Customer Experience Designer - Consumer Lending & E-Commerce

Today Cupertino, CA

At Apple, every detail of the customer journey matters - from the first moment of discovery to the instant a device becomes part of someone's life. Apple Financial Services plays a critical role in that journey, enabling customers to access Apple products through financing and monthly ownership programs. We believe these experiences should be as simple and intuitive as the products themselves. We're looking for a Customer Experience Designer who combines the craft of design with the rigor of product management. In this role, you won't just design interfaces - you'll own financing scenarios, shape customer journeys for hardware subscriptions and upgrades, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver them at global scale.

Description

In this role, you will: - Define and manage consumer lending scenarios for Apple Financial Services programs, covering monthly financing, upgrades, and trade-ins. - Partner with design and engineering teams to create frictionless e-commerce and checkout flows that span Apple.com (http://apple.com/), retail, and partner channels. - Build journeys that integrate eligibility checks, financing approvals, checkout, and lifecycle management into one seamless customer experience. - Develop journey maps, wireframes, and prototypes to visualize scenarios and align cross-functional teams. - Translate insights from customer research, analytics, and retail feedback into design improvements that scale globally. - Ensure every step of the journey - from financing application to device upgrade - reflects Apple's standard of clarity, trust, and delight.
