Do you enjoy seeing products come to life? The MPM will manage the CTB ("clear to build") process with suppliers and OEMs, ensuring that we have efficient process and clear visibility on our procurement strategy. Your successful ability to partner with OEMs and the sourcing team on material strategy will directly impact our product success. - Clear-to-Build (CTB) Management: provide visibility to materials supply, highlighting projected coverage and constraints.

Provide allocation direction to Global Supply Managers and Apple Suppliers. - Challenge and influence Demand Planning and Strategic Sourcing teams to improve allocation and maximize revenue. - Identify E & O and other material risk, recommend critical course of action to leadership, and own the efforts to mitigate liability to the business. - Develop strategic roadmap for the phase‐out of obsolete parts and new product materials. - Prepare and communicate critical Materials updates at weekly Sustaining Executive Program reviews; maintain executive reports and summaries, providing accurate and timely data to leadership on a weekly basis. - Through a deep understanding of our commodity terms, ensure the logistical flow of materials necessary to meet production schedules, inventory control requirements, and ongoing material line support.
