French Florist is a luxury floral brand redefining what it means to give and receive flowers, with a thriving e-commerce business and a growing network of brick-and-mortar boutiques. Rooted in beauty, craft, and care, we operate and express ourselves in a more elevated, differentiated way than others in the category—from the quality of our blooms to the tone of every customer touchpoint.

Role Summary

The Creative Director, Marketing leads campaign concepts, art direction, and day-to-day creative execution for French Florist’s Marketing team.
