Role
Who you are
- We are looking for a highly autonomous, hands-on BI leader who combines strong data engineering skills with business judgment
- Hands-on data engineering – 5+ years building production-grade data infrastructure; very strong SQL and data modeling skills; experience with modern ELT/ETL tooling (e.g., dbt, Airflow or similar)
- End-to-end ownership – Able to design and implement business objects (e.g., LTV, CM3, inventory turnover) across staging, transformation, and semantic layers
- Data quality mindset – Strong testing and validation instincts; takes ownership of production issues until resolved
- Business-technical translation – Turns ambiguous requests into clear specifications and explains tradeoffs in plain language
- Strong judgment in ambiguity – Can make architectural decisions balancing short-term needs and long-term scalability
- Standards enforcer – Builds the “right way” first and aligns others to follow the patterns
- Fluency in English is a must, German is a plus
What the job involves
- HOLY is scaling fast across markets, channels, and product lines — and data quality, speed, and trust have become a core competitive advantage.
- As our BI Lead, you will own HOLY’s single source of truth for business data
- You will architect and maintain a reliable, governed analytics foundation across finance, marketing, operations, retail, fulfillment, and inventory.
- Your work enables executives and teams to steer the business with CM3-level insights and SKU-level performance visibility — and empowers “data champions” across departments to answer questions independently through self-serve and AI-queryable data layers
- Architecture & reliability – Own and evolve HOLY’s unified data infrastructure and core models; migrate critical dashboards and reporting with high reliability and minimal disruption
- Data quality ownership – Implement validation frameworks, monitoring, and alerting to catch errors before they affect reporting and decisions
- Omnichannel modeling – Build scalable omni-channel data models spanning customers, orders, products, retail, fulfillment, and inventory, enabling CM3-level and SKU-level analyses
- Self-serve enablement – Create self-service capabilities, documentation, and guardrails so stakeholders can work independently without breaking standards
- Governance & standards – Establish and enforce naming conventions, data contracts, and governance rules through working implementations
- AI-queryable layer – Design and implement semantic / AI-queryable layers that return accurate answers to natural language questions
- External resource management – Manage external data engineering resources and ensure deliverables meet HOLY’s standards and business needs
Application process
- 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 Daniel: Daniel, our Director of Shop, CRM & Data will dive a bit deeper into your experience and the 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 second meeting at our office, the team will discuss your case study with you and answer questions about our workspace, the HOLY Temple
- Interview with Matze: As a strong cultural fit is important to us, you will have a final meeting with Matze, our CEO & CO-Founder. 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, his 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, HOLY is on the right path to compete with well-established rivals, having sold more than 10 million drinks solely via its online marketplace.
