Principal Product Manager, Loyalty & Referrals

About the Role

HelloFresh's Loyalty & Referrals tribe owns two of the most strategic levers in the business: how we deepen relationships with customers we already have, and how we get those customers to bring in new ones. We're looking for a Principal Product Manager to anchor our loyalty program and partner across the tribe's broader work on referrals and virality.

The loyalty program is a points-based program where customers earn rewards for meaningful actions. Because it can attach points to any customer behavior, it's one of HelloFresh's most strategically important products and a lever for every product or commercial strategy we want to pursue.

You'll also work alongside the team leading our referrals program, one of HelloFresh's most important acquisition channels. Depending on where the greater need is when you join, you may also take ownership of specific initiatives in this space, including new virality mechanics beyond the traditional refer-a-friend model.

What You'll Do

• Own the vision, roadmap, and strategic direction for the loyalty program
• Ship the milestones that move the business near-term, and balance them against bets that pay off over a longer horizon
• Build the metric framework that connects customer behavior to program performance to commercial outcomes
• Partner closely with marketing and CRM counterparts on program communications, reward economics, and commercial strategy
• Manage external vendor relationships where they exist, evaluating partnerships continuously, and identifying where we build versus buy
• Engage directly with C-level and senior leadership to communicate program direction, decisions, and results
• Partner closely with the team leading referrals and virality — loyalty and referrals are closely related, and the strongest ideas span both

What You’ll Bring

• Significant experience as a product leader at a large-scale B2C company — you've built consumer products at scale and have strong intuition for customer behavior and emotional drivers
• Strong UX instincts and genuine opinions about what makes a great customer experience
• A data-driven, commercial mindset — programs that are too generous become liabilities, programs that are too stingy don't move customers, and you know how to find the right balance
• Executive presence: you're comfortable presenting to C-level stakeholders, defending strategic tradeoffs, and working at that level of visibility
• Experience working with marketing and CRM counterparts as close collaborators
• A driver of how we use AI — both in the products we ship to customers and in how we do the job of product management. We're looking for someone who pushes the team further on this, not someone who keeps up
• Experience with loyalty, rewards, or engagement programs is a plus but not a requirement
