About the Role
We are seeking an experienced creative individual to independently lead the creative strategy in performance marketing for HelloFresh DACH, one of our largest and most demanding markets. This role combines data-driven performance marketing, brand communication, and a global creative steering system. You will be the central creative voice for DACH, actively shaping brand and market launch planning rather than just implementing directives.
Responsibilities
- Lead the DACH Performance Creative Strategy within a global, brand-defined messaging framework, translating positioning pillars into performance-native creative angles, channel-specific formats, and funnel execution across MoF, BoF, and ToF.
- Ensure DACH monthly concept goals are met, local assets are integrated into the central pipeline, and learnings are systematically fed back into global briefing cycles as the central interface in the global Paid Social Creative Governance Framework.
- Manage DACH partnership and creator assets in a sprint model, ensuring concept diversity and variation standards.
- Oversee the DACH Creative Testing Hierarchy (Level 1-3) and develop a structured iteration approach with an 80/20 split between new creatives and iterations, adapted to performance and seasonal peaks.
- Systematically analyze performance data such as Hook Rate, CPM, CTR, CAC, and Conversion Rate, translating them into clear creative priorities per sprint, including informed decisions on where to invest or iterate.
- Collaborate closely with Creator, Affiliate, and Offline Channel Managers to ensure the implementation of channel-native, target-audience-appropriate creative assets, while utilizing AI tools to accelerate ideation, iteration, and scalable creative workflows.
- Actively participate in GTM and Product Launch planning, contributing performance perspectives early in the creative direction process to align paid and brand strategies and systematically incorporate messaging tests into positioning work.
- Ensure alignment between creative direction and media budget blueprints in close collaboration with the Growth Media Strategy Manager, represent DACH priorities in central planning rounds, and databasedly and culturally challenge global creative outputs when they do not fit the market.
Requirements
- Native German speaker with secure command of linguistic and cultural nuances in the DACH region.
- 5+ years of experience in Performance Creative Strategy, Creative Planning, or Paid Media Content Strategy.
- Proficient in GTM setups and strategic decision-making rounds.
- Deep Paid Social expertise, including concept structuring, variation logic, funnel thinking, and platform-specific implementation on Meta, TikTok, and YouTube.
- Strong data competency, with the ability to analyze performance metrics (Hook Rate, CPM, CTR, CAC, Conversion Rates) and translate them into concrete creative decisions.
- Experience in governance and marketing interfaces, including working closely with Brand and Product Marketing.
- Excellent agency and stakeholder management skills, including precise briefings, clear feedback, and consistent steering of external partners towards performance goals.
- AI and Commercial Fluency: Utilizing AI for scaling ideas, iteration, and workflows, and making data-driven, business-oriented budget and performance decisions.
