Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Program Managers on our Strategic Data Solutions (SDS) team deliver process and analytic solutions that have a strategic impact on Apple. They drive decision automation using machine learning that allows Apple to execute with greater speed, control, efficiency, and scale. They help realize business opportunity and balance operational trade-offs through machine learning. They are expected to lead across multiple functional teams to conceptualize, build, and deliver these automated and forensic decisions. These decisions require continuous problem solving, rapid learning, excellent communication, and an innovative mindset.

Program Managers also require a high level of discipline, patience, and self-awareness as you work with many different business and engineering teams. Most importantly, SDS Program Managers allow Apple to continue to provide extraordinary service to each and every one of its customers.
