Florist jobs in George Town, Penang花艺师职位招聘 · 槟城乔治市

Anyone can sell flowers. We’re training people to build them.

Three open roles at SweetLife & Co. No florist experience needed for the first one — just hands you’re willing to get wet, cold and covered in leaves.

Who we are

A florist worth
growing old in值得做一辈子的花艺事业

SweetLife & Co. is a flower studio in George Town, Penang. We do daily bouquets and same-day delivery, event and wedding installations, and floral workshops with cafés and local brands around the island. Every arrangement leaving our door was made by hand, by someone whose name we know.

Floristry in Malaysia is still treated like a shop job. We think that’s the reason good people leave it after two years. So we’re building the opposite: a studio where the craft is taught properly, where you’re trusted with real work early, and where “senior florist” is a title you earn rather than inherit by being the last one standing.

We’re a small team and we stay hands-on. Nobody here delegates a skill they haven’t done themselves — including the founders. That’s not a slogan, it’s how we learned the business the hard way.
