About the job
Working at TD SYNNEX
TD SYNNEX is a globally leading company in IT distribution. We connect technology manufacturers with sales partners (from specialist retailers to retailers to corporate B2B partners and IT specialists) and ensure that modern IT solutions are successfully implemented – from hardware and software to cloud, AI, and service offerings.
With around 23,000 employees, more than 150,000 customers, and over 2,500 technology partners, we are active in over 100 countries. Our global headquarters are located in the USA, with strong regional teams – also in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
The IT industry is one of the most dynamic sectors. At TD SYNNEX, this means: daily variety, new challenges, and the opportunity to actively shape the digital future. Digitalisation, efficient processes, and innovative business models are just as important to us as collaboration, personal responsibility, and continuous development.
To strengthen our Apple/Mobile team, we are looking for a motivated talent with strategic business understanding rather than mere brand enthusiasm as Category Manager Apple (m/f/d)

Analytical networker: You anticipate market trends, translate data into strategies, and maintain reliable relationships in the Swiss channel at eye level.
Resilient doer mentality: Even in busy phases (such as product launches), you keep an overview, set clear priorities, and remain focused on the set deadlines.
