G&A Solutions Engineering (GSE) is IS&T's dedicated technology partner for Apple's general and administrative functions — including people, finance, facilities, legal, and security. The team builds and delivers integrated technology solutions that keep these functions running efficiently and securely at global scale.

Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job, and there’s no telling what you could accomplish. We are looking for a dynamic and experienced Manager of Portfolio Delivery & Operations to play a critical role in driving strategy and execution across a complex, cross-functional portfolio set.

This is an exciting position essential to the successful delivery of projects and to operational excellence across G&A solutions engineering applications globally. In this role, you will be at the heart of how we plan, deliver, and continuously improve the programs and operations that power our teams. Your work will directly impact how effectively Apple delivers on its most important commitments — and your contributions will truly make a difference.

• Lead and develop a high-performing team of EPMs, setting clear goals, coaching for growth, and fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement

• Manage budgets and resource forecasts across multiple teams; partner with finance and senior leadership to track actuals, flag variances early, and optimize allocation across the portfolio

• Serve as a trusted partner and single point of accountability for portfolio health, delivery commitments, and escalation paths; build strong working relationships across engineering, product, operations, legal, and finance

• Influence without direct authority across engineering, operations, and senior management, driving alignment and decisions through credibility, structured communication, and collaborative problem-solving

• Champion operational excellence across both the PMO and portfolio delivery functions, continuously raising the bar on delivery predictability, team efficiency, and organizational maturity

• 8+ years of experience in program management, portfolio management, or technical operations, with at least 3 years leading cross-functional delivery at scale

• Experience and strong proficiency with project and portfolio management tools

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; equally effective in a working session with engineers as in an executive business review
