About the Position

HOLY is growing fast: with new product launches, expanding retail partnerships, and an ever-increasing customer base driving demand across all channels.

To keep pace with this momentum, we are looking for a Logistics Manager with a clear focus on Retail and a strong connection to D2C Logistics.

• Maintain clear SOPs, documentation, and performance reporting for internal visibility.

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Act as the communication bridge between Logistics, Inside Sales, Retail, E-Commerce, Customer Service, Supply Chain, and external partners.
• Keep stakeholders informed of critical operational updates, risks, and changes.
• Lead root-cause investigations and coordinate quick resolutions to protect customer experience.

Process Improvement & Scalability

• Improve recurring logistics workflows across Retail and D2C.
• Identify efficiency and cost-reduction opportunities and track implementation progress.
• Help build scalable logistics playbooks for HOLY's omnichannel growth.

About You

• Retail-Ops-Ownership: You take full end-to-end responsibility for retail order readiness and OTIF performance, proactively steering against deviations before they become escalations.
• 3PL & partner management: Proven experience managing fulfillment partners operationally - holding them to SLAs, resolving deviations in speed, accuracy or cost quickly and calmly.
• Cross-functional coordination: Comfortable acting as the bridge between Logistics, Retail, E-Commerce, Customer Service and Supply Chain, keeping stakeholders aligned even when things move fast.
• Analytical & KPI-driven: Skilled at turning partner reports and internal dashboards into actionable insights, spotting risks and recurring issues early.
• Language proficiency: Fluency in English and German is a must.
