We are Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP). We have 39,000 people serving 4 million customers in 31 markets. We combine the strength and scale of a large, multi-national business with an expert, local knowledge of the customers we serve and communities we support. We invest, employ, manufacture, and distribute locally.
In Australia, our portfolio includes the Coca-Cola family of products and well-loved brands such as Sprite, Fanta, Monster and Mother Energy, Mount Franklin, Powerade, Billson’s, and Grinders Coffee.
Role Purpose
Own CCEP Australia's enterprise AI strategy, advise executive leaders, build the transformation portfolio, shape investment decisions, and create measurable business value from one of the most significant business transformations in the organisation.
We're looking for a strategy and transformation leader who can help shape our future. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, transformation, technology and value creation, helping executive leaders identify where AI can create competitive advantage, unlock productivity and accelerate growth.

This is a permanent, full-time opportunity based at our head office in North Sydney.
Your scope will include:

Partner with Executive Leaders
- Advise senior leaders on emerging AI opportunities and strategic implications.
- Translate external innovation and market trends into practical business decisions.
- Shape enterprise investment priorities and transformation roadmaps.
- Influence senior stakeholders across Australia, APS and Global CCEP.
Deliver Commercial Impact
- Establish and lead CCEP Australia's enterprise AI portfolio, identifying, prioritising and mobilising initiatives based on strategic fit, value creation potential, scalability and risk.
- Own business case development, investment recommendations and benefits realisation, ensuring measurable outcomes are delivered across productivity, growth and commercial performance.
Drive Enterprise Adoption
- Redesign and simplify business processes, decision-making routines and ways of working through AI-enabled solutions.
- Build AI literacy, capability and confidence at every level.
- Lead change that sticks, creating lasting behavioural and cultural shifts.
Establish Australia as an AI Innovation Hub
- Pilot, test and scale innovative AI solutions.
- Create repeatable frameworks for experimentation and growth.
- Help position Australia as an incubator market for AI innovation across CCEP globally.
Lead Governance & Partnerships
- Ensure AI is deployed responsibly, ethically and securely.
- Build strong partnerships across Microsoft, technology providers, consultants and academia.
- Align business, technology and global stakeholders around a shared vision
