Job Description Summary:

Senior Director, Safety & Risk – Africa Operating Unit

Role Purpose

The Senior Director, Safety & Risk will be the strategic and operational leader for Health, Safety, and Risk Management across the Africa Operating Unit (AOU), shaping the future safety culture for The Coca-Cola System in the region. This pivotal role will advance operational excellence while embedding safety as a core business value, influencing across a complex network of bottling partners, internal leaders, and global stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

1. Strategic Health & Safety Leadership

  • Define, execute, and continuously evolve the AOU's Occupational Health & Safety (H&S) strategy, ensuring alignment with global frameworks, Long Range Plans (LRP), and Annual Business Plans (ABP).

  • Champion safety culture transformation through visionary leadership, ensuring a "Zero is Possible" mindset and embedding H&S as a competitive advantage.

  • Integrate safety into business outcomes, influencing investment decisions, innovation pipelines, and operational design.

  • Implement global H&S systems and governance structures, ensuring compliance with KORE requirements and occupational license-to-operate regulations.

  • Lead the adoption of cutting-edge safety technologies and process innovations from high performing external industries (e.g., oil & gas, chemical, automotive, pharma).

2. Risk & Crisis Management

  • Lead Incident Management & Crisis Resolution (IMCR) processes for the AOU, ensuring preparedness, proactive risk identification, and rapid response to protect people, operations, and brand reputation.

  • Maintain robust Technical Risk Management Framework (TRMF) and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) integration, with actionable mitigation plans across manufacturing, logistics, innovation, and marketplace operations.

  • Partner with PACS, Strategic Security, and franchise system leadership on risk mitigation, scenario planning, and high impact decision making.

3. Business Continuity

  • Own and implement the AOU Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to ensure operational recovery during disruptions.

  • Coordinate cross functional recovery teams and external bottler partners for synchronized effective responses.

  • Keep leadership informed via clear, concise, and timely status reporting.

4. Stakeholder Engagement & Influence

  • Engage with senior internal and external leaders, industry associations, and regulatory bodies to drive alignment and share best practices.

  • Communicate with impact across multiple levels — from executive boardrooms to plant floor teams — adjusting style and messaging accordingly.

  • Negotiate and align on safety priorities where strategic or operational interests may differ.

5. People & Capability Development

  • Build and empower a high performing H&S team; mentor, coach, and enable others to lead safety effectively at all levels.

  • Establish the AOU as a regional center of excellence for safety knowledge, benchmarking, and capability development.

  • Foster cross system, cross functional collaboration to ensure "One Team" execution and shared accountability for safety goals.

Experience & Expertise

  • 8–10+ years senior leadership in Technical/H&S operations, with proven success in cultural transformation and change leadership.

  • Background from high safety maturity industries (energy, chemicals, manufacturing, automotive, pharma) strongly preferred.

  • End to end Occupational Health & Safety leadership, covering manufacturing, logistics, and marketplace environments.

  • Experience influencing in a complex, global, and matrixed system without direct authority.

  • Proven track record of cross regional, cross functional leadership and delivering strategic plans in alignment with global business objectives.

  • Strong knowledge of H&S management systems, risk management frameworks, compliance requirements, and crisis response best practices.

  • Demonstrated ability to engage effectively with executives, franchise partners, and regulatory or industry bodies.
