Program Managers in Maps deliver the right feature at the right time. It's a hands-on, cross-functional, highly-engaged job. No tourists. A good PM is the beating heart of their team

As a manager on the Experiences Program team, you will be responsible for a broad portfolio and the success of your people. You'll define and staff a roadmap.

SPECIFICALLY, YOU WILL:
- Manage, coach and strengthen a team of hardworking Program Managers
- Identify, recruit, and retain talented people
- Define, develop and deliver features that enhance our customer experience
- Work through your people to figure out requirements, scope work, develop plans, generate schedules, execute, and ship

- Work cross-functionally across Maps and Apple to use the collective skills and intelligence of our people
- Resolve conflicts, troubleshoot, and unblock issues
- Communicate with every level of our organization, from individual contributors to executives
