IT Operations Manager

About HOLY

• HOLY is the soft drink revolution: With our powdered drinks HOLY Energy, HOLY Hydration, and HOLY Iced Tea, 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 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, and the UK. 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 100+ people aims high (Coca-Cola, we're coming for you).

About the Position

HOLY is exploding in growth, emerging as Europe's fastest-growing consumer brand. Now our IT infrastructure has to sprint just as fast. As our IT Operations Manager, you'll professionalize how we manage devices, access, security, and compliance. You'll own the systems that keep 130+ people productive and secure, building an auditable, scalable IT backbone that supports our next phase of growth.

This isn't about keeping the lights on. It's about building the foundation for a company scaling for operational excellence—without losing our speed.

Responsibilities:

• IT Infrastructure & Hardware Management: Own meeting-room audio-visual (AV), Wi-Fi, and telephones at the temple; transition to owned hardware; maintain inventory/pricing/contract docs and manage returns (e.g., 100+ devices).
• Onboarding & Access Management: Set up new colleagues with hardware, SIM cards, and account access; ensure secure provisioning and deprovisioning of software and systems.
• Cybersecurity & Compliance: Implement IT security standards (password policies, device encryption, MFA), ensure compliance with relevant regulations, and reduce risks from unmanaged devices.
• Vendor & Provider Relations: Manage relationships with Topi, Deeploi, Grover, 1&1, and other IT service providers to streamline procurement and support. Serve as the primary point of contact for all vendor inquiries, especially during org audits.
• IT Helpdesk & Governance: Primary contact for troubleshooting to minimize downtime for on-site and remote teams; document and enforce IT security/onboarding/offboarding policies with an auditable compliance log (e.g., ticketing system with approval workflow for access and data provisioning)
• Scalability Projects: Build processes and systems to support HOLY's scale-up phase (128+ people, +20 new hires), preparing for future infrastructure growth. (e.g Quarterly backup & restore, Phishing-resistant MFA on SSO, MDM baselines, enhanced Office Security Systems, etc.)

About You

• Technical Proficiency: Solid understanding of IT systems, hardware procurement, device management tools (MDM), and troubleshooting across platforms.
• Process Orientation: You build scalable systems and document workflows. You think in systems, not one-off fixes.
• Security Mindset: You understand IT risks, proactively implement security practices, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Problem-Solving: You diagnose and resolve technical issues quickly, with minimal hand-holding.
• Collaboration & Communication: You explain IT processes clearly to non-technical colleagues. You're a partner, not a gatekeeper.
• Adaptability: You're comfortable with change in a fast-scaling company. You improve processes proactively, not reactively.
• Ownership Mentality: You take responsibility for IT infrastructure. You ensure smooth operations without constant oversight.
• Language Proficiency: Fluency in English and German is a must. You are able to communicate business needs effectively in both languages.
