Description

The PMO is a supporting part of the global Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) teams. These BPR teams are the project and business change management function within Apple Sales and Operations.

Imagine what you could do here! At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish.

You will play a meaningful role within the Project Management Office (PMO) supporting all of Apple's Operations and Sales project teams. In this role you will work across a range of capacities — from shaping strategic planning, through portfolio management and governance, down to supporting individual project requests. You will also play a key role in the delivery of high-profile programs that cut across the normal structure of the project delivery organization.

This is an individual contributor role for someone who brings structure to ambiguity, sets the standard rather than follows it, and can step into a critical delivery seat when a program demands it.

Minimum qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Economics, Engineering, Computer Science, or a relevant field required.
• Deep understanding of project, program, and portfolio planning and delivery — to the level of setting standards, proposing policy, and coaching others.
• Deep understanding of the end-to-end business processes of a manufacturing business, from sales through the supply chain.
• Proven ability to bring structure to your own work and to the work of others.
• Exceptional communication skills — verbal, written, and presentation.
• Solid track record of personally delivering large-scale initiatives under pressure, with high levels of complexity and ambiguity.
• Strong financial acumen, with the ability to partner credibly with Finance on capital planning, budgets, and spend governance.
• Expertise in building and automating portfolio reporting that gives leadership an objective view of program health.

Preferred qualifications

• MBA or Master's degree preferred.
• Background in Finance or a finance-adjacent discipline, with hands-on exposure to capital planning, budget management, and procurement processes (PR/PO lifecycle).
• Advanced proficiency in reporting and analytics tooling, with the ability to design dashboards and metrics from the ground up.
• Prior consulting experience with Big 4 consulting firms is desirable, but not required.
• Flexibility to partner with teams across multiple time zones, including occasional early or late calls during critical program phases.
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as program needs require.
