Description
The role
As Marketing Lead, you'll be the senior expert driving HelloFresh Group's global referral and virality programme - one of our key growth engines. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role: you'll set the direction, own the Referral and Virality KPIs and define the operating model that enables execution across the organization.
This role sits at the intersection of CRM, product marketing, growth, and performance, spanning 16 markets and 8 brands globally. You will lead the work, organizing cross-functional teams, defining the operational plan and tactical playbooks, shaping how the virality function is perceived and built over time.
You bring the depth of an expert and the range of a generalist: as comfortable in the data as you are in a senior stakeholder room, as rigorous in planning as you are fast in execution. You bring a product management mindset to marketing — translating strategy into clear priorities, experiments, and measurable outcomes.
If you love owning growth programmes end-to-end, thrive at the intersection of marketing, CRM and product, and want to help define what best-in-class referral looks like at a global company - this role is for you.
Above all, we are looking for people who will make HelloFresh better. We believe there are many different ways of developing skills and we love diverse experiences! So even if you don’t “tick all the boxes” but think you’d thrive in this role, we would really like to learn more about you.
What you’ll do
Own the Programme - Strategy to Execution
- Own HelloFresh's global referral and virality programme, defining the proposition, channel strategy, roadmap, measurement framework, and execution model across CRM and product.
- Translate business objectives into clear priorities, measurable outcomes, and an operating rhythm that enables cross-functional delivery.
- Act as the organization's subject matter expert for referral and virality, influencing strategy and aligning senior stakeholders.
Build & Scale Referral Growth
- Design referral experiences customers love by partnering with Product and local markets to deliver seamless, globally consistent customer journeys.
- Drive referral performance through experimentation, data-driven decision-making, and continuous optimization.
- Lead cross-functional execution across multiple teams, navigating complexity and competing priorities to deliver measurable business outcomes.
What you’ll bring
- 6+ years of experience in CRM, lifecycle marketing, growth marketing, product marketing, referrals, virality, or similar—ideally within tech, subscription, e-commerce, or marketplace businesses.
- Experience leading complex cross-functional initiatives, bringing together Product, CRM, Analytics, Engineering, and commercial teams to deliver strategic outcomes in fast-paced environments.
- A product and systems mindset—you're comfortable turning ambiguous business goals into clear strategies, roadmaps, and experiments while aligning cross-functional teams around shared outcomes without formal authority.
- Strong analytical and commercial acumen, with experience defining success metrics, interpreting customer and performance data, running experiments, and translating insights into measurable business impact.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills—you're able to influence senior leaders, communicate complex ideas with clarity, and build alignment across Product, CRM, Analytics, and Marketing.
- Proficiency with modern AI tools, using them to improve decision-making, accelerate execution, automate workflows, and enhance personal and team productivity.
- An ownership-driven approach to problem-solving—you prioritize effectively, thrive in ambiguity, and continuously improve how teams, processes, and customer experiences scale
Nice to Have
