About the Role

The position is crucial for driving HelloFresh and Factor's discovery and selection in the evolving digital landscape.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end product strategy for organic discovery, technical SEO, content infrastructure, GEO, and AI visibility.
- Manage the early Agentic Commerce surface to convert discovery into action within LLMs.
- Set the direction for a cross-functional squad including Product, Engineering, Data/ML, SEO, Content/Editorial, and UX.
- Act as the connective tissue across Marketing, Brand, PR, and Commercial.
- Drive technical and content SEO across HelloFresh and Factor, focusing on crawlability, indexation, structured data, internal linking, SSR, sitemaps, and CMS infrastructure.
- Scale content production for recipe detail pages, automated recipe collections, editorial/blog, internationalization, and UGC signals while maintaining quality.
- Identify and build pages for high-volume recipe and food queries where HelloFresh currently has no presence.
- Own AI visibility and citation share across platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.
- Achieve a +25ppt GEO Visibility Score target for HelloFresh and Factor by EOY 2026.
- Develop GEO-specific content formats, manage narrative-shaping editorial, and coordinate signals across owned, editorial, PR/affiliate, and social surfaces.
- Operationalize 'good SEO is good GEO' and implement GEO-specific tactics like comparison content and non-Google LLM optimization.
- Extend organic discovery to convert through Agentic Commerce, connecting GEO presence to action within LLMs.
- Partner with New Ventures on the Discovery MCP / ChatGPT App and related platforms, shaping funnel and active-experience coverage.
- Route food-intent traffic into the Cooking Companion / Cookbook experience to increase daily active users.
- Own an integrated, prioritized organic discovery roadmap connecting content, product, engineering, data, and AI measurement.
- Set the standard for product thinking, experimentation rigor, and quality-first sequencing within the squad.
- Drive alignment across Marketing, Brand, PR, and Commercial on messaging and organic success metrics.
Requirements
- 6+ years in product management with hands-on ownership of technical and content SEO at scale.
- Experience with indexation, structured data, internal linking, SSR, content infrastructure, and large content programs.
- Proven ability to increase non-branded organic traffic for a large, content-rich site.
- Demonstrable understanding of how LLMs retrieve, cite, and repeat brand narratives, and how to influence them.
- Experience with AI-citable content formats, third-party signal building, and measurement of AI visibility.
- Experience shipping content automation, CMS/platform migrations, or publishing infrastructure.
- Experience working with Data/ML for tagging, deduplication, and quality guardrails.
- Comfortable using search analytics, GSC, Ahrefs/STAT-type tooling, and funnel data.
- Ability to work backwards from user intent and defend decisions with evidence.
- High agency and ownership; ability to diagnose, decide, and drive in ambiguous, fast-moving spaces.
- Ability to influence and align stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Marketing, Brand, PR, and Commercial without direct authority.
- Communicate at publication quality.
