The Apple Services Product Design u0026 Marketing organization is seeking a Senior Content Features Producer. Apples entertainment services reach hundreds of millions of customers and what nearly every one of them sees first is content what gets surfaced how its framed and whether it looks like something theyll love. Our team owns this layer translating content design vision into technical execution. We help define and deliver content-driven experiences across services test which of them actually work and build the systems that let creative teams produce at a scale no manual process could a senior individual contributor you will own a portfolio of those features end to end deciding what they should be writing the creative requirements engineering builds from and carrying them to launch. Creative experimentation and creative data are a core part of that portfolio: you will work with Content Strategy to shape briefs that ask an answerable question guide the development of creative made specifically to test it and turn the results into practice that changes how creative gets made role asks for two ranges at once the patience to set a years direction and the instinct to catch a single broken fallback state the week before launch. You are credible in a design review and in an engineering review. You would rather create clarity than wait for it. Most of all you care what it feels like to be the user on the other side of the screen: you are drawn to work that is visually rich and genuinely useful at once and you treat the trade-off between the two as a problem to solve rather than a given.

This role is where content design vision becomes technical execution.
