Full Job Description
About the role

We9re hiring a Principal Product Manager who has built the products that power scaled social advertising and not just run campaigns on them, and wants to apply that depth to a global, data-rich consumer business. You9ll build the systems that decide how campaigns are run. This role is responsible for defining and building the next-generation Paid Social platform at HelloFresh, spanning:
  • Creative intelligence
  • Signal strategy
  • Measurement + incrementality
  • Budget allocation and execution automation
What you9ll do

End-to-End System Ownership
  • You9ll own a closed-loop growth system, not isolated features of both the platform itself and the team practices that surround it.

Creative Intelligence
  • Systems that predict, score, and generate high-performing creative
  • DCO infrastructure across Meta, TikTok, and YouTube
  • Feedback loops from performance back into production

Signal & Optimization Layer
  • Define and evolve platform signals (CAPI, Events APIs, modeled conversions)
  • Shift optimization toward downstream value
  • Ensure signal quality, density, and platform alignment

Budget & Execution Engine
  • Move from manual planning to model-driven budget allocation
  • Build systems that dynamically allocate spend across campaigns, channels, and geos
  • Integrate with platform bidding systems (Advantage+, Smart+, and equivalents)

Measurement & Decisioning
  • Own incrementality, MMM, and causal measurement frameworks
  • Translate model outputs into actionable decisions
  • Build the loop that connects spend 1 signal 1 model 1 decision 1 outcome

Lead Through Influence
  • Partner closely with VP Marketing, Data Science, and Engineering
  • Resolve platform vs. internal optimization tradeoffs
  • Drive alignment on what we optimize for, and why

Raise the Product Bar
  • Set the standard for product thinking, decision frameworks, and experimentation rigor
  • Move the organization from insight consumption to automated decisioning

Role Scope: this is a product role, not a marketing one. It sits at the intersection of Ad-Tech, ML, and growth systems where your decisions directly shape how hundreds of millions in paid social spend get allocated.
What you9ll bring
  • 10+ years in product management, with 5+ years building products within or deeply integrated with paid social advertising platforms at a technology company, ad-tech firm, social platform, or large-scale DTC brand
  • Hands-on depth across multiple paid social platforms and their APIs: Meta (Marketing API, CAPI, Advantage+, Creator Marketplace), TikTok (Ads API, Events API, Creator Marketplace), YouTube (Ads API, Brand Connect), and at least one of Pinterest, Snapchat, or LinkedIn
  • Track record of building creative intelligence products, creative scoring, DCO, or multivariate testing infrastructure that demonstrably improved performance at scale
  • Deep measurement expertise: you9ve personally designed and shipped MMM, MTA, or incrementality frameworks, not just consumed their outputs
  • Experience in influencer or creator product development: discovery tooling, workflow automation, or performance attribution for creator-driven paid and organic content
  • Strong technical fluency: you lead cross-functional squads with engineers, data scientists, and analysts as peer collaborators you can write a technical spec, review a model card, and challenge architectural decisions
  • Demonstrated principal behavior: you set direction across teams, resolve ambiguity without escalation, drive alignment at senior levels, and communicate at publication quality
What we offer
  • Competitive salary, 401k with company match that vests immediately upon participation, and company equity plan based on role
  • Generous PTO, including sabbatical, and parental leave of up to 16 weeks
  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits with options at $0 monthly, effective first day of employment
  • Tuition reimbursement for continuing education
  • Up to 85% discount on subscriptions to HelloFresh meal plans (HelloFresh, Green Chef, Every plate, and Factor_)
  • Access to 7 different Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) including those for BIPOC, women, veterans, parents, and LGBTQ+
  • Inclusive, collaborative, and dynamic work environment within a fast-paced, mission-driven company that is disrupting the traditional food supply chain
