Director Strategy Digital Commerce Jobs (NOW HIRING)

This role will lead SodaStream’s global Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) growth agenda and operating roadmap, accelerating channel scale-up, sustainable growth, and margin improvement across markets and regions. Reporting to the Global CMO, the role will serve as a key enterprise leader shaping the future of SodaStream’s consumer experience, digital commerce ecosystem, and data-driven growth capabilities.
