Administrative Assistant - ASE Operations Admin Team, Apple Services Engineering

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something — you'll add something.

Do you love keeping things running smoothly and being the person others count on to get things done? Are you energized by variety, comfortable wearing multiple hats, and motivated by supporting both people and programs at scale? Do you enjoy building deep expertise while navigating new and different challenges every day? If so, this might be the perfect fit.
