Role Purpose

The Senior Manager is the senior system leader accountable for ensuring Coca-Cola's strategies show up consistently and effectively in market-by turning commercial, brand, and innovation intent into disciplined, data-led execution across the Great Britain franchise system. This role owns end-to-end in-market execution excellence across At Home channels (and selectively Away From Home), translating commercial, RGM, category, and marketing strategies into clear, scalable operational plans that deliver with speed, quality, and consistency at the shelf.

The role ensures that innovation, new pack launches, and priority initiatives land effectively in store, delivering against both execution and commercial performance expectations. Fundamentally, this role is about closing the gap between strategy and execution-raising execution discipline, enabling faster time-to-market, and driving consistent, high-quality delivery through insight-led decision-making, strong system alignment, and continuous improvement.
