If you thrive in a fast-paced and highly collaborative environment and are adept at building your internal network to gather information, we encourage you to apply!



Description
In this role you'll work directly with executives and cross-functional partners to develop content that informs, engages, and inspires Apple Services Engineering (ASE) employees. You will provide writing support to senior executives for a global engineering audience, with a specific focus on the Cloud Systems & Platforms (CSP) team within ASE. This work will include emails and Slack posts, as well as the coordination, development, and delivery of executive-level presentations and their key elements, including Keynote slides and scripts that demonstrate engineering thought leadership. In addition, you will lead general business communications for CSP, and ASE as needed, to ensure organizational alignment and effectiveness.
You will also deliver internal communications to a global and hybrid audience, through the planning and execution of org-wide all-hands meetings.

You'll measure and track results, and provide reporting to refine and improve our internal communication, with an eye to uncovering the right approach to reach high levels of employee engagement.
Strong project management skills are essential, along with superb writing and editing. You will have experience creating comms plans and executing content strategies that engage audiences. Through networking you will seek to understand the latest feature developments, team culture, and employee sentiment, which will help CSP's leadership deliver the right message at the right time. Successful candidates will be highly collaborative, flexible, and proactive, with a positive attitude and the ability to influence stakeholders to effective outcomes.
