Job Description Summary:

Senior Director, Business Delivery - Coke ON

Team: Product & Operation — OU Digital, Japan & South Korea Operating Unit

Reports To: Senior Director, Product & Operation Lead

The Coca-Cola Company is evolving into a more digital-first, data-driven enterprise to fuel sustainable growth, increase speed to market, and unlock new sources of value. Rapid advances in technology, data, and AI create a unique opportunity to accelerate The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) system's next chapter of growth by reimagining our core competitive advantages. Building on a strong foundation of modernized infrastructure, global digital experiences, early data capabilities, and proven use cases, we are now shifting from early wins to scaled, end-to-end impact on growth, productivity, and efficiency.

This next phase moves us from an analog world to a fully digitized one, powered by a digital growth engine that embeds data, technology, and AI into our most critical business domains. Success will require more than technology implementation — it demands a strategic transformation of core capabilities, a domain-based, product-centric operating model, and a cultural shift toward experimentation, data and technology fluency, and seamless partnership between business and digital teams.

Within the Japan & South Korea Operating Unit, Coke ON is a unique digital asset in the global Coca-Cola system: Japan's proprietary consumer loyalty platform operating on the world's highest-density vending machine network. JKOU is transforming Coke ON from a vending loyalty app into an omnichannel consumer engagement platform — personalizing rewards and content at the individual user level, expanding loyalty beyond vending, gamifying the experience, and building brand-led communities. This transformation makes Coke ON both a significant growth engine and a critical point of differentiation for JKOU's business performance.
