Description
The candidate will be responsible for acting as a Solution Architect across multiple, concurrent complex, interrelated projects, while also leveraging existing solutions to ensure systemic integrity of Apple's overall IS&T landscape. This role requires a deep understanding of core operations throughout the supply chain to manage complex, global initiatives.

Success requires thinking strategically, connecting the dots of the bigger picture, as well as being comfortable in the details of the all key deliverables.

Successful candidates are consummate team players capable of working with cross functional business teams to identify improvements and deliver capabilities that will exceed our customers expectations. Regular interaction with all levels of senior management requires exemplary written and verbal communication skills. Candidates must be able to deal with ambiguity in a highly matrix environment with a strong propensity for documentation and management systems that keep key stakeholders informed on risks and mitigations.
