Job description
The opportunity: Elevate the Brand. Redefine Growth.
We're at a pivotal moment. This is not a role focused on maintaining momentum — it's about creating it. Reporting to the CEO of DACH, you will lead the regional Marketing domain, drive experimentation and innovation, and help write the next chapter of HelloFresh's growth story. With the backing of a high-performing global organisation, you'll have the freedom to explore new ideas, scale winning concepts, and expand beyond traditional performance marketing.
What you'll do
- Brand Activation & Storytelling: Build brand love at scale. Lead culturally relevant brand initiatives that strengthen resonance across the DACH region, turning creative ideas into measurable engagement, loyalty, and long-term growth.
- Product Marketing Excellence: Connect product truth with customer value. Partner with local and global teams to shape compelling positioning, define brand territories, and deliver best-in-class go-to-market strategies grounded in customer insight and experimentation.
- Experimentation & Innovation: Test bold ideas. Scale what works. Identify new growth opportunities, pilot innovative marketing models, and build fast learning loops that transform experimentation into scalable impact.
- Product-Led Growth: Design seamless growth engines. Create product-led pathways that integrate brand, CX, and digital experiences to drive conversions, retention, and sustainable business performance.
- Strategic Positioning and Targeting: Define the next chapter of HelloFresh DACH. Elevate regional positioning and refine audience strategies to strengthen relevance, differentiation, and long-term brand equity in the DACH market.
- Partnerships & Cultural Impact: Create breakthrough collaborations. Develop high-impact partnerships with creators, talent, and cultural platforms that expand reach, build credibility, and inspire excitement among new and existing customers.
- Executive Leadership: Shape strategy at the highest level. Serve as a core member of the DACH Leadership Team, driving alignment, championing customer-centricity, and ensuring marketing plays a central role in company-wide decision-making.
What you'll bring
- Customer-First Mindset: Deep understanding of consumer insights, brand positioning, and behaviour-driven growth.
- D2C Leadership Experience: Proven senior leadership track record in direct-to-consumer businesses, ideally in e-commerce or food. Subscription model experience is a strong plus.
- Product-Led Growth Expertise: Demonstrated success designing and scaling initiatives that connect customer value with business outcomes.
- DACH Market Expertise: Strong understanding of regional consumer behaviour and established agency/partner networks.
- Team Builder: Experience recruiting, mentoring, and leading high-performing marketing teams.
- Data-Driven Decision Maker: Strong analytical and commercial acumen, with a clear-eyed view of what drives business performance.
- Innovator at Heart: Passion for experimentation, creativity, and challenging the status quo.
- Budget Management: Comfortable managing multi-million-euro budgets across multiple markets.
- Language: Fluency in German is a strong plus.
- Experience: 8–10 years of senior-level experience in data-driven marketing, growth, or brand leadership roles.
What we offer

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for hellofresh. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
