About HOLY
HOLY is the soft drink revolution: With our product lines Energy®, Iced Tea®, Hydration®, Milkshake®, and our newest innovation, the HOLY Syrup Bottle® you get amazing taste across 50+ flavors while maintaining a good conscience—for your body & the environment.
Over 2M loyal customers: Started in a shared apartment by three best friends, we have scaled to Europe's fastest growing consumer brand—and our cult-like community, the HOLY Squad, loves it: 4.6 stars on reviews.io speak for themselves.
From D2C to Global Omnichannel: In less than four years, we've profitably scaled HOLY to more than €180M D2C revenue in DACH, FR, UK and PL. Now scaling our retail business, we're on an exciting transition to becoming a true omnichannel rocketship.
We are still just getting started: Backed by the world's best consumer investors, we aim to revolutionize the soft drink industry and build a generational love brand: tastier, healthier & more sustainable. Our team of 200+ people aims high (Coca-Cola, we're coming for you!).
About the Position
As HOLY grows from a D2C rocketship into a true omnichannel consumer brand, merchandise has become a key driver of campaign virality and customer loyalty — but our supplier base, quality processes and product data haven't yet scaled with that growth.
We're hiring a Senior Merchandise Sourcing Manager to own merchandise end-to-end: sourcing and negotiating campaign drops, building a long-term strategic supplier network for evergreen products, and putting scalable quality, compliance and product-data foundations in place.
You'll partner closely with Design, Campaign/Brand & Activations, and Finance to turn merchandise into a reliable, well-governed engine rather than a series of one-off projects. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to build sourcing infrastructure from the ground up at one of Europe's fastest-growing consumer brands.
Responsibilities:
Merchandise for Campaigns, Events & Collaborations
Own end-to-end procurement for campaign, event and collaboration merchandise — from supplier selection and negotiation through production follow-up, MOQ and capacity management, to on-time delivery. Partner closely with Design and Campaigns to challenge specifications and translate ideas into feasible, manufacturable products, without owning the overall product concept or creative direction.
Strategic Supplier Portfolio
Build long-term strategic partnerships for evergreen products — continuously improving cost, quality and lead times — while taking a faster, more flexible approach with greater supplier optionality for campaign merchandise. Own framework agreements, contracts and NDAs, and build a preferred supplier portfolio and supplier guideline that scale across product categories.
Quality & Compliance Frameworks
Define quality standards and scalable QA processes — defect handling, root-cause analysis, and multi-country labeling and certification compliance — with Operational Procurement supporting day-to-day execution. Act as a key point of contact, together with Operational Procurement, for merchandise quality issues from CS, retail and customers.
Product Data & Cross-Functional Enablement
Own the merchandise product taxonomy, attributes and cross-sell relationships, feeding enriched product data to Design and Campaign/Activation teams; equip Finance with landed cost sheets and PO/commitment reporting, and support freight/forwarder decisions together with Operational Procurement to keep shipping costs and timelines on track.
Continuous Improvement
Build repeatable sourcing processes and supplier performance metrics that let merchandise scale with HOLY's international growth.
