Description

Apple's Environment and Supply Chain Innovation team is seeking a Sustainability Reporting Specialist, Global Regulatory Disclosure, to support a growing portfolio of sustainability-focused regulations — spanning climate and energy, human rights and labor, circularity, water use, and waste management.

In this role, you will serve as the central program owner for environmental and social regulatory disclosures, coordinating inputs from global functions and ensuring clear ownership, timelines, risk escalation, and executive-ready reporting updates. You will drive process improvements and enhance data structures while engaging subject matter experts across the organization in deeper technical conversations. You will build new processes, facilitate cross-functional collaboration, and ensure our disclosures reflect Apple's progress on key environmental and social issues — all within structured work streams with clear owners, milestones, and accountability.

The ideal candidate is as comfortable reviewing controls and planning disclosure processes as presenting to senior leaders on complex regulatory topics. This role collaborates across Operations, Legal, Finance, Government Affairs, Environmental Technologies, and other internal teams, as well as with external partners and consultants.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Legal, Environmental Science, Sustainability, or a related field.
7+ years of experience in sustainability, environmental reporting, labor and human rights, regulatory compliance, or a related field.
Demonstrated experience leading complex, multi-stakeholder projects with cross-functional teams.
Experience engaging with and presenting to senior leaders on regulatory and reporting topics, with proficiency in Keynote or equivalent tools.
Experience with reporting software and disclosure frameworks such as Workiva and XBRL.
Extensive knowledge of global sustainability and financial regulations, including ISSB, CSDDD, CSRD, and ESRS frameworks.
Strong data management, analysis, and report writing skills.

Preferred Qualifications

Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or Chartered Accountant (CA) or legal/regulatory background.
Experience spanning financial reporting, internal controls, audit, risk management, and sustainability reporting.
Experience leading climate scenario analysis or other risk-focused frameworks.
Experience managing project planning, timeline estimation, issue tracking, and cross-functional documentation.
Experience conducting audits and working with third-party auditors or regulatory bodies.
Proven track record developing and implementing sustainability disclosure strategies in compliance with environmental regulations.
