Description

• Proven EPM / TPM Track Record: 6 to 8+ years of technical program management experience leading large-scale, complex software or infrastructure initiatives end-to-end. • End-to-End Problem Solving: Exceptional analytical horsepower; ability to dissect deeply ambiguous, high-impact technical problems, map root causes, and drive actionable solution paths across disparate systems. • Cross-Functional Orchestration: Demonstrated mastery in rallying cross-functional teams (Software Engineering, Architecture, QA, DevOps/SRE, Product, Security, and Leadership) toward unified milestones without formal authority. • Technical Depth: Solid grasp of modern software development life cycles (SDLC), cloud/distributed systems, CI/CD, and release management—comfortable engaging in architectural discussions and challenging technical tradeoffs. • Executive Communication: High emotional intelligence (EQ) with the ability to distill complex technical status, trade-offs, blockers, and timelines into crisp, data-backed summaries for executive stakeholders. • Apple Experience (Preferred): Prior experience working within Apple or an Apple-like matrixed environment—fluent in Apple-style cross-functional engagement, operational rigor, and executive briefing norms. Description & Responsibilities • Drive Program Execution: Lead the end-to-end lifecycle for multi-tiered engineering initiatives—defining scope, critical path milestones, resource alignment, and deliverables across multiple engineering pods. • Relentless Issue Resolution: Act as the primary escalation point for cross-team blockers. Triage complex operational and architectural challenges, drive rapid root-cause analyses, and implement durable solutions. • Dependency & Risk Management: Proactively identify technical, schedule, and resource risks across interconnected programs; devise mitigation plans before risks turn into blocking issues. • Cross-Functional Cohesion: Establish clear operating cadences, RACI frameworks, and communication channels across engineering, operations, security, and product partners. • Executive Visibility & Metrics: Maintain single-source-of-truth program dashboards, risk registers, and milestone tracking. Provide transparent, high-signal reporting to engineering leaders and executive sponsors. • Process Optimization: Continuously evaluate engineering workflows and operational handoffs, eliminating toil and optimizing the path from code freeze to production deployment
