DESCRIPTION
You'll own this program end-to-end — setting strategy, defining the operating
model, building and equipping a champion group that engages teams directly, and
partnering with service catalog and workforce management tool owners so
engineering work-tracking data flows reliably into the systems that depend on
it. You'll work closely with senior PM leadership across Apple to align on
hierarchy design, run focused pilots that prove the model, and generalize what
works. This is a high-visibility, ambiguous-by-design role. There is no template
to follow — the right approach will be discovered as the program runs. We're
looking for someone who is comfortable building the plan while delivering it,
who can balance diplomacy with directness, and who treats large-scale taxonomy
and tooling work as a craft.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
8+ years of experience in engineering program management, technical program
management, or a closely related role driving large, cross-organizational
change. Demonstrated track record of leading multi-team programs from ambiguous
starting conditions to durable operating models — defining the approach as you
go, not following a template. Hands-on fluency with enterprise work-tracking
systems (Jira, Azure DevOps, ServiceNow, or equivalents) at scale, including how
their hierarchies, saved searches, and reporting work in practice. Experience
designing or evolving large taxonomies (services, products, capabilities,
ownership domains) and the diplomacy to drive adoption of those structures
across teams that already have their own conventions. Strong cross-functional
partnership skills, comfortable working with engineering leaders, PM peers
across the company, finance and ops partners, and individual contributors with
deep domain expertise. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with
the ability to communicate effectively across executive, peer, and individual
contributor audiences. Comfort with ambiguity, sustained scope, and
high-visibility executive attention. B.S. degree in Engineering, Computer
Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical
experience.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience as an admin or platform-team partner for an enterprise work-tracking
or engineering systems platform — knowing not just how to use the tool, but how
it's configured and operated. Familiarity with service catalogs, CMDBs, or
similar reference structures used to organize engineering work and ownership.
Experience integrating work-tracking systems with workforce management, capacity
planning, or financial planning tools. Track record using LLM-assisted workflows
to accelerate large-scale data cleanup, classification, or migration tasks.
Experience leading or partnering with distributed champion or
community-of-practice models for tooling adoption. Strong judgment on when to
escalate, when to slow down, and when to ship the imperfect version that gets
the program one step further. Advanced degree in a related field is welcome but
not required.
