At Apple, we believe our most important resource—our soul—is our people.
We are seeking a visionary and highly influential leader to architect and lead the transformation of our global recruiting processes.
This is a strategic role focused on building and leading our Recruiting process design program.
Your primary mission will be to bring alignment, consistency, and optimization to how we operate, creating a unified framework for a complex, global organization.
**Description**
You are a business architect and master facilitator responsible for partnering with our global Recruiting organization to define, and continuously improve its processes.
You will collaborate deeply with our Recruiting Technology teams, but your focus is on designing the recruiting operating model that technology will then enable.
This is a pivotal role for a leader who thrives on bringing order to chaos and building governance frameworks that last.

+ Direct, hands-on experience building a Recruiting Center of Excellence (COE) or a similar governance program from scratch and maturing it into a self-sustaining function.
+ Expert-level facilitation and influencing skills, with demonstrated success in applying collaboration and leadership to align fractious groups of senior leaders and SMEs on complex and contentious topics.
+ Deep expertise in business process architecture, with the ability to design and articulate solutions at the intersection of process, technology, and global compliance.
+ Demonstrated skill at listening to business requests to understand the why and business problem behind them, delivering what's needed, not just what's asked.
+ Strong analytical skills with experience using data to define problems, set measurable targets, and report on program success to an executive audience.
+ Working knowledge of global recruiting compliance and a creative aptitude for designing robust solutions within regulatory frameworks.
**Preferred Qualifications**
+ Experience leading a recruiting organization's transition from in-house developed products to enterprise SaaS solutions, with a deep understanding of the process implications.
+ Experience in supply chain, logistics, or other complex operational domains outside of HR, bringing a unique perspective on process optimization at scale.
+ A natural ability to foster trust and build strong, collaborative relationships between SMEs, end-users, leaders, and cross-functional partners.
