Program Manager, Apple Health

About the role

The ideal candidate is a systems thinker, clear communicator, and collaborator who is strategic, proactive, and highly organized. Success in this role depends on stakeholder management, leading through influence and ambiguity, and delivering results in a complex, collaborative environment within Apple Health. This role requires bridging very different disciplines from software engineering and design to healthcare delivery.

Responsibilities

• Own the integrated program plan across all workstreams, maintaining POR, key decisions, schedule, dependency maps, milestone tracking, risk registers, and escalation paths across technical and non-technical teams.
• Navigate gate-based approval and readiness processes.
• Drive alignment and accountability across teams without direct authority, influencing through clarity, trust, and consistent follow-through.
• Serve as the primary communication hub — translating across engineering, design, clinical, legal, business, partner, and operations, and producing crisp program updates for working teams and leadership.
• Manage competing priorities across stakeholders — making clear recommendations on where to invest program energy and when to push back when requests conflict with program goals.
• Coordinate across product, engineering, design, and platform teams through full development cycles — from design reviews and sprints through QA, release, and post-launch operations.
• Design and run program rituals and ceremonies: planning sessions, cross-functional syncs, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Build and maintain program infrastructure from scratch where needed: shared trackers, frameworks, decision logs, and documentation.
• Proactively identify program risks — ideally before they become risks — and raise them to program leadership.
• Own critical program issues end-to-end, from identification to resolution — refusing to let problems sit in the areas between teams.
• Develop executive presentations on the state of the program and synthesize complex information to reach agreement on cross-functional risks or issues.
• Drive team clarity in cross-functional meetings and executive reviews by deeply understanding and representing the perspective of different functions.
• Bring structure when the program is in flux — quickly standing up the right forums, assembling the right people, framing the problem clearly to help teams evaluate options, make commitments, and drive to a decision even when the path forward is unclear or politically complex.
