Manager, Product Manager — Finance Transformation, Payments

The future of enterprise Finance isnt just automated its intelligent. At Apple we dont bolt AI onto existing workflows. We reimagine them from the ground Finance Transformation team is building a new generation of AI-native Finance platforms where intelligent agents surface insights in real time documents process themselves and financial decisions are powered by models that are accurate auditable and trusted at Apple scale. Central to this vision is payments: the lifeblood of global commerce. Were transforming how Apples payment flows are orchestrated reconciled and looking for a visionary Product Manager who sees AI not as a feature but as a new operating model. Someone who can bridge the depth of Finance and the complexity of payments infrastructure with the ambition of cutting-edge machine intelligence and ship products that set the standard for what enterprise AI can this role is different. Most AI PM roles ask you to add intelligence to existing products. This role asks you to build the intelligence layer itself. Youll define how AI agents operate within Apples Finance and Payments ecosystem: how they access live financial data reason over complex payment policy reconcile transactions at scale generate audit-ready outputs and earn the trust of a world-class Finance organization. This is foundational platform work with company-wide role partners closely with internal Payments engineering from a product perspective and requires frequent collaboration with large groups of partners both internal and potentially externally including payment processors banking partners and regulatory stakeholders.
