Marketing & Communication specialist

As a Marketing & Communication Specialist at HilverdaFlorist, you’ll play a key role in realizing our mission: “Excel together for a flourishing future.” 

You are an expert in creating engaging content that informs and inspires our target audiences. You know exactly which tools and channels to use to convey our message effectively. In this versatile role, you’ll coordinate product launches, run online campaigns, and develop various marketing materials. You’ll also play an active role in organising events and trade show participation. 

You’ll be part of the compact but dynamic Marketing & Communication team, responsible for all marketing activities in the Netherlands and at our subsidiaries abroad. You’ll have the opportunity to grow within a dynamic, international organisation and further develop yourself. 

At HilverdaFlorist, we strive to lead in the ever-evolving ornamental horticulture industry – and your creativity will be a valuable contribution. We’re a company with a positive, informal, and professional work atmosphere, where people support each other. Development is key, and we actively encourage it through training and education. 

We also offer excellent primary and secondary benefits, including:
• A competitive salary between € 3,500 – € 5,000 depending on your knowledge and experience
• A position for 32 to 40 hours per week
• Employment conditions according to the CAO Glastuinbouw
• 25.5 vacation days (based on full-time employment)
• A good pension scheme
• Hybrid working options, in consultation with your manager and team 

HilverdaFlorist specialises in the breeding, propagation, and development of a wide range of cut flowers, potted plants, and garden plants – all driven by innovation. We’re a global supplier of high-quality young plant material suited to every climate and cultivation requirement, available as seeds, cuttings, and tissue culture. 

Our mission is simple: Excel together for a flourishing future. We focus on four core values: innovation, ambition, partnership, and reliability. Our international headquarters is located in De Kwakel, the Netherlands. Here we work with 150 colleagues in close collaboration with our subsidiaries in Colombia, Kenya, India, and Canada to serve customers worldwide with the best products and advice. 

You’re a specialist in writing (online) content, press releases, and newsletters. As part of a small team, you’re hands-on and not afraid to roll up your sleeves. You’re involved in planning, coordinating, and executing – both independently and together with your team and external partners. 

You enjoy working with tight deadlines but remain flexible to handle last-minute tasks. You’re enthusiastic about online communication (website and social media) and skilled in creating brochures, mailings, and other promotional materials. You get excited about launching innovative product concepts, branding, and organising events and trade show participation. 

You also bring: 

• At least 3 years of relevant experience (experience in the ornamental horticulture sector is a plus)
  • A completed Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, or Commercial Economics
  • Fluent in Dutch and English, spoken and written
  • Experience with project-based work
  • Knowledge of and interest in the latest (online) marketing trends
