Apple’s app ecosystem has helped creators, dreamers, and learners of all ages and backgrounds build a brighter future and a better world with their innovative apps. For families, our mission carries a particular importance — to ensure that children and teens have access to experiences that are thoughtful, age-appropriate, and reflective of Apple's values. We are seeking an experienced and motivated Senior Product Manager who is passionate about family-centered design and the app ecosystem to join the Marketplace Technologies team.
