The Head of Engineering & Platforms is the senior leader responsible for building and scaling the product management team for core Customer and Commercial Experience platforms and the engineering capability that powers digital products for North America. This is a foundational, entrepreneurial role: this engineering organization is in its infancy, and this leader will take it from 0 → 1, establishing the Product Operating Model culture, systems, and technical backbone for how we build software going forward in the largest operating unit ($18Bn+) in The Coca-Cola Company. This leader sets the engineering vision and technical strategy across the Customer Experience Landscape, ensuring our products and platforms are resilient, secure, scalable, and designed for high-velocity iteration. They will build modern engineering teams, elevate engineering excellence, and establish a platform architecture that accelerates product discovery, delivery and the ability to measure outcomes across multiple markets, bottlers, and global ecosystems. The Head of Engineering & Platforms is a critical partner to leaders across the enterprise within both North America and the globe. Together, they shape integrated digital experiences and ensure engineering is tightly embedded in discovery, experimentation, and the delivery of customer, partner, and associate facing solutions. This role requires deep technical judgment, business acumen, a product-oriented mindset, and the ability to build and scale engineering capabilities in a complex, multi-entity operating environment. The leader will define not just how we build technology, but how technology creates true business value and a strategic advantage for the System.
