Dynamic, inspiring people and innovative, industry-defining technologies are the norm at Apple. The people who work here have reinvented and defined entire industries with our products and services. The same dedication to innovation also applies to our approach to health - strengthening our commitment to leave the world better than we found it. The Health Group conceives of and proves out exciting new technologies for Apple’s future products and features. We are seeking a highly strategic Studies Project Manager to lead human study efforts in collecting data to support development and validation of new health sensors and algorithms. Acting as a critical bridge between internal cross-functional teams and external partners, you will drive operational strategy, and provide day to day study operations and comprehensive data management oversight.

In this dynamic, high impact role, you will not be confined to a single track. We are looking for a confident strategic leader who can navigate the full spectrum of study execution, from architecting study strategy to driving flawless delivery across internal design teams and external partners. You bring proven experience across the human studies research lifecycle, deep knowledge of domestic and international regulations, and a track record of running both site-based and virtual/remote studies while managing complex budgets. Thriving amid shifting priorities, you toggle seamlessly between granular operational details and executive-level strategy, holding partners strictly accountable to timelines, budgets, and uncompromised data quality. You must navigate severe ambiguity, pushing projects forward when hardware specs, regulatory pathways, or executive mandates are undefined. This role requires you to aggressively drive alignment across engineering, data analysis, legal, and business development, stepping in to course-correct when requirements rapidly evolve.

Requirements

• B.S. degree in biomedical engineering or any engineering discipline, or equivalent
• 7+ years of direct experience in clinical project management or clinical operations
• Strong human research background with a comprehensive understanding of the end-to-end study lifecycle, GCP, and domestic/international regulations
• Proven track record of scoping, evaluating, onboarding and managing global CROs and diverse external vendors to successfully deliver on data needs
• Experience running virtual and/or remote studies and knowledge on conducting clinical studies with Hardware/Software devices
• Experience in budgeting and financial forecasting at a project/study level
• Expert analytical and negotiation skills, adept at facilitating actions, resolving conflicts, and delivering crisp, effective communication to executive leadership
• Self starter and critical thinker with the ability to work autonomously, establish priorities, and thrive in a highly ambiguous, fast paced environment
• Superb communication skills including effective listening, clear and concise writing, and the ability to articulate complex project updates to executives
• Ability to be onsite; this role is a hybrid, in-person position
