Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish. The people here at Apple don’t just create products — they create the kind of wonder that’s revolutionized entire industries. It’s the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. Join Apple and help us leave the world better than we found it. Strategic Sourcing Managers on the Places Team own the commercial relationship with our Owner Furnished Item (OFI) manufacturing partners and are responsible for cost negotiations, continuity of supply, risk management, driving operational and cost efficiencies through process or design change, as well overall project execution and delivery. SSMs sit at the intersection of Apple's Supply Chain Development (SCD) and Construction Development teams, and effectively balance the needs of both groups to ensure successful project deliveries. Equipment (such as the speakers and display stand monitors) help define the look, feel and expression of Apple’s globally recognized retail stores and offices. SSMs work in concert with R&D, Design, Development, Operations, Merchandising and Facilities to deliver these extraordinary projects. Together, these teams execute and launch both new and reimagined spaces used by both Apple employees and customers across the world.
