About The Position

At Apple, we donʼt just create products. We create products, services, and experiences that redefine what customers expect and revolutionize entire industries. Join the team that dreams up what’s next. The Apple TV app team is seeking a Lead Product Manager to drive the vision, strategy, and execution of our core Apple TV experience across all devices — from the smallest screen in your pocket to the biggest screen in your living room.

You know how to balance quality, consistency, and platform nuance — and how to scale both products and teams.
