Senior Finance Operations Manager - Services

About the role

Summary Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job and there's no telling what you could accomplish. Are you passionate about using your financial knowledge to navigate complex cross functional challenges? Just as our customers find value in Apple products, the Finance group finds value for both Apple and its shareholders. As part of this group, you will support Apple’s growth, applying the same level of innovation toward financial matters as we do toward our products and services. You will be defining, leading and delivering programs to optimize the financial lifecycle of our rapidly expanding digital Services Businesses. We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Finance Program Manager with prior experience in driving large cross functional global initiatives, such as ERP implementations, Finance Transformations and new product introductions. The ideal candidate will possess a combination of a strong blend of financial acumen, passion for innovation and ability to confidently collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Finance stakeholders with minimal oversight. You will also have a deep understanding of digital services business models, such as Subscriptions and Payments and have the ability to assess a bigger picture to understand & communicate impact to Finance and our partners. Description The Senior Finance Program Manager - Services will represent Services Finance as the driving force — not just a participant — in cross-functional programs shaping the future of our Subscriptions and Payments businesses. Acting as the finance owner embedded in multi-functional program teams, this person will partner directly with Product Management, Engineering and other Finance teams to shape requirements, drive execution, and ensure finance impacts are designed in from day one rather than retrofitted after launch. This role requires prior, hands-on experience leading finance transformation initiatives — ERP implementations, new product builds, or platform rebuilds — that spanned multiple finance functions (Accounting, Tax, Treasury, Controllership, O2C and P2P) and required close, sustained coordination with Engineering and Product. The ideal candidate has done this specifically in a Payments or Subscriptions environment and understands first-hand how product and engineering decisions ripple downstream into accounting, tax, compliance, and cash flow. Preferred Qualifications CPA, CIA, or CISA certification. Experience with Services, subscription, or platform business models (e.g., recurring revenue, marketplace, or digital services). Experience with process automation or data analytics tools (e.g., SQL, Alteryx, Tableau, RPA) applied to controls or finance operations. Prior Big 4 or public accounting experience. Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. 8+ years of experience in system implementation, accounting system implementation, internal audit, or internal controls, ideally within a Finance organization. Hands on accounting expertise in finance operations. Strong understanding of internal control and compliance frameworks Demonstrated experience documenting end-to-end business processes and translating them into control narratives and risk-and-control matrices. Proven ability to partner cross-functionally with Finance, IT, and business teams and to influence outcomes without direct authority. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to senior stakeholders.
