Job Description

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something.

We’re looking for a strong Sr Engineering Program Manager with a proven track record of building and maintaining complex software platforms, tools and processes that deliver new end-to-end experiences that delight customers. Our team is Siri Platforms where we build the solid foundation on which other teams create delightful user experiences. We are looking for excellent self starters with strong initiative and drive for results.

You will drive programs and/or projects that support Siri Platforms including driving feature definition, system architecture, timelines, milestones, risk management, and program execution. This includes collaborating with multiple partner organizations relevant to the project.

Communication is critical. You will provide clear, timely, concise and objective communication, including regular program status updates, critical issues and mitigations, changes in plans, risks, and asks as needed. You will also drive (as needed) discussions and break down complex issues into manageable chunks in order to drive engineering, design, and other teams to alignment while maintaining great teamwork and collaboration.

You will own the program end-to-end - from inception to delivery. You will create and manage project timelines and milestones with clear dependencies, critical path and deliverables with a communication strategy. You will also manage risks, mitigations, and re- plan as needed. You will drive on time delivery and deployment with necessary checkpoints and status updates. As a part of execution, you will also identify issues and drive towards solutions with cross-functional teams
