Senior Director, Cyber Solutions & PMO operations

Job Description Summary: Overview The Sr. Director, Cyber Solutions & PMO Operations leads the delivery of a large, multi-year program to modernize cyber defense and enterprise resilience across The Coca-Cola Company. The role is accountable for the end-to-end program management of this initiative — charter, plan, milestones, dependencies, risks, budget, and executive reporting — and for the disciplined PMO operations that keep a highly complex, highly visible program on track. A defining focus of the program is Artificial Intelligence — both leveraging AI to modernize the Company's defensive capabilities and enterprise resilience, and hardening the Company against AI-enabled threats and misuse. The Sr. Director orchestrates the work of Cyber, Enterprise Technology, business, and external delivery partners to ensure this modernization delivers measurable outcomes at Coca-Cola scale. This is an individual-contributor role. The Director leads through influence rather than direct authority, working across a networked global organization to align senior stakeholders, remove obstacles, and drive execution. The role reports to the Senior Director, Cyber Defense / Deputy CISO within the Chief Information Security Office. Key Responsibilities Program Leadership Own end-to-end delivery of the cyber defense and enterprise resilience modernization program, translating executive vision into a clear multi-year roadmap, milestones, and measurable outcomes. Establish and maintain the program charter, scope, dependencies, and success criteria in partnership with the CISO, Deputy CISO, and enterprise technology leaders. Sequence workstreams and investments across a portfolio of interdependent initiatives, ensuring the program stays coherent as priorities and technology shift. Drive execution to committed milestones, actively unblocking teams and escalating decisions to keep the program on pace. PMO Operations Run disciplined program-management operations: integrated plan, dependencies, budget and financial tracking, resource plan, RAID log (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Decisions), and change control. Manage workstream intake, prioritization, and dependency governance across the program's portfolio of initiatives, ensuring new demands are sequenced against capacity and critical path. Design and stand up the program's governance structure (steering group, decision forums, working sessions, and escalation paths) with clear decision rights, cadences, and accountability appropriate to a highly visible enterprise program. Set standards for planning quality, artifacts, and metrics across the program's workstreams; hold workstream leaders to those standards through influence, coaching, and executive visibility. Manage the program budget and forecast with rigor, partnering with Finance and Procurement on approvals, capitalization, and vendor spend. Own the program's executive reporting capabilities (dashboards, scorecards, milestone narratives, and executive reporting materials) ensuring leadership has continuous, decision-ready visibility into program progress, risks, investment performance, and value delivered. AI Enablement & Defense Focus Ensure the program consistently identifies opportunities to leverage AI — including agentic and automation capabilities — to modernize defense, resilience, and operations. Ensure the program's designs and deliverables address defense against AI-enabled threats, AI misuse, and emerging AI risks in partnership with the CISO organization and the AI Risk Governance Council. Coordinate with the Chief AI Office, Data & AI, Legal, and Privacy so that AI-related program decisions are consistent with the Company's broader AI risk and governance posture. Enterprise Technology Integration Partner with the CISO leadership function leads, Platform Services, Data, IT Core, and Application Owners to ensure program deliverables integrate cleanly with the Company's technology landscape. Bring practical, hands-earned experience of large enterprise technology delivery to program decisions — architecture trade-offs, build-vs-buy, cloud adoption, integration, data, and change adoption. Ensure program deliverables are designed and delivered with resilience, operability, and long-term supportability in mind. Executive Engagement & Stakeholder Management Serve as the program's senior operating leader with executive stakeholders across the CISO organization, Enterprise Technology, Finance, Legal, Privacy, HR, Communications, and the Bottling System. Prepare and deliver clear, executive-framed reporting to the CISO, Deputy CISO, and enterprise leadership on program progress, risks, and decisions required. Support steering committee and board-adjacent updates with credible narratives, data, and options. Build durable trust with senior leaders so that difficult trade-offs can be surfaced and resolved quickly. Vendor & Delivery Partner Management Manage relationships with major implementation and technology partners, holding them accountable to outcomes, SLAs, and value delivered. Coordinate with Procurement, Legal, and Privacy on contracts, statements of work, change orders, and third-party risk requirements. Balance the mix of internal and external delivery capacity to keep the program cost-effective and on pace. Cross-Functional Influence Lead a virtual program team of workstream leaders, subject-matter experts, and delivery partners without direct-reporting authority. Set clear expectations, hold others accountable, and coach workstream leaders on program-management practice. Build consensus and alignment across functions with different priorities, timelines, and operating styles. Continuous Improvement Continuously improve the program's planning, reporting, and operating practices, and share those improvements across the CISO organization where useful. Capture and act on lessons learned across the program's phases and workstreams. Support post-implementation reviews and the transition of new capabilities to steady-state operations. Qualifications Minimum 15+ years of progressive experience delivering large, complex, highly visible enterprise technology programs in global organizations. Demonstrated success leading multi-year, multi-workstream programs with significant budgets, complex dependencies, and executive-level visibility. Deep experience running program-specific PMO operations, including integrated planning, RAID management, financials, and executive reporting. Strong enterprise technology fluency across cloud, data, application, and infrastructure domains; able to engage credibly on architecture, build-vs-buy, and integration trade-offs. Working knowledge of Artificial Intelligence concepts and how AI is reshaping enterprise technology delivery; direct cybersecurity expertise is not required, but experience delivering programs adjacent to Cyber, Risk, or Compliance is a plus. Proven ability to lead through influence — aligning senior stakeholders and driving accountability without direct-reporting authority. Experience operating across networked, matrixed, global organizations and complex partner ecosystems (e.g., bottling systems, franchisees, or analogous partner networks). Experience managing major implementation and technology partners, and coordinating with Finance, Procurement, and Legal on large-scale delivery. Exceptional executive communication skills, with a track record of producing crisp, decision-ready materials for senior leaders. Relevant certifications such as PMP, PgMP, PfMP, SAFe, Prosci, or ITIL are preferred; MBA or advanced degree is a plus. Education Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, Computer Science, Engineering, Finance, or related field required. Master's degree, MBA, or advanced professional credential (PgMP, PMP, or equivalent) highly desirable. Apply an Enterprise Mindset – Connect program outcomes to brand, consumer trust, growth, and the resilience of the Coca-Cola System. Influence Across the Network – Align diverse stakeholders and drive accountability without direct authority.
