Engineering Program Manager - MusicApps

Apple•Cupertino, CA

About The Position

The MusicApps team is looking for an Engineering Program Manager to run the Voice Memos program. This involves tracking and managing scope definition, negotiation, communications, reporting and delivery of multiple, parallel work streams across parallel software releases with teams across the international Apple organization. Day to day activities include tracking team progress, uncovering and resolving blockages and dependencies, managing delivery pressures, negotiating scope and delivery timelines, keeping the team unblocked and moving forward and reporting progress to stakeholders using various tools. This is a very busy and unpredictable program where the ability to switch context and deal with new, unexpected requests is commonplace.
