About The Position

Imagine what you could do here! At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming great
products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and
dedication to your job and there’s no telling what you could accomplish! The
people at Apple donʼt just build products — we craft the kind of wonder thatʼs
revolutionized entire industries. Apple is where individual creativities gather
together, contributing to the values that lead to extraordinary work. Every new
product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver, is
the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. Apple is looking for a
dynamic, highly motivated Program Manager to join the Retail Finance PART
(Process, Analytics, Reporting and Technology) team. In this role, you will
partner with leads in finance, operations, strategy, analytics and IT to drive
optimization through process, data and technology solutions. You’ll apply your
abilities in strategy, planning, and execution to devise operational and
technical solutions that support the Retail and Retail Finance roadmap.

You will work directly with Business Stakeholders to understand their needs and

fast-paced, often ambiguous environment. You have exceptional analytical skills,
a maniacal attention to detail, and a proven ability to influence and
collaborate across all levels of the organization. You’ll connect the dots,
build trust and understanding between groups, and orchestrate the activities
needed to make your projects successful. The ideal candidate should have
experience managing large technical projects that interweave multiple functional
teams and/or multiple systems.
