Senior Director, Integration Lead - Japan & South Korea

The Coca‑Cola Company (TCCC) 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 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.  

Role Overview

The Integration Lead serves as the strategic and operational bridge between business priorities, enterprise platforms, and cross-functional delivery teams to ensure seamless integration of data, systems, and digital capabilities across the Coca-Cola ecosystem. This includes the deployment, support, and adoption of global products and tools, as well as delivery of Operating Unit (OU)-specific regional/local digital products, ensuring both enterprise-wide consistency and responsiveness to local market needs. 

This role is responsible for driving end-to-end integration strategy, execution governance, and operational alignment across enterprise initiatives, enabling scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions that accelerate business value realization. The Integration Lead partners closely with global product teams, operating units, bottlers, and technology stakeholders to simplify complexity, standardize integration patterns, improve data flow and system connectivity, and ensure successful adoption of enterprise capabilities. 

The role requires strong program leadership, stakeholder management, technical fluency, and the ability to translate business transformation priorities into scalable integration solutions that support Coca-Cola’s digital-first, AI-enabled operating model.
