At Apple, innovation is driven by the diversity of our people and their ideas, powering everything from groundbreaking technology to industry-leading environmental initiatives. We are a team of innovative thinkers, continuously reimagining our products and practices to better serve the people who use them. Every product we build, service we create, and experience we deliver reflects strong cross-functional collaboration, with individuals across roles and teams working together to strengthen one anothers ideas.

Support project execution across the project lifecycle - from requirements through design, development, testing, and launch - helping track timelines, resources, and risks. Act as a day-to-day liaison between engineering teams, product owners, and business stakeholders - helping ensure alignment between business goals and technical execution, and escalating conflicts when priorities compete.

Track backlog health and sprint readiness for one or more engineering teams - help ensure stories are groomed and sized ahead of each sprint, and flag readiness gaps to leadership.

Experience supporting sprint-based delivery cadences, including backlog tracking and readiness checks.Strong written and verbal communication skills, along with excellent organizational abilities. Experience working in a cross-functional, and ideally time-zone distributed, team environment. Exposure to enterprise platform projects intended for adoption by multiple teams/organizations, including phased rollout support.

Interest in and early experience supporting delivery process improvements - helping introduce or reinforce iterative practices and metrics-driven tracking. Ability to communicate clearly and effectively with both engineers and cross-functional stakeholders.
