About the Position
Creative excellence is a pillar of our strong HOLY brand, beloved by hundreds of thousands of HOLY Squad members. Our in-house creative studio sits at the heart of that, a cross-disciplinary team of designers, writers, and videographers producing work that builds the brand and drives real business results, turning new audiences into customers and customers into true brand enthusiasts.
As we accelerate our retail expansion across Germany and the UK, we're looking for a Sr. Graphic Designer – Retail to join our creative studio and lead the execution of HOLY’s physical brand experience at the point of sale. From floor displays and shelf banners to wobblers and retail packaging, you'll be the creative force that makes HOLY impossible to walk past, turning brand strategy into executions that stop shoppers in their tracks.
Responsibilities:
- Design and produce POS & retail display materials including free-standing floor displays, shelf banners, wobblers, and other in-store fixtures that command attention and drive purchase.
- Produce retail packaging for new product lines, flavor releases and unique brand collaborations.
- Build sales decks and brochures that serve as a key tool for our on-the-ground sales team, making it easy for retailers to understand our range and say yes to stocking HOLY.
- Take on fun side projects like custom car wraps, trade fair stands, and merch for our sales crew on the ground.
- Deliver production-ready print files across all retail formats, with a solid understanding of print requirements, color management, and structural guidelines to make sure what's designed is exactly what ends up on shelf.
- Work closely with the retail, supply chain and brand teams to ensure every execution is both commercially impactful and up to HOLY's high visual standards.
- Contribute to broader design projects as capacity allows, including web-shop product packaging, event activations, paid media ads, and other brand touch points.
About You
We're seeking an experienced designer who lives at the intersection of brand craft and commercial impact – someone who crafts work that stops shoppers in their tracks and understands why it performs on shelf.
- 5+ years of graphic design experience, with a strong background in retail or packaging design within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry – think drinks, snacks, or beauty brands.
- A degree in communication design, graphic design, or a related field – equivalent professional experience is equally welcome.
- Expert across the Adobe Creative Suite, particularly InDesign, which is the primary tool of the role. You know how to build efficient, scalable systems that help us move fast without compromising quality.
- A sharp eye for color, typography, layout, and space – you design with confidence across 2D formats and can naturally translate that into 3D thinking, visualizing how artwork wraps around a display unit, a bottle, or a shelf fixture before it goes to production.
- Detail-oriented and proactive, with a strong sense of ownership over your work. You manage your own workload, communicate proactively, and hold yourself to a high bar at every stage of the process.
- Fluency in English is a must. German language skills are a plus.
- Based in Berlin, with a hybrid work model (3+ days in the office).
Please submit your application in English.
