Senior Stakeholder Engagement and Program Manager — Labor and Human Rights

Apple•Washington DC, DC

About The Position

The Environment and Supply Chain Innovation team at Apple exists to uphold Apple's values across our global supply chain. Stakeholder engagement, communication, and storytelling are critical to supporting our mission as we raise awareness and inspire advocacy and action across Apple and our industry. We are seeking an experienced Senior Stakeholder Engagement and Program Manager to lead key programs that support our work on labor and human rights — championing, driving, and coordinating stakeholder initiatives, and managing the relationships, convenings, and communications that bring our efforts to life. This role calls for someone who thrives on execution — comfortable contributing to strategy, but energized above all by doing the hands-on work and managing the details that move our efforts forward. You will manage the engagement programs that support our labor and human rights work, overseeing the full cycle of our external partner convenings and expert roundtables — from shaping goals and approach through planning, budgets, logistics, execution, and follow-through. You will manage relationships with key stakeholders, contribute to the strategy for our partnerships, and track and present project performance to leadership. You will also contribute to the development of our public reporting, as well as responses to supply chain inquiries and other ad hoc requests. Your work will engage external expert audiences — including partner organizations, human rights experts, and other stakeholders shaping this field. Working across Apple, including with public relations, government affairs, legal, and our subject matter experts, as well as our external partners, you will balance stakeholders and drive priorities to keep our work moving forward. This work sits within Apple's operations organization and calls for a working understanding of global supply chains and manufacturing. It happens at a fast operational tempo, where priorities evolve quickly and execution matters. As our work evolves, you may take on additional programs and priorities across the team's labor and human rights portfolio. Success will depend on being able to effectively manage many moving pieces, build and sustain strong relationships, navigate complex cross-functional efforts, and engage credibly with technical subject matter to help tell the story of the people across our global supply chain.
