You will own one of the most financially material and customer-sensitive levers in the business. You will shape a multi-year roadmap and hold peers in Operations, Technology, Finance, and Market Leadership accountable for the quality of inputs that determine how well and how efficiently we recover customer trust.

The Associate Director, Customer Compensation & Policy is responsible for the global strategy, architecture, and governance of how HelloFresh compensates customers across all markets and brands. This is not a policy maintenance role. It is a strategic function that sits at the intersection of customer economics, operational data, behavioral experimentation, and cross-functional influence.
The ideal candidate brings a rare combination: analytical rigor sharp enough to architect a global compensation engine from first principles, and the executive presence to drive adoption across a complex, multi-market organization without formal authority over most of the people they need to move.

MBA or equivalent postgraduate qualification required.
Undergraduate degree in Economics, Business, Engineering, or a quantitative discipline.
8–12 years of progressive experience in customer strategy, pricing, operations, or a directly adjacent domain with meaningful exposure to global, multi-market environments.
Demonstrated track record of owning a financially significant operational lever and managing it with both analytical precision and strategic judgment.
Prior experience leading and developing teams; comfort operating as a senior individual contributor and a people leader simultaneously.
Background in subscription commerce, logistics, or consumer-facing operations strongly preferred. Familiarity with the economics of customer recovery in high-volume, low-margin environments is a distinct advantage.
Advanced proficiency in SQL and data analysis; able to build and pressure-test the analytical models that underpin policy decisions without delegating the logic to others.
Fluency with experimentation methodology: test design, statistical significance, holdout analysis, and the translation of results into policy not just reporting.
Experience working with or alongside engineering teams to define product and system requirements for rules-based or AI-assisted decisioning tools.
Comfort with financial modeling: building the business case for compensation investment, forecasting spend impact, and tracking actuals against plan.
Senior executive presence: able to walk into a GM, COO, or CFO conversation with a clear point of view, defend it under pressure, and leave with alignment.
A credible voice with peers and upward stakeholders not because of title, but because of the quality of analysis and clarity of communication.
Structured and decisive under ambiguity: able to make a defensible call with incomplete information and adjust as evidence develops.
Genuinely collaborative across markets and functions able to hold people to standards without damaging the relationships needed to sustain them.
