This role is responsible for defining the end-to-end platform vision, managing the lifecycle of devices, and ensuring a high-quality experience for both employees and developers across a large enterprise. The position involves building out modern management practices such as zero-touch provisioning, configuration baselines, and automated software delivery while partnering with security teams to ensure compliance in a regulated environment. Key technical focuses include macOS internals, Apple ecosystem capabilities, MDM, EDR, and identity integration. The role addresses the challenge of providing secure, scalable, and frictionless productivity for a global workforce by modernizing digital workplace infrastructure through automation, standardizing configurations, and optimizing vendor relationships to reduce operational toil while maintaining rigorous security standards.

What you'll do

  • Define and execute a multi-year global strategy for macOS platform architecture, lifecycle management, and service delivery.
  • Lead and develop a global team of engineers while fostering a culture of accountability and technical excellence.
  • Establish engineering standards and configuration baselines to ensure the macOS environment is secure, scalable, and reliable.
  • Implement modern management practices including zero-touch provisioning, automated patching, and compliance-by-design.
  • Partner with security teams to embed hardening, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance into platform designs.
  • Manage vendor relationships and commercial strategies for Apple and other endpoint management partners.
  • Drive operational excellence by using telemetry and feedback to improve service reliability and reduce manual toil.
  • Communicate platform health, risks, and investment decisions to senior leadership and internal stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • A Bachelor's degree is required, or 13+ years of relevant work experience.
  • 12+ years of progressive experience in endpoint/client platform engineering with a deep focus on macOS (preferred).
  • Demonstrated experience managing macOS platforms at an enterprise scale of over 10,000 devices.
  • Strong knowledge of the Apple enterprise ecosystem, macOS internals, device management, and security frameworks.
  • Experience in highly regulated, global enterprise environments.
  • Ability to operate at both strategic and execution levels with strong communication and stakeholder influence skills.
  • A degree in Computer Science or Engineering is preferred (or an advanced degree).
  • Experience in software development and GenAI development is a plus.
