The ideal candidate will take on the ambitious work of improving our data collection systems and processes while managing key project timelines and crafting report narratives to drive results. ## 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.

Craft timely, high-quality responses to global environmental and social regulatory disclosures, including narrative content that meets regulatory requirements. ## Min…
