Senior Product Delivery Manager, Production (f/m/x)

The role

We are seeking a dynamic, hands-on Senior Product Delivery Manager at HelloFresh. This role is pivotal to the future of our fulfillment network. You will be at the helm of further developing and deploying a high-profile, highly complex strategic project that fundamentally redefines our production methods and capabilities across our DCs.

Working closely with Tech and Operations Leadership, you will be responsible for taking our new, next-generation production setup and refining its processes, equipment, and layouts. Once optimized, you will lead the charge in deploying this new operational blueprint into other DCs across our international markets.
