About The Position

The Environment and Supply Chain Innovation team 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.

Requirements

• Experience managing stakeholder and partner relationships, and coordinating engagement across multiple organizations
• Demonstrated experience leading complex programs end to end, including planning, logistics, budget management, and execution
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write and edit clearly and develop polished materials for varied audiences
• Deep experience in labor and human rights, including familiarity with the regulatory landscape and an understanding of global supply chains
• Experience working in cross-functional teams, resolving issues, building consensus, and working toward agreements

Nice To Haves

• Ability to credibly represent an organization in external forums and with expert audiences
• Comfortable developing presentations and briefings for technical experts and executives
• Experience working with grants or consultant contracts to deliver outstanding results on time and within budget
• Can flex between understanding and shaping the big picture, to focusing on the details
• Experience coordinating or supporting the production of reports or similar deliverables
• Ability to manage and organize multiple projects with competing priorities and different timescales
• Interest and capacity to quickly engage with new subject matter areas
• Ability to operate and collaborate at all levels of the organization, including working directly with senior executives
• Demonstrated experience working effectively across global time zones and with culturally diverse, international teams
• Proficient in Pages, Keynote, and Numbers
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as needed

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Manage relationships with key stakeholders, contribute to the strategy for our partnerships, and track and present project performance to leadership.
• Contribute to the development of our public reporting, as well as responses to supply chain inquiries and other ad hoc requests.
• 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, 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.
