Early Engagement

As a key member of our Apple team, you will be responsible for understanding key mobile technologies from a cost, supply chain, and technical perspective. This includes identifying cost trade-offs that stretch design limits, challenging generally accepted supply chain, design, and feature rules, and presenting tradeoff recommendations to cross-functional and executive teams.

You will serve as a "one stop shop" to advise development teams on operational, cost, and supply chain issues, and influence the product roadmap from a business perspective as the advocate for the operations teams. Additionally, you will drive the Procurement and Operations teams to prepare for coming product roadmaps, identifying and addressing gaps.

Cost Management

You will manage product cost based on a corporate margin target, assist Procurement managers in deriving accurate and bold should-costs, and set individual cost targets for each component/module as needed. You will drive Procurement managers to meet these targets and/or should-costs, identify cost opportunities within the design envelope, and work towards cross-functional implementation.

You will also optimize capital equipment budgets, develop the Supplier Plan of Record (SPOR) for each new product, and facilitate discussions between Engineering, Operations, Procurement, and Quality team members for each key component.

Supply Chain

You will focus on strategic supplier selection from a procurement standpoint, and metrics on unexpected supply disruptions, unplanned post-ramp qualifications. You will present SPOR for approval by the executive team.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • 7+ years of experience
  • Bachelor's degree

Preferred Qualifications:

  • MBA, MS a plus
  • Experience in Supply Chain, Operations or a related field
