Apple Senior Manager, Manufacturing & Environmental Software in Cupertino, California
Weekly Hours: 40
Role Number: 200648364-0836
Summary
Imagine what you could do here at Apple. Innovation runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it.
We're looking for a Senior Manager to lead both Product and Engineering across multiple platforms and applications. In this role, you'll own the product vision end-to-end, from strategy and roadmap to hands-on execution with cross-functional teams spanning Product Managers, Designers, Software and Platform Engineers. You'll be a people-first leader who can grow and mentor a high-performing team while aligning everyone around a shared vision and navigating trade-offs between user experience, technical feasibility, and delivery timelines.
Description
You'll be embedded within the Manufacturing Design and Environmental Systems orgs, and managing a team distributed between Cupertino and Austin.
Our team builds the applications and custom AI agents that enable Apple to manufacture every product we ship — it's high impact work at the core of Apple's operations. You'll be someone who anticipates problems without over-architecting solutions, and who can distill complex challenges into clear, simple outcomes. You'll also travel to Shanghai once a year to connect with our in-region counterparts and the end users who depend on what we build.
