About The Position
Apple is looking for a Business Operations Manager to support our Apple Pay and Wallet partners. Working within the Business Operations team, you will play a central role in shaping and executing the partner experience across Greater China, Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia (GCANZSEA) as banks, financial institutions and other partners leverage Apple Pay and Wallet to deliver services to their customers. You will lead cross-functional initiatives with Business Development, Marketing, Technical and Legal teams to strengthen and grow our existing partnerships. This includes helping to drive the implementation of new features and services across the region. This role requires someone who can navigate complexity, build trusted relationships at multiple levels across partner organisations and internal teams, and drive outcomes in a fast-moving environment. The role is based in Sydney at our Martin Place office.

- Sound judgement and decision-making under ambiguous or evolving conditions
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify root causes, quantify impact, and prioritise improvements
- Outstanding organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent work-streams
Responsibilities
- Drive cross-functional initiatives with Business Development, Technical, Marketing and Legal teams to optimise and grow existing partnerships — identifying opportunities to reduce friction and improve the user experience across Wallet services
- Lead the end-to-end onboarding of partners onto the Apple Pay platform, including program governance, cadence management with payment network operators, process design, and continuous improvement
- Build and maintain trusted relationships with partner organisations at senior and working levels, acting as a key point of contact for operational matters and ensuring partner needs are understood and addressed
- Lead the coordination and delivery of complex operational projects, managing timelines, dependencies and stakeholder alignment across internal and external teams
- Support the enablement of new platform features, and manage billing, reporting and testing activities with existing partners
- Partner with the Marketing team to review marketing material, partner app UI/UX flows and customer communications, ensuring they meet Apple standards
