Role Number: 200616987-0836

We’re looking for an experienced Community Manager to help support and scale Apple’s presence in the Swift community. In this role, you’ll shape how Apple shows up for developers using Swift — whether they’re learning the language, building great apps, contributing to open source projects, or coming together at events.

You’ll join a growing team building Apple’s developer community strategy from the ground up — with cross-functional collaboration and room to make a lasting impact. If you’re excited to deepen relationships with developers and bring new energy to the way Apple supports its community, we’d love to hear from you. Let's shape how Apple shows up in the developer ecosystem — one contributor, event, and connection at a time.

Description

Swift is one of the most powerful ways to build for Apple platforms — and behind it is a passionate, global community of developers, educators, and contributors from across the ecosystem.

You’ll help design and run developer-facing programs, build relationships with key contributors, and collaborate across Apple to bring community initiatives to life. This is a unique opportunity to build something new at Apple — helping connect deeply with Swift developers across Apple platforms and partnering closely with teams engaged in the open source Swift ecosystem that powers the language’s evolution.

Responsibilities

• Operate and expand community engagement efforts focused on Apple’s developer ecosystem— including contributor support, content campaigns, and recognition programs

• Represent Apple in developer-facing spaces — GitHub, forums, conferences, and digital communities

• Collaborate with teams across Apple to implement developer-facing initiatives aligned with our community strategy

• Help track developer sentiment and engagement across channels, and synthesize insights that inform future efforts and build trust

• Contribute to public-facing content and storytelling — from contributor spotlights to community announcements

• Experiment with new ways of showing up: pilots, prototypes, spotlights, mentoring programs, and more

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in developer community engagement, technical program management, or Developer Relations

• Familiar with the Swift language and its ecosystem, or similar programming languages and technical communities

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong communicator and relationship-builder who can elevate community voices and support contributors across backgrounds

• Can lead programs from concept to execution — organizing timelines, aligning partners, and launching with quality

• Have a thoughtful, authentic presence in technical spaces and enjoy representing your company with humility and clarity

• Energized by building new programs, learning from developers, and helping shape how community shows up at scale

• Experience engaging with developer or technical communities at scale — especially around programming languages, governance models, or contribution frameworks

• Familiarity with the Swift Evolution process and how community feedback informs language direction

• Can turn developer insights into meaningful programs, content, and relationships

• Strong writing skills — technical blog posts, contributor spotlights, community updates

• Understanding of how developers learn — especially students and early-career audiences

• Prior experience at a platform or developer tools company

• Familiarity with GitHub workflows, documentation systems, and community project dynamics
