• Connect MSC and RCLB priorities, where applicable, to customer and bottler execution plans, ensuring system commitments are reflected in deployment, measurement, and stewardship routines.
• Establish integrated execution readiness with Customer teams, Franchise Commercial Execution, Franchise Operations, and bottler partners, including clear priorities, tools, supply assumptions, investment requirements, sequencing, and decision rights.
• Lead governance and stewardship routines for assigned integrated execution priorities, using customer, commercial, and execution measures to identify gaps, assign actions, and track follow-through.
• Identify recurring execution barriers across customers, bottlers, and geographies; surface unresolved trade-offs and recommend practical solutions to Franchise Commercial leadership and the appropriate business owners.
• Spend regular time with Customer teams, bottler Commercial and Operations teams, Franchise Operations, and frontline teams to assess how customer commitments and execution frameworks are translating into market and outlet execution.
• Capture, codify, and scale effective execution practices across Coca-Cola United and South Region Mainstream bottlers while adapting to customer, channel, and local-market requirements.
• Simplify tools, scorecards, and routines so customer and execution priorities are clear and usable for bottler and frontline teams.
• Maintain disciplined follow-through on decisions, actions, milestones, and system commitments associated with integrated execution priorities.
