About The Position

Imagine what you could do here. The people here at Apple don’t just create
products — they create the kind of wonder that’s revolutionized entire
industries. 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. At Data Solutions & Initiatives (DSI), we operate under
the Worldwide Sales Organization, dedicated to creating cutting-edge tools that
enhance and empower our sales teams. We are looking for a technology forward
Product Designer who thrives in technical complexity. In this role, you will own
the end-to-end design of complex data products—from ambiguous problem framing to
high-fidelity execution.

DESCRIPTION

As a DSI Product Designer, you won't just hand off mockups; you will prototype
with code, facilitate strategic workshops, and design the "why" behind our AI
empowered tools. You will serve as a bridge between complex financial algorithms
and intuitive user experiences, mentoring colleagues and driving product vision
with minimal guidance.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in Product Design or UX, with a portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of complex applications (dashboarding, fintech, or enterprise tools).
• Code Literacy: Proficiency in HTML/CSS and basic JavaScript/React. You must be comfortable building prototypes in the browser.
• AI Integration: Demonstrated ability to use AI tools for prompting, synthesis, or asset generation.
• Strategic Facilitation: Proven experience leading workshops and synthesizing research into decisions and flows.
• Design Systems: Experience maintaining component libraries and understanding how to scale design patterns.
• Data Fluency: Ability to use metrics, EDA, heatmaps, and A/B tests to support design logic.
• Communication: Strong storytelling skills; ability to explain complex design choices to non-designers and business stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

• A passion for Financial Technology (Fintech) or Enterprise Data Solutions.
• Experience designing for "Explainable AI" or predictive data models.
• Grit and autonomy: Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where requirements shift.
• Bachelor’s degree in Interaction Design, HCI, Industrial Design, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.

Responsibilities

• Drive Clarity in Ambiguity: Independently break down open-ended business problems (e.g., predictive sales modeling) into actionable design strategies without waiting for detailed requirements.
• Rapid Prototyping (Code + AI): Move beyond static mocks. Build functional prototypes using HTML/CSS/React to test interaction logic and technical feasibility before engineering handoff.
• AI-Augmented Workflows: Leverage AI tools to accelerate ideation, synthesize research, and generate rapid variants to speed up the design cycle.
• Model Explainability (XAI): Design transparent interfaces that explain how and why AI models make specific predictions, ensuring users trust the data.
• Facilitate Alignment: Lead cross-functional workshops (Design Sprints, brainstorming) to align Product Managers, Data Scientists, and Engineers on shared goals.
• System Stewardship: Actively maintain and evolve our Design System, establishing tokens and patterns that ensure consistency across our suite of tools.
• Influence & Mentorship: Mentor junior designers through critiques and pair design sessions, and articulate the "why" behind design decisions to business stakeholders.
