About The Position

The Sr. Director, Cyber Solutions & PMO Operations leads the delivery of a large, multi-year program to modernize cyber defense and enterprise resilience across The Coca-Cola Company. The role is accountable for the end-to-end program management of this initiative — charter, plan, milestones, dependencies, risks, budget, and executive reporting — and for the disciplined PMO operations that keep a highly complex, highly visible program on track. A defining focus of the program is Artificial Intelligence — both leveraging AI to modernize the Company's defensive capabilities and enterprise resilience, and hardening the Company against AI-enabled threats and misuse. The Sr. Director orchestrates the work of Cyber, Enterprise Technology, business, and external delivery partners to ensure this modernization delivers measurable outcomes at Coca-Cola scale. This is an individual-contributor role. The Director leads through influence rather than direct authority, working across a networked global organization to align senior stakeholders, remove obstacles, and drive execution. The role reports to the Senior Director, Cyber Defense / Deputy CISO within the Chief Information Security Office.
