Software Engineering Group Manager - Finance Experience

Job Description Summary:

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 and Engineering organizations bring 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 Engineering Group Manager, Finance Experience, you will lead multiple engineers across full stack, front end, and back-end disciplines to deliver customer-facing and internal products in a product operating model. You will partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and Architecture to shape strategy, build durable platforms, and deliver measurable outcomes.

This role is for leaders who can grow strong teams, raise engineering standards, and guide technical direction - while staying close enough to the work to make sound architectural and delivery decisions.

What You Will Work On

At Coca-Cola, engineering operates at a scale and level of complexity that creates extraordinary opportunities to solve meaningful problems.

Our Finance Experience products support a broad range of business capabilities, from commercial agreements and customer financial planning to forecasting, performance management, billing, reimbursements, and financial operations. These capabilities connect people, processes, data, and technology across Finance, Commercial, and the broader enterprise.

The engineering challenges are equally diverse. You'll help shape products and platforms that bring together sophisticated business logic, complex workflows, enterprise integrations, data, and intuitive user experiences. You'll work across modern application architectures, APIs, cloud technologies, and connected enterprise systems, balancing the need for speed and innovation with the reliability, accuracy, security, and scalability essential to financial operations.

You'll collaborate with engineering and technology teams across the enterprise, bringing a strong technical perspective to shared capabilities, architectural decisions, and opportunities to create more connected experiences.

This is an opportunity to help shape not only the technology we build, but how we build it. You'll have a meaningful voice in product direction, develop talented engineering teams, and help establish the technical practices and capabilities that enable great products to evolve over time.
