Pricing Operations Automation Lead

Apple•New York, NY

About The Position

Apple's Services provide customers around the world access to an incredible collection of content across apps, music, games, fitness, movies, TV, news, books, cloud storage, and more. Behind every price customers see is a Pricing Operations team that brings those decisions to life with exceptional precision, at a truly global scale. We're looking for a self-directed builder who is equal parts operator and technologist, someone ready to reimagine how pricing initiatives come to life, end-to-end. As the first person in this role, you'll define the function from the ground up: prototyping and building solutions yourself, partnering with Engineering to scale them, and embedding AI and automation into the core of how the team operates. Underpinning it all is a best-in-class validation framework that enables accurate, confident pricing changes deployed globally at scale. You bring a rare combination: the intellectual curiosity to develop deep fluency in complex operational processes, the technical range to build hands-on, the credibility to partner with Engineering as a peer, and the rigor to champion accuracy at every step. If you're energized by fundamentally transforming how work gets done, this role is for you.
