Lead a team that brings Apple's most ambitious products to life. We are looking for an exceptional and highly motivated Senior Manager to lead our team's data collection efforts across a variety of core technologies.

In this role, you will own the vision, strategy and execution of large-scale data operations; growing and developing a team of talented engineers while driving alignment across hardware, software, infrastructure and algorithm organizations. A deep understanding of data collection and user study fundamentals, proven people leadership and a strong command of Apple's product ecosystem will be critical to succeeding in our highly dynamic and cross-functional landscape.

Minimum Qualifications

• BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience

• 3+ years of direct people management experience with a demonstrated track record of building and developing high-performing technical teams
