Overview

At PepsiCo, we’re redefining what it means to be a consumer products company with a digital-first mindset, and our ServiceNow Platform C4E team is leading that charge.

It focuses on designing and delivering services that generate measurable value and provide a consumer-grade experience to the business and the end users.

By definition, C4E applies to all functions and domains providing services (e.g. IT). But it’s logically hosted in the “Centre 4 Enablement” organization. Our technology teams unlock digital capabilities, enhance cybersecurity safeguards, deliver data-driven insights, and create unmatched consumer and customer experiences.

Our culture is guided by the PepsiCo Way, a set of values that define our mission to win with purpose in the marketplace and act with integrity in everything we do.
