AppleCare BPR Technical Project Manager, Consumer Sales

Yesterday Austin, TX

Do you feel a personal stake in everything that you work on, thrive in fast-paced environments with lots of ambiguity, and enjoy working with complex technologies? Do you develop strong relationships, build trust, and influence without direct authority? Do you communicate openly and clearly with engineers and business leaders alike, collaborate enthusiastically, and value a culture of healthy debate grounded in data and design thinking? If so, we want to talk to you!

In AppleCare BPR (Business Process Re-engineering) we view inclusion and diversity as critical for innovation. That's because our Project Managers lead the most challenging cross-functional initiatives in AppleCare, the ones that involve multiple systems and teams and drive complex changes across the AppleCare organization and beyond. We build strong technical relationships across the company and stitch AppleCare systems and processes enterprise-wide, from hardware repair engineering and diagnostics platforms to service quality and customer systems.We turn ambiguity into order, and we know how to execute big projects successfully.
