About The Position

Imagine what you could do here! At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming extraordinary products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Bring passion and dedication to your job, and there's no telling what you could accomplish. The people here at Apple don't just craft products - they build 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. The People Technology team is looking for a Learning Platform Product Manager to own the Apple learning platform end-to-end — from the content creation environment, through delivery and backend administration tools, all the way to the learner and manager experience. This role manages the full product: the authoring platform (LCAP), the learning management system (LMS / IMC), the audience services (ARMOR), and the learner-facing experience (Learner UI). The ideal candidate combines strong product judgment with technical fluency — able to translate the needs of business partners and content providers into a clear, prioritized roadmap, and to partner closely with engineering, program management, and UX to deliver it. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role at the center of how Apple's people learn and grow. You will be the connective tissue between the learning business teams and the technology teams that build the platform — and the single product voice ensuring the experience is coherent from authoring to delivering for the learner.

Requirements

• 4+ years in product management or technical product ownership in content/learning systems
• Strong stakeholder management across many partners with competing priorities, proven ability to champion a collaborative one-Apple mindset and align priorities into a coherent roadmap
• Proven ability to author clear requirements and acceptance criteria and drive them through design, development, UAT, and release
• Experience owning a product end-to-end across multiple components (e.g., content/CMS, delivery/LMS, and a user-facing UI)
• Effective communicator, able to translate technical detail into business context and present to and drive decisions with senior leadership
• Experience partnering closely with engineering, QE, EPM, and UX teams to deliver production-ready solutions
• Familiarity with release management, UAT coordination, and issue-tracking / backlog tooling (e.g., Radar or equivalent)
• Comfort operating in complex, fast-moving environments with many concurrent workstreams
• Systems-thinking mindset, connecting content, delivery, data, and learner experience across the full platform
• Detail-oriented, with strong documentation discipline and appreciation for operational and governance expectations

Nice To Haves

• Experience with learning platforms, LMS/CMS, or content authoring systems
• Familiarity with localization and translation workflows at scale
• Exposure to AI-assisted content generation, skills taxonomies, or agentic workflows
• Experience in large, global enterprise environments — and in technology or retail environments that care deeply about user experience and intuitive design
• Background in L&D, learning technology, or instructional design tooling

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary product liaison and manage stakeholder relationships with partners and the community of 150+ content providers — translating business needs to requirements, and aligning competing priorities into a single coherent roadmap
• Own end-to-end requirements and authoring of acceptance criteria for LCAP, LMS, Armor, and the Learner UI — partnering closely with UX on design handoff and capturing business value, complexity, and technical feasibility
• Partner on the platform's AI roadmap — GenAI content authoring, skills and proficiency tagging, and AI-assisted translation — bringing emerging capabilities into the authoring and delivery experience
• Coordinate release planning, UAT, and platform delivery with engineering and stakeholders, supporting migrations and releases as part of requirements delivery
• Represent the platform in cross-functional 1:1s, track-lead forums, and program syncs, keeping stakeholders aligned on scope, timing, and trade-offs
• Deliver leadership updates and quarterly readouts — communicating platform health, roadmap, and outcomes to senior stakeholders
• Own provider communications and announcements — release notes, platform news, documentation, and change management — across the provider community
• Drive daily and weekly platform syncs surface risks early, and drive production-issue triage and resolution to protect the learner experience
• Support annual budget and vendor-estimate cycles for the platform
