About Hy-Vee

At Hy-Vee, we believe the shortest distance between two people is a smile. We're seeking people with a passion for customer service, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to being part of a team that strives to make our customers' lives easier, healthier and happier.

The Role and Why It's Important

At Hy-Vee, our floral department is where creativity meets customer care, and our Floral Designers are at the heart of it.

Order flowers and supplies daily or as needed with direction from the Floral Manager

Identify key areas throughout the store to place specials and share creative ideas for arrangements

Assume responsibility for the department in the absence of the Manager or Assistant Manager

Unload trucks, place product in appropriate storage areas, and replenish merchandise

Answer the phone promptly and provide friendly, helpful service to customers who call

Follow Hy-Vee's dress code, hygiene standards, and all department and company guidelines

Pitch in with other tasks or special projects as they come up

Your Skills

Bring commitment to Hy-Vee's mission and a genuine passion for delivering an outstanding customer and team experience

Demonstrate strong floral design skills and knowledge of floral products, care and handling, and plant and flower identification

Lead and guide floral clerks in a fast-paced retail environment

Solve practical problems and make sound decisions with a variety of variables and limited standardization

Apply math skills including fractions, decimals, and percentages in day-to-day tasks

Communicate clearly with customers, team members, and vendors and provide direction and guidance

Maintain confidentiality on customer order details including who sent, who received, and order contents
