The Senior Engineering Program Manager (EPM) at Apple will lead complex cross-functional programs focused on the AdServing infrastructure. This role involves close collaboration with engineering, product, and business teams to ensure the delivery of high-impact programs that enhance reliability, scale, and efficiency across Apple's ad platform. The ideal candidate will possess deep program management expertise and technical fluency, particularly in the AdTech space, thriving in a high-ambiguity environment. The position emphasizes the importance of user privacy and thoughtful integration of advertising into the customer experience.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in technical program management, product ownership, or engineering leadership within high-scale software environments.
- Proven success driving complex, cross-functional programs across engineering, product, and business teams.
- Familiarity with distributed systems, backend infrastructure, or data-intensive platforms.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, including comfort working with executive stakeholders.
- Ability to influence without authority and thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
- Experience in AdTech, particularly within Ad Serving, Candidate Retrieval, or Ad Exchange workflows.
- Exposure to portfolio management, especially managing interdependencies across multiple engineering tracks.
- Technical background that enables engagement in architectural discussions and risk assessment.
- Experience delivering in privacy-sensitive or regulated environments is a plus.
- Consulting or hybrid Agile delivery experience preferred.
Responsibilities
- Drive the planning and execution of core AdServing programs with clear milestones, accountability, and communication.
- Collaborate with engineering leads and architects to shape system design decisions, delivery strategies, and integration plans.
- Align cross-functional teams around shared goals, working with EPMs, Product Managers, and Business Operations to clarify dependencies and unblock delivery.
- Support portfolio-level coordination, providing visibility across projects and surfacing risks and mitigation plans as needed.
- Develop stakeholder communication strategies, including executive-facing updates and broader org-wide alignment.
- Champion delivery best practices in Agile and hybrid settings, contributing to operational excellence and scalable growth.
Benefits
- Employees at Apple are often offered comprehensive benefits that support physical and mental well-being—flexible medical plans, confidential counseling, onsite wellness centers at major campuses, and resources for fitness and daily life. Families typically receive fertility support, paid parental leave with gradual return, caregiving leave, and dependent-care guidance, while financial perks commonly include stock grants (with purchase discounts), 401(k) matching, and income-protection coverage. Employees also see robust time off, Apple University learning and tuition reimbursement, donation matching and paid volunteer hours, and deep product and partner discounts.
