If you're motivated by the idea of making a real impact this could be your dream job. At Apple, innovation is driven by the diversity of our people and their ideas, powering everything from groundbreaking technology to industry-leading environmental initiatives. We are a team of innovative thinkers, continuously reimagining our products and practices to better serve the people who use them. Every product we build, service we create, and experience we deliver reflects strong cross-functional collaboration, with individuals across roles and teams working together to strengthen one another's ideas. Retail and Marcom Engineering develops the tools and programs that enable our teams to deliver a distinctive, only-at-Apple experience, with a strong focus on both employee and customer experience while driving a global strategy that sets the standard for excellence. Today, Retail Engineering brings this experience to life for customers around the world, operating across multiple countries. Our team team is seeking a highly motivated Project Manager to support the delivery of a next-generation publishing platform — spanning Product Information Management (PIM), Digital Asset Management (DAM), Content Management, Orchestration, and Syndication — that will serve not only Retail and Marcom Engineering, but all of Apple. This role offers the opportunity to drive cross-functional collaboration across engineering, business, and operations teams, delivering scalable platform services that support Apple’s evolving digital ecosystem at enterprise scale.

Retail and Marcom Engineering, part of Apple’s IS&T organization, designs and operates the systems and experiences that connect Apple’s products with its customers. The team is responsible for the technology underlying Apple’s online stores, as well as the interactive marketing experiences and tools that support ongoing creative operations. Together, these functions power the technology behind every product story Apple tells and every purchase a customer makes. We are seeking a motivated Engineering Project Manager who brings energy, organization, and a collaborative mindset to software delivery. We are looking for someone comfortable coordinating people, process, and technology to help deliver quality software on time. In this role, you will support cross-functional teams, help bring clarity to day-to-day delivery challenges, and contribute to scalable solutions that support the long-term success of our platform. You will play an active role in supporting iterative development delivery across engineering teams — helping run the cadences, ceremonies, and tracking that keep a platform program shipping incrementally while maintaining quality and alignment. You'll work alongside senior PMs and engineering leads to learn and apply delivery best practices in a growing program. You will apply developing technical understanding, structured thinking, and clear communication to help navigate day-to-day complexity and support decision-making across engineering, product, and business teams.

Support the coordination of cross-functional software engineering projects contributing to the Apple Online Store (AOS) platform.
Assist in the delivery of components of an enterprise publishing platform (PIM, DAM, CMS, Orchestration, Syndication) as it moves from a Retail-first launch toward broader adoption.
Support project execution across the project lifecycle — from requirements through design, development, testing, and launch — helping track timelines, resources, and risks.
Act as a day-to-day liaison between engineering teams, product owners, and business stakeholders — helping ensure alignment between business goals and technical execution, and escalating conflicts when priorities compete.
Help run and continuously improve iterative delivery routines — support sprint structures, release cadences, demo/feedback loops, and definition-of-done standards for the team(s) you support.
Track backlog health and sprint readiness for one or more engineering teams — help ensure stories are groomed and sized ahead of each sprint, and flag readiness gaps to leadership.
Assist in tracking scope against baselines for program work streams, including basic change control, coverage tracking, and gap reporting against delivery milestones.
Help prepare project status updates and reporting materials for leadership reviews, summarizing progress, risks, and delivery status in clear, organized formats.

Interest in and early experience supporting delivery process improvements — helping introduce or reinforce iterative practices and metrics-driven tracking.
Ability to communicate clearly and effectively with both engineers and cross-functional stakeholders.
