200618115-0836 Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, great ideas have a way of becoming outstanding products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. We believe that if you bring passion and dedication to your job, there's no telling what you could accomplish.

In this leadership role you will set the vision, strategy, and execution bar for a world-class team responsible for Apple's core AI technologies and experiences — including Apple Intelligence, Siri, and the developer and researcher platforms that sit beneath them. This is a role for a rare leader: someone equally fluent in deep technical AI concepts and in the art of compelling product storytelling; someone who can move from engineering roadmap reviews to boardroom narratives without losing a step.

At Apple, Product Management and Product Marketing responsibilities are unified into a single cross-functional Product Management role. You will collaborate intimately with design, engineering, finance, legal, marketing communications, public relations, market research, sales, and support — operating with authority, judgment, and the seniority to make decisions that shape Apple's AI strategy at the highest level. Description You will own the strategy, definition, and launch of Apple's core AI technologies, models, and experiences across our entire ecosystem. Your scope extends beyond any single product or feature — you are accountable for the coherent AI narrative that runs through Apple's operating systems, devices, developer tools, and services.

You will shape how Apple approaches AI at a platform level, making strategic bets on what to build, what to prioritize, and how to tell the story to the world. You will work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI research and the kind of elegant, human-centered experiences Apple is known for.
