Role summary
Apple's Business Technology Solutions (BTS) team seeks a versatile Product Owner and Engineering Program Manager (EPM) to drive the strategy and delivery of core platform components powering operational systems. This role bridges business strategy and engineering execution, requiring deep understanding of business needs, workflow analysis, and technical execution. Responsibilities include defining product roadmaps, managing the SDLC, mitigating risks, and ensuring platform reusability. The ideal candidate has a strong background in Product Management, Engineering Program Management, and Systems Analysis within complex enterprise environments, with preferred experience in supply chain and GenAI tools.
Description
As a Product Owner / EPM on the BTS team, you will drive the strategy and delivery of foundational platform substrates that power our operational systems — you won't just hand off requirements, you'll own the outcome. You'll start by deeply understanding business-partner needs, conducting workflow analyses, and defining what we build, then transition into execution — working hand-in-hand with engineering leads to sequence work, mitigate technical risks, and manage the delivery pipeline. Because you'll work heavily with enterprise architecture and complex integrations, your systems-analysis skills will be critical to designing future-state workflows and ensuring platform components are robust and reusable.
Minimum Qualifications
BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent experience. 7+ years of hybrid experience blending Product Management, Engineering Program Management, and Systems Analysis within complex enterprise environments. 5+ years as an EPM partnering with engineering to drive the SDLC. 5+ years in Systems Analysis — deep technical fluency to map complex data flows, evaluate API integrations, and translate technical constraints into feasible business solutions.
Preferred Qualifications
Certifications such as CSPO (Certified Scrum Product Owner) or PMP. Hands-on use of GenAI tools to speed product, program, and systems-analysis work — from PRDs, user stories, and backlog items to first-draft data-flow maps and integration specs. Experience working with globally distributed platforms and project teams. Experience in supply chain, logistics, repair, trade-in, or other operational domains. Product Ownership — proven ability to define product strategy, manage a backlog, and translate business goals into clear, actionable requirements. Manage cross-functional dependencies, and deliver scalable platform solutions.
