- You’ll take full ownership of the end-to-end payables process, ensuring invoices are correctly reviewed, allocated, and paid on time. You’ll also supervise two A/P accountants, reviewing their work for accuracy and consistency
- You will manage our corporate credit card and expense platform. This includes enforcing company policy, reviewing reimbursement requests, and ensuring receipts are uploaded and compliant
- You’ll maintain and improve our supplier and vendor master data, oversee onboarding, and ensure documentation is always accurate and up to date
- You’ll assist in B2B processes, support timely follow-up on outstanding payments, and collaborate with the retail team to resolve discrepancies

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, HOLY is on the right path to compete with well-established rivals, having sold more than 10 million drinks solely via its online marketplace.
