About The Position

You will work with cross-functional energy, environmental, operations, procurement, finance, government affairs and legal teams to champion, drive, and coordinate supplier decarbonization projects and programs at scale. You will independently manage and deliver technical assistance to dozens of suppliers across diverse geographies, guiding them through decarbonization projects potentially spanning heat, energy efficiency, fluorinated gases, chemicals, carbon credits, and more. This includes developing and hosting trainings that are accessible and culturally resonant (sometimes in collaboration with external partners), with a focus on building lasting supplier capability so that decarbonization becomes embedded in how they operate. You will execute or facilitate strategic deals (across multiple technologies and geographies) with Apple suppliers and solution providers, providing technical assistance and deal support.

You will monitor and navigate the evolving landscape of carbon-related regulations, standards, and claim requirements, ensuring program designs meet eligibility criteria for recognition in Apple's public environmental claims, while proactively identifying and mitigating compliance, credibility, and reputational risks.
