Imagine what you could do in a place where vivid imaginations are celebrated as a super power? Consider what it might be like to work alongside people who celebrate such a rich culture of collaboration that your simple idea could become the next groundbreaking technology that could change the world. This is the Music Creation Apps team at Apple. The music apps at Apple have had a long and cherished history. Starting with Logic Pro in 2004, it quickly established a platform for innovation resulting in incredible apps like GarageBand, MainStage, Logic Remote and Voice Memos. Some 20 years later their collective impact on the industry is immeasurable having helped to fuel the work of countless artists and producers. We're very proud of how Logic Pro has grown to represent our most cutting-edge technologies designed expressly to ignite creativity. Only at Apple could we design an ecosystem which allows for an artist to sing a melody into Voice Memos, then sculpt it into a beat with Logic Pro for iPad, and then mix it all together in Spatial audio using Logic Pro for Mac. It's clear that music apps at Apple continue to cover an ever expanding set of creative experiences, no matter where inspiration strikes. Today, we are looking for a highly motivated Product Manager to build on this legacy and help to fuel it for the next generation of artists and producers - all with an eye to leverage emerging technologies, such as machine learning and AI. This Product Manager should also help to foster strong relationships across the 3rd-party ecosystem of sound processing/instruments plug-ins and hardware device manufacturers. This multifaceted role combines both product management and product marketing together - as we believe there is simply there is no better person to communicate why a product is meaningful, than the same person that helped drive its creation. As a Product Manager at Apple, you will be the individual representing the customer voice during product development, while also creating the launch story and speaking to the media. The role includes defining new features that will delight users, drive growth, and help to shape the future of Apple's industry-leading Apps ecosystem. You'll have the opportunity to work with incredible hardware and software teams from across the company, handling both inbound and outbound marketing to drive the development, introduction, and evolution of our growing set of music creation products. Dynamic, creative people and innovative technologies are the norm here. Are you passionate about creating compelling products? And like us, is music in your DNA? Then we want to hear from you!
