Director, WMS Product Design and Engineering

About the role HelloFresh is searching for an action-oriented servant leader for our warehouse management system (WMS) Product Design and Software Engineering functions. This leader owns the full software delivery lifecycle for HelloFresh's global warehouse fulfillment and inventory control domain — from architecture and product design through engineering execution, quality assurance, and operational reliability. You will drive a culture of product & engineering excellence, leveraging modern agentic tooling and AI-assisted workflows to increase team velocity, reduce defect escape rates, and accelerate deployment confidence. You will collaborate closely with stakeholders across operations, automation/production technology, procurement, and finance to deliver innovative solutions on our strategic WMS platform — Infios's Warehouse Advantage (Körber/Highjump) — while balancing competing priorities and technical resource demand. This location-flexible position can be physically based in any of our North America corporate offices or fulfillment centers with a hybrid working model, but must be flexible with work hour scheduling as teams and solutions are dispersed globally. The Director of WMS Product Design and Software Engineering will work with key technology and product leaders across HelloFresh to enable the inventory management and control domain strategy, evaluate technology-related priorities, and translate stakeholder needs into actionable roadmaps. The ideal candidate combines impeccable management and communication skills with a practitioner's instinct for modern software delivery — knowing how to build high-performing teams, establish engineering health metrics, and integrate AI-assisted tooling that meaningfully accelerates quality and velocity.
