The Coca-Cola Company makes beverages and concentrates, sells its products in more than 200 countries and territories, and had about 65,900 employees at December 31, 2025. About 8,900 of them were in the US, and the total was down from 69,700 a year earlier, mainly because of 2025 divestitures. Headquarters are at One Coca-Cola Plaza in Atlanta.

What Coca-Cola does

The fiscal 2025 10-K reports five operating segments plus Corporate: EMEA, Latin America, North America, Asia Pacific and Bottling Investments. The five largest bottling partners named in the filing, Coca-Cola FEMSA, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, Coca-Cola HBC, Arca Continental and Swire Coca-Cola, handled 44% of worldwide unit case volume in 2025. At December 31, 2025, the company owned 29 concentrate and syrup plants and 66 beverage manufacturing and bottling plants. It also leased 1,379 Costa retail stores, which the filing reports under EMEA wherever they are located. Corporate and North America staff work from a 35-acre headquarters complex in Atlanta. Total headcount was about 65,900 at December 31, 2025.

Where Coca-Cola hires

H-1B labor condition applications (LCAs) filed under the name The Coca-Cola Company total 113 from 2019 through May 2026. Only one city has 25 or more filings in that span:

  • Atlanta, GA: 108 filings

Five other US cities appear once each. All 9 filings in calendar 2025 were for roles in Atlanta. Bottlers such as Coca-Cola Consolidated file under their own names, so their LCAs sit outside these totals.

The careers site, viewed October 13, 2026, names 20 locations. In the US these are Atlanta, Dallas and Chicago. Elsewhere it lists Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Manaus, San Bernardo, Dublin, Brussels, Signes, Warsaw, Istanbul, Cairo, Nairobi, Riyadh, Ahmedabad, Singapore, Jakarta, Beijing and Tokyo. These are locations, not open-job counts.

Job titles and levels you will see

No title dominates. IT Solution Architect leads with just 4 of the 113 LCA filings from 2019 through May 2026. Three titles follow with 3 filings each: CPS Transformation Director; Senior Manager, Analytics & Visualization; and Solution Platform Architect I. Nine titles appear twice, among them Lead Software Engineer and Senior Procurement Manager, IT. The filings span 95 distinct titles, so most appear only once. In calendar 2025, 5 of the 9 filings were for Senior Manager roles in analytics, strategy and ingredient science. On the careers site, jobs are grouped into areas such as Digital & Technology, Supply Chain, Finance & Accounting, Revenue Growth Management, and Brand Management & Marketing.

Workforce and hiring patterns

About 8,900 employees, or about 14%, were based in the US at December 31, 2025. Headcount was down from 69,700 a year earlier, mainly because of 2025 divestitures, per the 10-K. About 400 North America employees were under collective bargaining agreements at that date. LCA filings rose from 16 in 2023 to 30 in 2024, then fell to 9 in 2025, with 2 more in May 2026.
