HOLY is Europe's fastest-growing consumer brand, scaling from a D2C rocketship (€180M+ revenue across DACH, France, UK, Poland) into an omnichannel powerhouse. The company produces premium soft drinks across five product lines (Energy, Iced Tea, Hydration, Milkshake, and Syrup Bottle) with 50+ flavors, backed by world-class consumer investors and a cult-like community of 2M+ loyal customers.
As merchandise becomes a key driver of campaign virality and customer loyalty, the company is building scalable sourcing infrastructure. You will own merchandise end-to-end: sourcing and negotiating campaign drops, building a long-term strategic supplier network for evergreen products, and establishing quality, compliance, and product-data foundations.
Key Responsibilities:
**Merchandise Procurement for Campaigns & Collaborations**: Own end-to-end procurement from supplier selection and negotiation through production follow-up, MOQ and capacity management, to on-time delivery. Partner with Design and Campaign teams to translate creative ideas into feasible, manufacturable products.
**Strategic Supplier Portfolio**: Build long-term partnerships for evergreen products while maintaining flexibility for campaign merchandise. Own framework agreements, contracts, NDAs, and develop a preferred supplier portfolio and guidelines that scale across categories.
**Quality & Compliance Frameworks**: Define quality standards and scalable QA processes including defect handling, root-cause analysis, and multi-country labeling/certification compliance. Serve as key contact for merchandise quality issues from customer service, retail, and end customers.
**Product Data & Cross-Functional Enablement**: Own merchandise product taxonomy and attributes, feeding enriched data to Design and Campaign teams. Provide Finance with landed-cost sheets and PO/commitment reporting. Support freight and forwarder decisions to optimize shipping costs and timelines.
**Continuous Improvement**: Build repeatable sourcing processes and supplier performance metrics to enable merchandise scaling with HOLY's international growth.
You'll partner closely with Design, Campaign/Brand & Activations, and Finance to transform merchandise from one-off projects into a reliable, well-governed engine. This is a high-ownership role for someone energized by building infrastructure from the ground up at a hypergrowth consumer brand.
**Requirements:**
- 5+ years in merchandise, packaging, or promotional-product sourcing/procurement with proven success negotiating supplier contracts and pricing across multiple countries
- Established relationships with manufacturers across EU and Asia (or demonstrated ability to build them quickly), balancing cost, quality, lead time, and compliance
- Experience setting up QA frameworks, defect/root-cause processes, and multi-country labeling and certification requirements
- Comfort building landed-cost models (unit price + freight + duties + insurance) and PO/commitment tracking to support Finance
- Proven ability to partner with Design, Brand/Campaign, and Finance teams while managing multiple fast-moving campaign timelines simultaneously
- Builder mindset: energized by creating scalable processes, documentation, and supplier guidelines from scratch in fast-paced, high-growth environments
- Fluent in English (German a plus)
