About the role

Senior Organizational Program Manager (OPM) driving efficiency, scalable processes, and cross-functional alignment within Apple Services Engineering. Oversees end-to-end programs, leadership-facing planning and communications, and culture/people initiatives to support a large engineering organization.

Responsibilities

  • Own the rhythm of business for senior engineering leadership — designing, facilitating, and continuously improving staff meetings, leadership syncs, and working groups with a focus on outcomes and follow-through
  • Track and drive action items from leadership forums; surface blockers, escalate risks, and close commitments with accountability
  • Lead end-to-end planning of quarterly business reviews, planning cycles, and offsites — owning narrative structure and ensuring each session drives meaningful decisions
  • Establish a structured intake process for leadership priorities, triaging requests and keeping the org focused on highest-impact work
  • Identify inefficiencies and design scalable, repeatable solutions; document and socialize frameworks for broad org adoption
  • Lead headcount planning, fiscal budget management, space planning, and growth planning end-to-end — primary coordination point between engineering leadership, finance, and admin
  • Translate headcount, engagement, and operational data into actionable insights for senior leaders
  • Navigate complex, ambiguous organizational challenges with sound independent judgment
  • Build trusted partnerships across Engineering, Finance, People, Learning & Development, and Communications to align priorities and drive coordinated execution
  • Influence without authority — align teams with competing priorities and drive consensus on complex, multi-party decisions
  • Serve as a thought partner to senior leaders — anticipating needs, preparing them for key conversations, and providing candid, well-reasoned perspectives
  • Identify cultural gaps and org health signals; translate findings into concrete programs spanning career development, engagement, manager effectiveness, and inclusion
  • Own employee engagement programs end-to-end — setting measurable goals, tracking outcomes, and iterating based on data
  • Own audience-tailored communication plans — town halls, leadership updates, team blogs, and internal documentation
  • Partner with senior leaders on communications strategy; translate complex engineering and organizational topics into compelling content for audiences from ICs to executives

Qualifications

  • 7–10 years as a Chief of Staff, Senior Program Manager, Senior Operations Manager, or equivalent — with demonstrated end-to-end program ownership and strong autonomy
  • Experience working directly with and influencing senior leaders in a software engineering organization
  • Proven ability to drive programs with measurable outcomes — encompassing design, implementation, and iteration, not just execution support
  • Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle and how engineering teams are structured and operate
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze organizational data and translate it into clear leadership recommendations
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent, relevant work experience
  • Experience embedded in platform and infrastructure engineering organizations

  • Experience mentoring or developing junior program managers or coordinators
  • A true team player and trusted partner — collaborates and keeps bigger picture in mind
  • Exceptional interpersonal skills; ability to build trust across functions, levels, and global locations
  • Strong organizational skills with ability to manage multiple high-priority work streams
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; able to distill complex information into clear narratives
  • Experience planning large-scale events — offsites, town halls, leadership summits — including logistics and content
