Description

About HOLY HOLY is the soft drink revolution: With our powdered drinks HOLY Energy®, HOLY Hydration®, HOLY Iced Tea®, and HOLY Milkshake® 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 €150M 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 150+ people aims high (Coca-Cola, we're coming for you!). About the Position At HOLY, Tax is a growth enabler, not a back-office blocker. We’re looking for a pragmatic, business-minded Tax Manager to own our tax topics end-to-end and help us scale across markets with speed and confidence. The mission as Tax Manager is to translate complex tax requirements into clear, actionable guidance for the business — ensuring compliance, optimizing outcomes, and building scalable processes while enabling bold, high-speed decision-making. Responsibilities: Own day-to-day tax management across the group (e.g. VAT, corporate income tax, trade tax), partnering closely with Accounting and Legal. Lead VAT / indirect tax topics, including registrations, periodic returns, reconciliations, and improvements to processes and data quality. Coordinate filings and deadlines with internal stakeholders and external advisors, ensuring accurate and on-time submissions. Support month-end and year-end close (e.g. tax provisions) with clean, audit-ready documentation. Be a proactive business partner for cross-functional teams by assessing tax implications of new initiatives, contracts, promotions, and market entries. Drive scalable tax processes and controls, including documentation standards, templates, and tooling to make tax “self-serve” where appropriate. Monitor regulatory changes and translate them into practical guidance, training, and process updates for the organization. About You You are a hands-on, structured problem-solver who sees tax as a key element to build the business — not to slow it down. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, bring strong ownership, and communicate clearly with both finance experts and non-finance stakeholders. You can balance compliance rigor with pragmatic decision-making, and you enjoy improving processes as the company scales. What you bring: Excellent communication skills in both German and English are a must. Degree in tax, finance, law, or comparable qualification (Steuerberater:in is a strong plus). 4+ years of relevant tax experience (in-house and/or tax advisory), ideally in a fast-growing B2C/D2C company in Germany. Strong practical knowledge of the German tax landscape. Familiarity with VAT / indirect tax topics in a European context is a plus. Experience working with external advisors and auditors; ability to manage timelines and deliver high-quality outputs. Confidence working with accounting data and systems + solid Excel / Google Sheets skills. Business-oriented, pragmatic mindset with a clear “get-it-done” attitude.
