Additional Information

The future of enterprise Finance isn't just automated, it's intelligent. At Apple, we don't bolt AI onto existing workflows. We reimagine them from the ground up. The Finance Transformation team is evolving from a project-centric delivery model to a product-led mindset, ensuring our internal tools are as intuitive and innovative as the products Apple sells. We're building a new generation of AI-native Finance platforms where intelligent agents surface insights in real time, documents process themselves, and financial decisions are powered by models that are accurate, auditable, and trusted at Apple scale. We're looking for a Product Manager who will partner with the engineering team in supporting Apple's Operations Finance. This covers processes across supply chain finance including product cost, manufacturing, tooling, logistics, R&D, and operations financial planning. You will own product responsibility for critical Operations Finance platforms, with a focus on cost optimization and risk mitigation, supply chain analysis and forecasting, Capex management, and financial planning and analysis. Why this role is different. Most enterprise PM roles ask you to maintain and incrementally improve existing systems. This role asks you to reimagine them with AI at the core. You'll define how intelligent agents operate within Apple's Operations Finance ecosystem, how they surface cost anomalies, reason over complex supply chain data, generate audit-ready outputs, and earn the trust of a world-class Finance organization. This is foundational platform work with company-wide impact. You will partner with Finance, Operations, Procurement, Logistics, engineering, and business stakeholders to streamline processes and deliver world-class user experiences for thousands of Apple employees.
