**Role Number:** 200670935-0836 **Summary** Product Design is a mechanical engineering organization where design and engineering meet — turning ambitious product requirements into the beautiful, high-quality hardware Apple is known for, delivered at massive scale without compromising on features, performance, or reliability. Our team's design rigor and attention to detail doesn't stop at engineering work — it shows up in how we run our team, our spaces, and our events. We are seeking an Executive Administrative Assistant who shares that same standard of care and brings it to their own work: someone who finds real satisfaction in getting the details right, elevating the everyday experience of the team, and supporting leaders who think the same way. Priorities here can shift overnight, and that's part of what makes the role energizing — you'll find momentum and variety motivating, not exhausting. This Executive Administrative Assistant will support Director and/or Senior Director-level leaders within this organization. This role extends beyond individual executive support — you'll also provide administrative support to the broader teams these leaders manage.
