Sr. Manager, Menu Performance (f/m/x)

The role

Factor Europe is scaling rapidly, and as the complexity of our product offering grows, we are looking for a Sr. Manager, Menu Performance to optimize the performance of our weekly menu plan and surrounding processes. 

This is a data-driven, hands-on building role. You will decide what tools, systems, and processes we need to optimize our weekly processes, and use all of the AI tools at your disposal to develop / optimize them. You’ll be the ultimate owner of our weekly product cycle: which means optimizing our menu for maximal engagement and retention of our customers, as well as simplifying / automating as much of our internal process as possible.

Whether you’re analytical supply chain master who wants more exposure to product/customer, a systems thinker who loves building and improving processes, or a technical generalist who wants to push the boundaries of what’s newly possible with AI - this is a chance to supercharge one of Europe’s fastest-growing food-tech brands.

What you’ll do

• Optimize menu performance
• Improve our menu planning model: Refine the models that architect our weekly menu—optimizing for customer engagement and retention within real constraints: seasonality, cost targets, and production capacity.
• Find out what actually drives outcomes: Run correlation and driver analysis on which menu attributes genuinely move engagement and retention.
• Model the commercial impact: Understand and forecast how menu decisions land on cost per meal and profitability to course-correct early.
• Own the weekly menu cycle
• Translate customer data into action: Own the weekly menu review, turning customer ratings and qualitative feedback into insights the Culinary and Kitchen Operations teams can act on.
• Run the process reliably: Ensure menus are built and uploaded on time, coordinating across R&D, Supply Chain, and Production as needed.
• Own recipe/menu data quality: Challenge our data hygiene practices and implement the processes and controls that ensure our data is complete and accurate.
• Build the tools and automate the work
• Automate meal onboarding: Take our concept-to-launch process apart, find the unnecessary manual steps, and eliminate or automate them to improve speed to market. Expect to build software and write scripts to get there.
• Own and extend the Product tool stack: Take our existing tools and improve them, consolidate them, and build what’s missing. Build systems that survive without you in the room.

Who you are

• A builder: You are comfortable with ambiguity. You don’t need a playbook to be effective; you are excited to write it.
• Data-obsessed: You’re fluent enough to query and QA data yourself, and can create data visualizations that separate signal from noise.
• A systems thinker: You don’t just fix a problem; you fix the process that allowed the problem to happen.
• Structured and process-oriented: You can quickly spot the bottlenecks in a process and picture the improvements concretely enough to build toward them; you love creating issue trees and driving to the root cause of problems. 
• AI-native: You’re on the cutting edge of what tools are available and have built things beyond what your formal background should allow.
• High agency: You don’t get stuck easily: you ask why, you find workarounds, and you hustle to keep the project on track.

Requirements

• Experience: 5+ years in Product/Business Operations, Analytics, Management Consulting, or Operational Excellence. Experience in FMCG, E-Comm, or Food-Tech is a plus.
• Scale Exposure: You have a track record of transitioning manual, spreadsheet-based processes into automated, scalable systems.
• Technical Toolkit: Advanced in Excel/Google Sheets and proficiency with SQL is required; experience Python is an advantage.
• AI Experience: You should have numerous examples of what you’ve built with AI coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or equivalent). 
• Stakeholder Management: Proven ability to influence leaders across different departments and geographies.

What we offer

• Freedom to initiate, execute and implement your own ideas
• Lots of learning and development opportunities
• 24  holidays based on 40 hours per week per year, pro rata
• A hybrid work setup - with roughly 2 days in our Amsterdam office 
• Reimbursement of travel expenses to the office
• Discount on your ClassPass subscription, and a discount for your gym membership via Bedrijfsfitness Nederland 
• Discount on your additional health insurance through Zilveren Kruis
• A discount on your weekly, Factor, HelloFresh and/or Green Chef box in the Netherlands
• Healthy lunches, fruit and snacks in the office 
• Competitive salary and pension scheme
• Social activities with our culturally diverse team!
