Product Manager, OS Platform Technologies

Apple
Cupertino, CA
Summary

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, you can change the world.

We are looking for a Product Manager to join the Worldwide Product Marketing team and help shape the foundational technologies that power every Apple device. You’ll be behind the invisible magic — the battery that lasts all day, the seamless network handoff, the emergency features that save lives. This is an opportunity to work on the building blocks that underpin our operating systems along with the entire software ecosystem.

In this role, you'll collaborate with world-class engineering teams to define the future of the essential subsystems that underpins Apple operating systems. These include power management, wired and wireless networking, sensors, storage and file system support, as well as virtualization and command-line tooling. You’ll help bring life-saving safety features to market: from advanced warnings of earthquakes or adverse weather events, to helping users share critical information with emergency providers at their times of greatest need. And you’ll launch these innovations to developers at WWDC and to customers worldwide!

We believe that the best person to communicate why a product is meaningful is the same person who helped drive its creation. As a Product Manager at Apple, you will hold dual product management and product marketing responsibilities, and serve as a spokesperson to help explain to the world why your products matter.

If you’re excited by the idea of working at the intersection of technology and liberal arts, combining deep technical understanding and human-centered storytelling, we'd love to hear from you!

Description

This role offers the opportunity to impact billions of users through technologies that power every Apple device. You'll gain exposure to an extraordinary range of technical domains — from power management to networking to life-saving safety features — while collaborating with senior Apple leaders and some of the best marketing and engineering minds in the industry. It’s a role where you'll grow fast and develop expertise across the full product lifecycle.

  • Research and synthesize technology trends, competitive developments, and user feedback to identify product opportunities and inform roadmap decisions
  • Collaborate with software engineering and product design teams to define product strategy and prioritize features across iOS, macOS, and other Apple platforms

  • Develop clear, compelling messaging that positions Apple's platform technologies for developers, press, and consumers
  • Partner with regulatory teams to ensure features meet global requirements and certifications
  • Launch new technologies in coordination with marketing communications, public relations, events, and technical documentation teams
  • Serve as an ambassador for key platform technologies through press briefings, developer engagements, and customer interactions
  • Build strong relationships with engineering leaders, VPs, and cross-functional partners across Apple

Minimum Qualifications

  • 4+ years experience in product marketing and/or product management roles, including at least one entire product development cycle from concept to launch.
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent industry experience.
  • Hands-on experience formulating product messaging and creating outbound marketing for both technical and consumer audiences, and/or partnering with engineering during early research and development to define product strategy and roadmap, and with marketing and public relations to craft positioning, and define marketing activities.
  • Recent technical domain expertise with one or more of the following operating system technologies: networking, virtualization, storage and file systems, power management.
  • Ability to drive communication with key stakeholders, the media, and public, as demonstrated by exceptional presentation skills: developing keynote addresses in an area of deep subject matter expertise, synthesizing information, applying critical thinking and maintaining composure under pressure.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Ability to quickly learn complex technical domains and translate them for diverse audiences — from engineers to executives to everyday users
  • Excellent collaboration skills with evidence of building relationships across disciplines
  • Strong oral and written communication skills, with the ability to craft compelling narratives
  • Comfort leading through influence, even without direct authority
  • Press and media experience preferred
  • Willingness to travel for events like WWDC, product launches, and press briefings
