As a Total Rewards Technology Product Leader, you will play a pivotal role in driving the strategic direction and implementation of solutions across Apple's technology platforms for Total Rewards. Collaborating closely with business partners and engineering teams, you will lead a team that defines requirements, designs product solutions, and coordinates the execution and delivery of initiatives that enhance the Apple employee experience, streamline Total Rewards processes, and support strategic goals. This individual uses their extensive knowledge of the products and the Total Rewards functions to drive roadmaps and helps to set vision and strategy to drive continual improvement and value — including identifying and scaling agentic AI capabilities that unlock new levels of efficiency and personalization.
