Director, Tech Lead, Retail Sales Experience

About the Role Digital products play a central role in how we create value for customers, support the teams who serve them, and shape the consumer experience. Our product organization brings together small, empowered teams that move with clarity, speed, and purpose, enabling digital to be a meaningful source of advantage across Coca‑Cola’s North America Operating Unit. Our work spans customer journeys, service delivery, sales workflows, and the platforms that connect them. We are raising our standards for product craft and rebuilding the systems behind these experiences. As a Software Engineer, you will serve as the tech lead on an empowered product team, partnering with Product and Design to solve meaningful problems and deliver measurable outcomes. This role is for engineers who want to shape solutions, not just implement them. What You Will Work On Build user‑centered, enterprise software that directly improves how sales teams work with customers. Engineers on the Sales Experience team partner closely with users, product, design and other stakeholders to design, build, and evolve connected tools, data, and workflows used daily by sales teams. You will build solutions across the North America Operating Unit across Retail, Food Service, and finance teams. The work spans experimentation, systems thinking, and continuous improvement. You will be responsible for optimizing business outcomes like profitable volume growth, productivity, execution quality, and customer impact rather than technology for its own sake.
