Do you love building solutions to handle global complexity and immense scale? Imagine what you could do here.

At Apple, we don't just work. We innovate, create, and redefine what's possible. Every customer interaction is a chance to amaze, inspire, and connect, and by obsessing over the smallest details, we create experiences that leave a lasting impact.

The Customer Systems Platform Services team builds the next generation of contact center solutions at Apple. These platforms carry hundreds of millions of customer contacts a year across AppleCare and Retail. We are looking for an exceptional leader to build and lead our Engineering Program Management team: someone with a sharp technical mind, real financial and operational rigor, and the conviction to challenge how things have always been done. As the Manager of Engineering Program Management for Customer Systems, you will lead a team of Engineering Program Managers delivering complex, multi-year platform initiatives across a global contact center footprint. You will own the portfolio roadmap and delivery, the health of the team behind it, and the portfolio's overall budget and total cost of ownership.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, architecture, and business, partnering daily with Engineering leaders, Solution Architects, business stakeholders, and finance partners to turn strategy into executable roadmaps across the business units we support.

Generative AI is central to how this team operates and what it delivers. You will drive adoption of GenAI and agentic tooling, so your team spends its time on judgment rather than administration, and you will be a credible partner to Engineering on the AI capabilities being built into the platform itself. Above all, we are looking for someone who challenges the norm, who looks at an accepted process, vendor roadmap, or architectural assumption and asks whether there is a fundamentally better way, then builds the analysis to prove it.
