It’s the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it. iCloud is one of Apple’s largest and most strategically important services-it’s scale extends to billions of customers around the world.

This is a role for a leader who combines sharp business acumen and technical credibility with the strategic foresight to see beyond today’s systems to influence diverse stakeholders around a unified vision. You are deeply curious and informed about global markets, technology and AI trends yet you remain anchored on building experiences that create meaningful value for end users. Success in this role requires a relentless focus on product craft, ensuring that every strategic decision and detail reflects Apple’s standards.
