The Coca‑Cola Company is transforming how its North America Supply Chain operates, using digital products to enable a supply chain that moves at the speed of the market. Our work connects planning, sourcing, manufacturing, and fulfillment into a responsive, reliable, and continuously improving network—one that must adapt quickly to change while operating at enterprise scale.

Our product organization is built on small, empowered teams with clear ownership and accountability, deeply connected to day‑to‑day operations and accountable for measurable outcomes. These teams partner closely with the business to turn complex workflows into scalable, outcome‑driven digital products—making digital a true source of competitive advantage.

Our supply chain spans company‑owned plants, warehouses, co‑manufacturing partners, suppliers, and distribution networks. This scale and complexity demand reliable, integrated digital platforms that improve visibility, decision‑making, and operational performance for the people running production and storage every day.

We are seeking a Director of Product Management as a senior individual contributor role responsible for setting product direction and resolving trade‑off decisions across one or more product teams within a broader product domain. While the Director may partner closely with a primary team, success is defined by outcomes across multiple teams, multiple domains, and/or dependent systems.

About The Role

The Director of Product Management - Manufacturing and Warehousing Operations owns the vision, strategic direction, and outcomes for a complex, cross‑domain product space. These problem spaces cut across planning, manufacturing, warehousing, and fulfillment, requiring coordination and trade‑off decisions no single product team can make independently. This role is accountable for decisions that span problem selection, investment sequencing, and long‑term product evolution. This role is also responsible for helping define how this domain is structured into product teams—shaping team missions, boundaries, and ownership to ensure the organization is set up to solve the right problems effectively.

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.

• Determine which problem spaces are in scope, which are out of scope, and how investments should be sequenced over time
• Help define and evolve product and platform team structure within the Manufacturing and Warehousing domain, including team missions, ownership boundaries, and areas of focus
• Own product decisions that directly impact frontline safety, throughput, labor efficiency, and operational reliability across manufacturing and warehousing sites.
• Translate enterprise and business strategy into clear product priorities and outcome based roadmaps
• Make and communicate trade‑offs across near‑term delivery, platform investment, and long‑term capability growth
• Establish clear success metrics tied to business impact, not outputs or feature volume

Discovery & Delivery Leadership

• Lead and model high‑quality product discovery, including research, data analysis, hypothesis development, and experimentation
• Ensure discovery effort is focused on the most valuable and strategically aligned problem spaces
• Translate insight into structured roadmaps, clear sequencing, and actionable guidance for the product team
• Partner closely with design and engineering to deliver solutions that are valuable, usable, feasible, and scalable
• Use performance data and feedback to validate decisions, refine direction, and drive continuous improvement

Enterprise Experience & Insight

• Build a strong understanding of how work happens across teams, systems, and workflows within the enterprise
• Ensure product experiences provide clarity, transparency, and guidance for decision‑making and execution
• Design solutions that reduce operational and cognitive complexity while improving confidence and outcomes
• Design product direction that accounts for operational variability, exceptions, and trade‑offs across plants and warehouses
• Identify opportunities to introduce insight, automation, or intelligent guidance as products and capabilities mature

Collaboration & Influence

• Partner closely with business leaders, technology, data, and adjacent product teams to align priorities and dependencies
• Serve as a senior product voice in cross‑functional discussions and complex decision forums
• Influence without authority in a matrixed environment, driving alignment around outcomes rather than outputs
• Communicate product direction, decisions, and trade‑offs with clarity and conviction
• Contribute to a culture of learning, accountability, and continuous improvement across the product organization

Product Craft, Transformation & Mentorship

• This role is expected to materially accelerate product maturity and adoption of the product operating model.
• Mentor Senior Product Managers and peers, modeling strong product judgment, discovery rigor, and outcome‑focused thinking.
• Play a critical role in advancing the product operating model, helping teams shift from output‑driven delivery to outcome‑driven product management.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
• 7+ years in product management or related fields (engineering, design, data, research)
• Proven success shaping complex digital products in large, matrixed environments
• Demonstrated experience making strategic product decisions that extend beyond a single feature set or roadmap
• Deep understanding of modern product discovery, delivery, and measurement practices
• Strong analytical and critical‑thinking skills, with comfort using data to inform decisions
• Excellent communication skills across technical and non‑technical audiences
• Experience contributing to or operating within a Product Operating Model
• Experience applying AI, automation, or advanced analytics to improve decision‑making or execution

Preferred Experience

• Advanced Degree
• Experience owning product domains, platforms, or multi‑capability problem spaces within a product team
• Familiarity with enterprise platforms, data‑enabled products, or workflow‑driven systems
• Experience working within large-scale platform or ERP-enabled environments
• Experience in distributed manufacturing or third-party production networks.
• Familiarity with data platforms and analytics-driven operational decision-making.
• Exposure to and experience in manufacturing systems or OT/IT integration such as MES, historians, SCADA, PLC‑adjacent systems, and OT/IT cybersecurity considerations
• Experience with distinct warehousing operational nuances (e.g., yard, dock, slotting, inventory accuracy, labor management, space utilization, and physical flow constraints)
• Experience in regulated or audit‑driven environments such as GMP / GFSI / FDA‑regulated environments where validation and change control matter
