Director of Product Development

Who we are

Lovingly has paired our passion for creating meaningful moments with the power of innovative technology to redefine how gifts, especially floral gifts, are sent today. We think it should be personal, intentional, and truly capable of representing how you feel!

And with our network of talented local florists across the US and Canada, we can guarantee your gift will make a mark.

Lovingly is fully remote, with team members across North America.  Since embracing a fully remote structure during the pandemic, Lovingly has fostered a flexible work environment where the majority of our team enjoys the freedom to work from home. While the majority of our staff are conveniently located within a few hours of our Hopewell Junction, NY headquarters, we recognize and value the unique benefits of in-person collaboration. Depending on the role, our team members will be asked to join us at HQ at least once a year and sometimes quarterly or monthly or more (depending on the role), combining the best of remote flexibility with the tangible benefits of face-to-face interactions. This hybrid approach reflects our commitment to a balanced, adaptable work culture that respects individual needs and fosters team cohesion.
