methods, and brand standards
• Manage freelance teams during peak periods: sourcing, scheduling, tracking, and quality oversight
• Review incoming floral inventory with Operations for color and material accuracy
• Maintain PD documentation including BOMs, product decks, component sheets, and training materials

Who You Are

• 3 to 5 years in floral design across creative and production environments
• Precise, educated aesthetic sensibility with the technical ability to execute complex arrangements and teach others to do the same
• A natural communicator who gives direct feedback and brings people up to standard without losing the room
• Someone for whom the end recipient of a floral arrangement is never an abstraction

Compensation and Benefits

• Base salary $65,000 to $75,000 annually, commensurate with experience
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Paid time off

Why Venus et Fleur

Salaried. Benefited. Creative. Stable. A product that people remember receiving for the rest of their lives, and a team that takes that seriously. For the right person the path forward includes greater creative ownership and team leadership as the brand grows.

This position is based in Cranbury, NJ. Candidates should be within a reasonable commute or open to relocation.
