Operations is involved with the creation of virtually every product—from product development to placing it in the customer's hands. This requires the ability to support a challenging product line, work to an aggressive timeline, and manage a wide array of operational processes.
Being part of Operations at Apple allows you to work with the best people in the industry to develop leading-edge manufacturing and product technologies. Working so closely with the product, you can see the correlation between the product and the bottom line, giving Operations a unique perspective on what it takes to be successful as a global company.
To excel in Operations, you should be both a long and short term strategic thinker. You should be an expert at analyzing situations quickly and accurately and be able to think on your feet. You will work with a multi-national supply base, so you should have strong negotiation skills and be able to adapt to a variety of different situations. And you should be flexible to the inevitable changes and challenges that come your way.
