You will be responsible for pricing-related operational processes pertaining to the App Store and several of Apple’s subscription offerings.

In addition, you will prioritize and schedule projects, determine when compromises must be made between scope and timeline, and provide guidance on the general approach. To be a successful leader for this team, you will need to understand the technical details of each project and be hands-on. The team works on dozens of projects in parallel so being organized and having the ability to switch quickly between projects is also essential. Although this is a manager role, you will lead projects as an individual contributor, which includes conducting analyses, reviewing contracts, configuring the system, and managing various operational tasks. For projects you do not spearhead, you will review the team members’ analyses, documentation, and implementation plans. Since you will be ultimately responsible for each project’s success, it is critical for you to be comfortable working within the details and being hands-on. Through this, you will become an expert in how the pricing system works and understand the complex logic and calculations that it supports. A typical project could include steps such as the following: • Developing a thorough understanding of business objectives • Reviewing relevant partner contracts and clarifying key points with lawyers • Providing input to partner contract updates, such as new rates and clauses • Determining how to configure the pricing system to meet objectives and contractual requirements • Carrying out detailed analyses to ensure the approach will achieve the desired results • Testing the approach in QA systems • Working with engineers and product teams to clarify system functionality and troubleshoot issues • Documenting the approach and following compliance processes for approvals and sign-offs • Configuring the system and checking output in production • Drafting external communications to partners and customers • Keeping key stakeholders informed of progress and coordinating with numerous organizations • Monitoring production systems to ensure successful implementation Since the pricing team interfaces with many different functions, you will be expected to build strong relationships and credibility across the organization. Other teams should view you as the go-to person for pricing questions and pricing initiatives. Finally, at Apple, we highly value innovation. It will be key for you to identify opportunities to improve the team’s processes and upgrade the various tools used.
