Location: Cupertino, CA/ Austin, TX (Hybrid 3 days On-Site and 2 days Remote)
Duration: 6-12 Months
Job Description:
Data Program Manager (TPM), Legal Operations (Contractor)
Summary
The Applied Data Science team within Legal Operations is building the data and AI foundation that powers one of Apple's most critical legal programs. We are looking for a hands-on Data Program Manager (TPM) to embed within the program and own delivery coordination for the data and analytics workstream — tracking milestones, managing dependencies, writing requirements, and ensuring the team's work stays visible and on track across a complex, cross-functional environment.
This is an engagement for someone who thrives at the intersection of data, technology, and program delivery — and who gets into the details, not just the status updates.
Description
Own end-to-end program management for the data workstream — tracking milestones, managing dependencies, and ensuring delivery against program commitments
Build and maintain program trackers, dependency maps, and status dashboards directly — not delegated, owned
Own the data workstream backlog — actively prioritize, refine, and sequence work with the engineering and analytics team
Run sprint ceremonies — standups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and backlog grooming for the data workstream
Write detailed requirements documents and data specifications — translating business needs into clear, actionable inputs for data engineers, analysts, and architects
Manage multiple concurrent program phases simultaneously, coordinating data delivery commitments across overlapping timelines
Represent the data and analytics workstream in cross-functional forums including technology workstreams, functional teams, and the PMO
Translate data team work — pipelines, integrations, analytics models, data quality efforts — into clear program updates that non-technical stakeholders can act on
Manage intake, prioritization, and requirements for data requests coming from across the program
Identify and surface risks, dependencies, and blockers across the data workstream and elevate as needed
Coordinate with enterprise technology, data platform, and functional teams on data delivery dependencies
Support data release planning and ensure data readiness milestones are met ahead of program releases
Partner with the data and analytics team to ensure program commitments are realistic, well-scoped, and achievable
Minimum Qualifications
5+ years of experience in program management, project management, or technical delivery roles
Experience managing data, analytics, or technology workstreams within large cross-functional programs
Strong understanding of data and analytics concepts — able to engage credibly with data engineers, analysts, and architects
Proven ability to represent technical workstreams to non-technical stakeholders and leadership
Experience working within program management offices (PMO) or large enterprise program structures
Excellent communication and documentation skills — able to produce clear status updates, decision logs, and escalation summaries
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and dependencies simultaneously
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in legal operations, legal tech, or corporate legal environments
Familiarity with legal spend management, eBilling, outside counsel analytics, or LEDES/UTBMS billing data
Experience with data integration programs or data platform delivery
Understanding of agile delivery methodologies
Experience with program management tools (Jira, Smartsheet, Asana, or similar)
