About The Position

The Senior Content Production Specialist is a key team player in ensuring new
design intentions of Apple’s iWork products. In this role, you will provide
technical production expertise combined with an extraordinary sense of design
and technical acumen to maintain the high-level design and quality standards
that are the hallmark of Apple. We’re looking for an experienced Production
Specialist/Engineer who is passionate about technical production and workflow
processes. You’ll work with designers and engineers to ensure a successful
product for both iWork and its users.

You will be leading the process of translating designs into technical products —
templates and themes — across all three iWork apps. This position requires you
to have impeccable production skills — layout, typography, color — and have a
keen eye for inconsistencies. You will also have a background in management of
production teams, and expertise in complex workflows. As you work through file
creation, you will need to keep in mind how the end user will experience the
template and the app on both macOS and iOS, as well as any new app features
being introduced. An organized individual, with accurately structured files, is
essential to the workflow. The position requires deliverables to be provided
under tight deadlines — exceptional attention to detail is a requirement, as
well as an ability to problem solve, easily deal with tedious tasks, mediate,
and cope with rapid change. Above all, the role requires a dedicated individual
who understands Apple's high standards and design aesthetic.
