About this role
The Coca-Cola Company is evolving how we create value through digital products-shifting to a modern Product Operating Model built on empowered teams, clear ownership, and measurable outcomes. Our product teams work close to real users and real business problems, turning complex workflows, decisions, and experiences into scalable digital capabilities that drive impact across the enterprise.
As this model matures, we need senior individual contributors who do more than deliver strong products-we need product leaders who shape direction, raise the bar on product craft, and help teams focus on the work that matters most.
We are seeking a Director of Product Management to own the strategy, scope, and outcomes for a defined product team. This is a senior individual contributor role: you will be embedded with a single product team while operating at a higher altitude-defining what problems are worth solving, how the product should evolve over time, and how product excellence shows up in practice.
About the Role
The Director of Product Management owns the vision, strategic direction, and outcomes for a portfolio of related product capabilities, delivered through a single product team. While partnered with one product team, this role is accountable for decisions that span problem selection, investment sequencing, and long-term product evolution-not just execution within a backlog.
In this role, you will set clear product direction across multiple related problem spaces, help define what is in scope, out of scope, and why and ensure product investments deliver leverage and coherence over time. You will serve as a senior product voice in complex and ambiguous decisions.
You will work closely with engineering, design, data, and business partners to translate strategy into focused, outcome-driven product direction. You will also act as a coach, mentor, and craft leader, helping elevate product thinking, discovery quality, and decision-making across the team and broader product community.
This role is ideal for an experienced product leader who enjoys shaping direction, mentoring others, and influencing outcomes at scale-without direct people management responsibility.
