About the role 

We’re looking for an experienced Director of Performance Marketing to join the UK team. As the Director of Growth Marketing in the UK, you will play a crucial role in driving the growth and success of our UK brands, HelloFresh and GreenChef. Your leadership will be instrumental in shaping data-driven strategies, fostering innovation, building and empowering a high-performing team. This is a unique opportunity for a strategic, data-driven, and entrepreneurial leader who thrives in a fast-paced and challenging environment. 

 

What you’ll do 

• Drive UK Performance – Fully own the UK Growth marketing P&L for HelloFresh and Green Chef; acquisition, reactivation, and referrals. 
• Develop & Execute Growth Strategy – Lead the end-to-end growth strategy for HelloFresh and GreenChef, developing data-driven strategies, balancing brand-building and performance marketing for sustainable and profitable growth. 
• Lead & Scale a High-Performing Team – Manage performance marketing teams and local channels, offering strategic direction, mentorship, and support, all while nurturing a culture defined by humility and curiosity.
• Champion Innovation & Growth – Identify and capitalize on emerging marketing channels, trends, and customer insights to drive incremental growth. 
• Drive Cross-Functional Impact – Collaborate with Brand, Marketing Analytics, Discounts, Growth Partnerships and Retail Media to create a holistic UK growth strategy that fuels growth across locally owned and centralised channels
• Discount strategy - Take ownership of the UK discount strategy, providing strategic guidance on discount pipeline to find the balance between reducing discount spend without eroding profitability
• Conversion Rate Optimization - Advise on conversion rate optimization and ensure a strong testing roadmap, building relationships with local and global stakeholders.

What you’ll bring 

• Track record - Proven track record of success with fast progression in previous roles. Deep experience navigating growth cycles - from the "building" phase in startups to "optimizing and scaling" within mid-to-large D2C or e-commerce organizations.
• Channel expertise vs. macro perspective - The ability to zoom in on granular channel mechanics (both online and offline) across the lifecycle (Acquisition, Virality and Reactivations) while managing a holistic marketing mix, ensuring every channel works together to drive demand
• Operational excellence - An obsession with identifying and addressing "limiting factors." You thrive in high-accountability environments and have a track record of managing large budgets against clear financial targets.
• Customer-Centric Innovation - A passion for leveraging customer insights as a springboard for testing new channels and growth hacks that unlock new and existing market segments.
• Executive Influence - Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence at the C-suite level and drive cross-functional collaboration 
• High analytical and commercial acumen - You remain composed under pressure, using data to make informed decisions and "challenging fairly" to drive the best outcomes for the business.
