Description
We are looking for a manager of program management to help shape the future of Apple’s cloud platforms and services. In this position you’ll build an company-wide vision for how Apple plans and builds its internal cloud platforms, including forecasting, demand and capacity planning, and platform build-outs to ensure the best possible experience for Apple’s engineers. This will involve building consensus across all of Apple’s cloud teams, finance, procurement, global networking and DC teams, from engineer to senior leadership.
This is a hands-on role working with the engineering org, as well as site-reliability engineering, business & finance, and operational teams. You are the thread tying these disparate teams together to deliver end-to-end initiatives that improve our internal cloud products globally.
You will lead a team that is involved in all aspects of the project life-cycle, whether it be helping develop functional requirements, getting into the detailed analysis, facilitating proofs-of-concept, or global platform delivery. You build positive relationships; you are aware of politics but do not get mired in them; you are constantly looking to improve yourself and your team; you see around corners; and you deliver.
