S'more about the team

We’re seeking a detail-oriented and collaborative Product Operations Specialist to help drive the success of key product initiatives across our HelloFresh and Chefs Plate brands. In this role, you’ll play a vital part in ensuring our customer-facing content—both print and digital—is accurate, engaging, and aligned with brand standards. Reporting to the Manager, Product Operations, you’ll orchestrate key digital assets such as photography and menu content, partnering closely with our offshore team to ensure seamless and timely execution of weekly responsibilities.

Beyond day-to-day execution, you’ll also contribute to backlog projects that support the evolution and innovation of our brands, helping to identify and implement process improvements that drive efficiency and scalability. By collaborating across internal and global teams, your work will directly enhance the customer experience and support HelloFresh’s mission to deliver high-quality meals.

• Content & Quality Management: Oversee weekly recipe and menu content workflows, ensuring high-quality, accurate, and engaging customer-facing materials (print & digital).
• Process Optimization & Tech Support: Drive workflow efficiency by identifying and addressing operational bottlenecks in collaboration with cross-functional teams. Leverage internal tools, resolve system bugs, and support critical technical issues.
• Internal Tool Expert: Serve as a key expert in internal tools and content systems, using this expertise to support teams, optimize processes, and champion continuous improvement initiatives.

• All other duties, as assigned

Sound a-peeling? Here's what we're looking for

• 2–3 years of experience in a fast-paced, dynamic environment (bonus points for experience or education in food, content editing, or related fields).
• Strong attention to detail—you notice the small things that others might miss.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to clearly escalate issues, work cross-functionally, and liaise with stakeholders across levels, including leadership.
• Advanced proficiency in Google Sheets, including complex formulas and data manipulation; experience building or improving internal tools and dashboards.
• Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities and weekly deadlines.
• Proactive and solutions-oriented—you take ownership, anticipate challenges, and continuously look for ways to improve processes.
• Comfortable working independently, with strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with SQL or a strong interest in learning is considered a valuable asset.

Whether this role is based out of our headquarters or one of our distribution centers, it is possible that you may be exposed to such allergens in this role. If you have any concerns with being exposed to any particular food ingredients, including meat, please disclose this during the hiring process.
