As the Associate Director of Display, Video & App Marketing, you will lead our global acquisition channels across Display, Video, and App—balancing performance and awareness objectives while driving cost-effective volume growth across the full HelloFresh Group brand portfolio.
Your primary mission is to strategically scale these channels in a way that is measurable, creatively sharp, and responsive to demand. That means embedding an always-on incrementality framework at the heart of how we measure effectiveness, defining and rolling out a unified measurement and creative framework across channels, ensuring technical infrastructure is scalable and robust, and making sure we show up effectively during HelloFresh Group's biggest peak and high-demand moments.
Above all, we are seeking ambitious individuals who are driven to make HelloFresh better. We firmly believe that skills are developed through diverse experiences and unique pathways. Therefore, even if your background doesn't "tick every box" but you are confident you would excel in this role, we strongly encourage you to apply and share your story with us.
You will...

- Test and scale new formats: Identify, test, and scale new opportunities within Display, Video, and App ecosystems—including YouTube, new creative formats, and app monetization—to diversify acquisition and support video adoption goals.
- Drive cross-channel alignment: Partner with cross-channel and measurement teams to connect Display, Video, and App activity to the broader full-funnel customer journey and shared measurement frameworks.
- Coordinate aligned messaging: Deploy aligned messaging across ad creative and app store landing pages, collaborating closely with the Brand team and relevant Performance Marketing channels.
