Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other's ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It's the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you'll do more than join something - you'll add something. Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly blends digital content with your physical space. It will allow us to do the things we love in ways never before possible - all while staying connected to the people around us. Our fast-growing creative and technical team is looking for a Post Production Executive to operationally lead the post production aspect of creating Apple Immersive Videos for the Apple Vision Pro, not just for a single project but building our department's process across all projects we touch. This role would be responsible for building and communicating schedules and budgets, streamlining internal processes and handoffs between departments, and building partnerships that will support our efforts. They will be expected to integrate into existing workflows at the outset, but take the lead on crafting a workflow that will evolve with the team as we grow. This is a key role in shaping the future of our team and work, so if innovation and all the challenges that come along with it is exciting rather than daunting, this role could be a fit for you.
