Role
Who you are
- You combine strong analytical skills with curiosity, ownership, and a genuine interest in how a business works. You are comfortable working in a fast-moving environment, enjoy solving complex problems in a structured way, and know how to turn numbers into clear insights and practical recommendations, supported by well-structured slides and strong visuals
- You have 2 to 4 years of relevant experience in FP&A, Investment Banking, Strategic Finance, Consulting, or a similarly analytical role
- You have strong financial modelling skills and are very confident in Excel and Google Sheets
- You use AI tools effectively, think proactively about automation, and can write your own SQL queries to pull data directly from source systems
- You understand how operational drivers translate into cash flow outcomes
- You are able to work independently, structure complex problems, and drive topics forward without constant guidance
- You are comfortable working cross-functionally and building trust with stakeholders from different teams, especially Accounting and Operations
- You thrive in fast-moving environments and like being close to decisions
What the job involves
- At HOLY, Finance goes beyond traditional finance by acting as an enabler and sparring partner to the business
- As a FP&A Manager, you will own HOLY's financial planning models across P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow - turning current operational activity into a clear, forward-looking view of where the business is heading. Your work gives leadership the data and analysis needed to manage growth, navigate risk, and make informed strategic decisions
- You will build and maintain the models behind our budget, reforecasts, and cash flow projections, and translate them into transparent and actionable insights. You will also do the analytical heavy lifting that enables cross-functional discussions with Marketing, Operations, and Commercial — pressure-testing assumptions and surfacing the insights that shape those conversations. This is a high-ownership role with room to grow into broader strategic finance responsibility as HOLY scales
- Support and further develop HOLY’s business planning and forecasting processes, which include consolidating inputs from the business and translating them into a coherent financial view
- Build, maintain, and improve financial models, update/challenge assumptions, and ensure the latest developments across revenue, marketing, operations, and overhead are reflected in the forecast. Ensure our planning capabilities scale with the size and complexity of the business
- Design and run scenario-based analyses to assess how strategic initiatives, market shifts, or operational changes would affect HOLY's business development and financial position
- Build, maintain, and continuously improve rolling cash flow forecasts and long-range liquidity models that provide a granular view of cash development. Run actual vs. forecast variance analyses, identify root causes, and communicate findings in a clear, actionable way
Application process
- As we are experiencing rapid growth and have ambitious plans, the optimal start date for the position is today. Nonetheless, we are prepared to patiently await the arrival of the ideal candidate, recognizing that quality ultimately yields the best results
- Getting to know you: We will have a 30 minute screening interview where we will talk to you more about HOLY and the position, and see if our expectations match
- Hiring Manager interview with Frank: We will dive a bit deeper into your experience and details of the role
- Case study & on-site interview: As soon as you have successfully completed the first interviews, you will receive a case study. In a third meeting at our office, the team will discuss your case study with you and answer questions about our workspace, the HOLY Temple. Here, you'll also get to know Felix, our CFO
- Interview with Fredi: As a strong cultural fit is important to us, you will have a final meeting with Fredi, one of our founders. This gives both you and us the opportunity for a final check
- Job offer and decision: If everything goes well, you will receive an offer, and we are ready to embark on this journey together with you!
- Typically, this process should take around 2-3 weeks
Our take
The soft drinks industry is big business, estimated to reach a value of over $600 billion by 2030. However, many of the biggest brands are full of unhealthy and unethically sourced ingredients that are not in line with the push for more sustainable products. HOLY is a German company that wants to disrupt the soft drink industry with healthier and more ethically sourced alternatives.
HOLY’s two flagship products are its energy drink and iced tea. With sugar and taurine-free ingredients, the products come in powder form, which saves 90% on packaging and significantly decreases the amount of CO2 emissions from manufacture and transport compared to canned drinks.
As with many soft drinks, HOLY’s branding is key. Its vivid designs and online presence increase its appeal for the gaming community, who would typically lean toward large competitors such as Monster Energy. With good funding at its back and a 2026 push into the UK market, HOLY is on the right path to compete with well-established rivals, having sold more than 10 million drinks solely via its online marketplace.
