About The Position

Apple's Employee Experience and Productivity team is seeking a Senior Program Manager to drive the planning, execution, and reporting that keep our most important projects on track. You will be the operational backbone across multiple concurrent projects and portfolio-level reporting, working hand in hand with product management and engineering to turn strategy into predictable, well-run delivery. Employee Experience and Productivity (EEP) is part of IS&T and delivers some of the most widely used communication and productivity technology and services across Apple — from tools that enable collaboration to the support teams that keep Apple's workforce running. EEP also leads user experience design and research, and manages the systems behind Apple's original content studios.

Requirements

• 5+ years experience in product or project management, in technology or product-driven environments.
• 5+ years experience with project tracking tools such as Jira or Wrike.
• 5+ years experience owning executive-facing status reports and portfolio-level dashboards.
• BS degree or equivalent experience.

Nice To Haves

• Solid risk management skills, including identification, documentation, and active mitigation tracking across a portfolio.
• Track record of partnering closely with product management, translating product priorities and roadmaps into well-run delivery and feeding execution insight back into planning.
• Experience collaborating with or alongside an Engineering Program Manager or technical program management function.
• Familiarity with portfolio-level reporting frameworks and operating cadences.
• PMP, PgMP, or equivalent certification.
• Background in technology and employee-facing internal productivity tools or SaaS.
• Experience working in a matrixed organization, building alignment across teams without direct authority.
• Strong prioritization skills, with the ability to balance multiple projects of varying lengths while managing trade offs that align to portfolio and organizational strategy.
• Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with competing priorities.
• Excellent cross-functional coordination and stakeholder communication skills, with strong written and verbal communication.

Responsibilities

• Own the cadence, structure, and cross-functional coordination that move a portfolio of products from idea to launch and beyond.
• Maintain detailed project plans, track milestones and schedules, and keep a clear-eyed view of risks and dependencies.
• Own weekly status reporting for individual projects and consolidated portfolio-level reporting.
• Partner closely with product management, acting as the connective tissue between roadmap intent and day-to-day execution.
• Translate product priorities into actionable plans, keep timelines and dependencies aligned to what the product managers are trying to achieve, and make sure the realities of delivery flow back into product planning.
• Work alongside an embedded Engineering Program Manager to ensure technical workstreams are reflected accurately in overall program status.
• Drive coordination across engineering, design, operations, and other partner teams so that dependencies are visible, handoffs are smooth, and blockers are resolved quickly.
