The role

Foundations Alliance’s mission is to accelerate the delivery of high-quality, scalable, and highly available digital products at HelloFresh. We do this by providing services and platforms that improve our internal builders’ organisation productivity and the reliability of our applications and our data.
For our alliance we are seeking a highly technical and strategic Product Manager to own the vision, strategy, and execution of our core data processing and streaming platform. You will be at the center of our data ecosystem, responsible for ensuring that high-quality data from our systems is made available seamlessly for both real-time applications and downstream analytics. You will also ensure that those events can be connected with other sources, e.g. front-end generated data.
Your core mission is to minimize data pipeline latency and maximize data observability coverage. You will define the roadmap for our data platform infrastructure (Kafka, Flink, S3, Databricks, Snowflake) and work cross-functionally with engineering, backend teams, data analysts and data consumers to build solutions that are easy to use, reliable, and trustworthy.

Above all, we are looking for people who will make HelloFresh better. We believe there are many different ways of developing skills and we love diverse experiences! So even if you don’t "tick all the boxes” but think you’d thrive in this role, we would really like to learn more about you.

What you’ll do

• Define and communicate product vision and long-term strategy for the data streaming and processing platform and align it with our broader personalisation and app engagement strategies.
• Take full ownership of the platform's main KPIs, define metrics, set targets, and drive the roadmap to improve them.
• Develop and manage a prioritized product roadmap, balancing a "thinnest possible platform” approach with long-term platform health, reliability, and scalability.
• Collaborate closely with backend engineering teams to define, automate and enforce data contracts, ensuring high-quality events are produced at the source.
• Guide the development of our real-time streaming capabilities to power a customer profile for in-product features, alerts, and real-time monitoring.
• Oversee the data lifecycle for analytics, ensuring data lands accurately and efficiently in our data lake and is optimized for consumption in our Lakehouse.
• Champion and expand our data observability practice. Automate monitoring of data freshness, volume, distribution, and lineage.
• Act as the primary point of contact between platform engineers and data consumers (analysts, data scientists, and other product teams). Translate business needs into technical requirements and vice-versa.

What you’ll bring

• You are an experienced Product Manager (7+ years) who is passionate about and familiar with data platforms, data engineering, developer platforms, or an adjacent highly technical domain. You have a deep understanding of data processing paradigms and modern data architectures.
• You are familiar with the core components of our tech stack, like Streaming, Cloud & Data Lake, and Data Warehouses.
• You have a proven track record of defining and driving key product metrics, especially technical KPIs like latency, uptime, and data quality.
• You have demonstrated analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down complex technical problems into actionable steps.
• You have a track record of working with a wide range of stakeholders, influencing and aligning both technical and non-technical stakeholders, from engineers to senior executives.
