Evening Teach Waterfall Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Cupertino, California, United States Corporate Functions

Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather to do their best work. Together we create products and experiences people once couldn't have imagined — and now can't imagine living without.The Finance Transformation team is shaping the future of Finance from modernizing our systems, implementing innovative AI solutions, and up-skilling the workforce. We are looking for a Program Management Office (PMO) Manager who will serve as the operational backbone of our transformation portfolio by bringing structure, rigor, and strategic clarity to a highly visible program in Apple Finance.

As Finance Transformation accelerates across AI adoption, systems modernization, and process redesign, this role is critical to ensuring the portfolio operates as a cohesive, well-governed program rather than a collection of independent work-streams. The ideal candidate is a self-starting manager with deep operational discipline and strong executive presence. Given the global nature of Apple's organization, this role will require flexibility to collaborate across multiple time zones, with occasional evening and weekend availability during critical program milestones.

• Strategic Priorities & Responsibilities Coaching & Mentorship: Invest meaningfully in the growth of junior and mid-career team members — teaching the fundamentals, building habits around accountability, and actively developing individuals toward greater scope and complexity. Balance mentorship with clear expectations and consistent standards.
• Portfolio Governance & Delivery Oversight: Partner closely with the Finance Transformation lead responsible for designing the internally built PMO system — supporting the pilot rollout, integrating teams into the system, and driving sustained adoption across the Finance Transformation portfolio. Support ongoing intake, prioritization, and maintenance of the portfolio within the system as it scales.
• Annual Planning & Off-Cycle Requests: Own the support of annual planning activities for the Finance Transformation portfolio, ensuring initiatives are sequenced, resourced, and aligned to organizational priorities. Serve as the point of contact for off-cycle project requests and software planning demand — applying consistent intake criteria and facilitating prioritization decisions with leadership.
• Program Health, QBRs & Executive Communications Reviews: Serve as the primary orchestrator and coordinator of program health reviews across all Finance Transformation work-streams. Partner closely with transformation leads to structure review cadences, define health metrics, prepare content, and drive consistent follow-through on actions and decisions.
• Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs): Own the coordination and preparation of QBRs for the Finance Transformation portfolio — partnering with initiative leads to synthesize progress, surface risks and dependencies, and deliver a clear, executive-ready view of the program at each quarterly milestone.
• Executive Presentations & Communications: Develop highly polished, executive-grade presentations and written communications that convey portfolio status, risks, and strategic direction with clarity and confidence. Synthesize complex, multi-threaded program information into concise, compelling narratives that enable leadership to make fast, well-informed decisions. Communicate effectively and credibly at all levels.

• 10+years of program and project management experience supporting complex, cross-functional initiatives, with direct experience in Finance programs, Finance PMO, or Strategic Finance environments.
• 5+ years of experience managing and developing a team of project managers and a mix of other staff.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Operations, or a related field.

• Proven ability to operate as both a people manager and an individual contributor simultaneously — leading a team while directly owning high-priority programs.
• Strong track record of establishing clear PM expectations and holding teams accountable to fundamentals: meeting preparation, documentation, follow-through, and stakeholder communication.
• Experience managing complex, multi-workstream portfolios with numerous interdependencies, senior stakeholders, and high organizational visibility.
• Exceptional executive communication skills (written and verbal) with a proven ability to craft highly polished, executive-grade presentations and communicate with clarity across all levels of an organization.
• Strong command of project and portfolio management tools (e.g., Clarity, Wrike)
• Methodologies & Frameworks: Deep practical command of project management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid), portfolio governance best practices, and structured problem-solving frameworks.
• Domain Expertise: Familiarity with finance transformation, including the intersection of AI-driven automation, and/or ERP modernization.
• Software Planning: Experience supporting technology intake processes, software demand planning, and off-cycle investment decisions in partnership with Finance and IT stakeholders.
• AI Integration: Experience incorporating AI tools and capabilities into project and program management practices — including leveraging AI for planning, reporting, risk identification, or workflow automation.
• Project Management Professional (PMP), Program Management Professional (PgMP), SAFe Agilist, or equivalent certification.
• MBA or equivalent advanced degree.
