As part of the Asia Pacific Logistics DC Project Implementation Team, you'll play a pivotal role in leading projects that transform Apple's Distribution Centre operations across the region — spanning Finished Goods, AppleCare and Trade In DCs, including inbound receiving, outbound fulfillment, reverse logistics, service parts management, and device processing workflows.

Manage Stakeholder and Partner Expectations: Communicate clearly on scope, timelines, and risks across internal and external partners.
