At Apple, we believe our most important resource—our soul—is our people. We're looking for a passionate Product Manager to help shape the future of the technology that brings extraordinary people to Apple. This role will partner with business and engineering teams to design, build, and continuously improve tools that power how we attract, evaluate, and hire talent.

Responsibilities

• Translate recruiting business needs into clear product requirements that improve efficiency, compliance, and create an exceptional candidate experience.
• Partner with engineering and cross-functional teams to design, deliver, and continuously improve ATS features and integrations.
• Manage the full product lifecycle — from research and requirements gathering to launch, adoption, and ongoing optimization.
• Anticipate and manage upstream and downstream dependencies across multiple systems and stakeholders.
• Facilitate complex discussions by uncovering the "why" behind requests and driving decisions that balance business and technical tradeoffs.
• Visualize concepts in real time (slides, whiteboards, documents) to clarify options and capture decisions.
• Communicate effectively across audiences — from executives to recruiters to engineers — building alignment and trust.
• Ensure recruiting processes and tools meet compliance requirements, while designing user-friendly solutions and intuitive workflows.
• Maintain a problem-solving mindset and proactively address blockers to keep projects on track.
• Collaborate across time zones (Pacific time and India) as part of a global team.

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of HR technology product management experience, including hands-on delivery with engineering teams.
• Experience in an in-house recruiting product or process role designing and implementing cross-system recruiting processes from design through delivery, including ongoing support and continuous improvement.
• Strong ability to analyze and manage cross-functional dependencies (business, technical and legal/regulatory).
• Track record of driving clarity in ambiguous situations and enabling quick, informed tradeoff decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to influence without authority, build consensus, and drive decisions across diverse teams and leadership levels.
• Skilled at listening to stakeholders and translating requests into solutions that solve the underlying business problems.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills with varied stakeholders (executives, recruiters, hiring managers, engineering, operations, legal, privacy, etc.).

Preferred Qualifications

• A self-starter with a deep sense of user empathy and an innate drive to solve complex problems and craft extraordinary user experiences.
• Familiarity with recruiting compliance requirements and the creativity to solution within regulatory boundaries.
