Description For Materials Program Manager

Apple's Materials Program Manager plays a vital role in ensuring operational excellence within the Procurement organization. This position focuses on materials readiness, availability, and visibility, working directly with Contract Manufacturers (CMs) and internal teams. The role encompasses critical component planning, allocation direction, supply flexibility modeling, and materials liability management.

The MPM will lead the Clear-to-Build (CTB) process, providing crucial visibility into materials supply and projected coverage. This data directly influences Supply-Demand Management and revenue projections presented to C-level executives. The role requires developing sophisticated models for supply chain optimization and creating strategic allocation strategies across factories, programs, and business lines.

Key responsibilities include partnering with CMs to develop comprehensive supply chain models, managing material constraints through strategic allocation, and identifying/mitigating material risks. The position involves regular communication with executive leadership through program reviews and reports.

The ideal candidate brings 4+ years of relevant experience in operations or supply chain, with strong analytical and communication skills. They should excel in data modeling and have deep expertise in Excel and other analytical tools. The role offers competitive compensation ($122,300-$227,600) plus comprehensive benefits including medical coverage, stock options, and education reimbursement.

This is an excellent opportunity for a supply chain professional to impact Apple's operational success, working at the intersection of procurement, manufacturing, and strategic planning. The role combines technical expertise with strategic thinking, offering significant growth potential within Apple's dynamic environment.
