Senior UX Researcher II
About The Position
The Coca-Cola Company is building a digital product organization from the ground up, and user research is not an afterthought here. It is foundational. We are embedding researchers directly inside empowered, cross-functional product teams, where your work will shape what gets built, not just validating what has already shipped. This team is being built to model how The Coca-Cola Company approaches digital transformation globally. That means combining rigorous, forward-thinking research practice with the ability to deliver insight at the speed product teams actually need. We are looking for a researcher who knows how to use AI-powered synthesis tools and modern research methodologies to operate at scale across multiple teams simultaneously, without sacrificing depth or rigor. The people who join now will define how research works at The Coca-Cola Company and set the standard for how it scales worldwide. As a Senior UX Researcher II, you will own research across a meaningful product area and serve as a strategic thought partner to product, design, and engineering leaders across the organization. You will work on everything from consumer-facing digital experiences to the internal tools that power our sales, service, and operations teams, bringing insight that connects the dots across teams, not just within them. You will operate with real autonomy, real influence, and real accountability for the quality of decisions your research informs. Our product teams span the full digital stack of a global CPG business. Depending on your focus area, your research could inform: Consumer-facing digital experiences across The Coca-Cola Company's brand portfolio Sales and service workflows used by the field teams who serve our retail and foodservice partners Operational tools and platforms that connect the business end to end AI-enabled and intelligent product experiences as we integrate emerging capabilities into our products Problem spaces vary, but the expectation is consistent: you will get close to real users, generate insight that changes decisions, and do it in ways that make the whole team smarter over time.
