Finance Lead Visa Sponsorship Jobs in California

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! We are looking for a transformational leader to help shape the financial future of one of the world's most dynamic and influential companies.

DESCRIPTION

We're looking for a Finance Transformation Lead to focus on Payment Modernization and architect the payment infrastructure that supports Apple’s various lines of business. You will drive the finance strategy and execution of large-scale initiatives that modernize how Apple routes, and disburses payments to partners across multiple legal entities, currencies, and storefronts globally. This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of finance, technology, and payments innovation. A core element of this role is building the foundation of a modern, in-house payment platform that enables real-time payments, real-time statements, multi-bank and multi-rail routing, and the flexibility to onboard new payment rails. This foundation will serve as a scalable platform capability that supports all of Apple's lines of business. You will champion the “why” building compelling, rigorous business cases that articulate the strategic rationale for investing in payment modernization, from eliminating risk to unlocking new revenue streams. You will deliver against those business cases with discipline and accountability, and communicate roadmaps and strategy with clarity and conviction at all levels including CFO staff presentations. The ideal candidate brings a strong foundation in technical program/product management for payments, treasury, and/or financial services, combined with a proven ability to deliver large-scale transformation programs. You will partner closely with product managers, delivery leads, EPMs, engineering leads, treasury operations, and business partners across the company to drive the adoption of next-generation payment technologies. If you thrive in complex, ambiguous environments and want your work to directly impact how one of the world’s most influential companies pays its global ecosystem, this is your role.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• 10+ years of experience leading complex, large-scale payments, treasury, or finance transformation programs at an enterprise scale.
• 7+ years of technical product/program management experience within payments, financial services, FinTech, or enterprise finance organizations.
• Proven track record delivering large-scale payment system implementations or financial infrastructure modernization across enterprise finance functions.
• Experience in payments, treasury, and/or financial services, and the ability to apply that expertise to the design and execution of payment modernization programs.
• BS/BA degree in Computer Science, Business, Finance, or a related field.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Deep knowledge of payment systems architecture, payment consolidation, multi-bank routing, and disbursement operations at scale, ideally in a global, multi-entity, multi-currency environment.
• Understanding of payment rails and emerging payment technologies.
• Knowledge of treasury operations (cash management, liquidity, FX, intercompany) and/or tax (withholding, VAT, transfer pricing) and how these intersect with payment system design.
• Experience with payments regulation, including payment services directives, cross-border compliance, AML/KYC, payment licensing, and evolving digital asset frameworks.
• Demonstrated experience leading large-scale, multi-year, cross-functional programs from discovery through deployment across complex, matrixed organizations.
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior engineering, business, and finance leaders within a matrixed organization.
• Proficiency with ERP systems (e.g., SAP), payment platforms, automation tools, and data visualization tools applied to financial operations and transformation programs.
• Formal project or program management qualification such as PMP, PRINCE2, or equivalent.
• Degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field; an advanced degree (e.g., MBA, MSc Finance) or professional accounting qualification (e.g., CPA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA) is a plus.
• Background or coursework in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical discipline, with an appreciation for how technology platforms, data architecture, and software development intersect with payment modernization.
• Hands-on experience with program management tools and methodologies (e.g., Agile, Waterfall, hybrid frameworks) applied to enterprise-scale payments or finance programs.
• Exceptional communication and executive presentation skills, including experience presenting complex programs, business cases, and strategic roadmaps to CFO-level staff and senior leadership.
• Comfort navigating ambiguity; a proactive problem-solver who drives issues to resolution with or without complete information.
• Intellectual curiosity and a continuous improvement mindset, always seeking smarter, more scalable ways to operate.

COMPENSATION

• Base pay range for this role is between $178,800 and $268,400, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
