Strategic Product Design, VPG Health & Fitness

Apples Vision Products Group is looking for a strategic product design leader to help define the future of health, wellbeing, and fitness experiences across vision products. You will translate ambiguous opportunities at the intersection of spatial computing, wearables, consumer health, and human behavior into clear first-party product direction by identifying high-impact opportunities, shaping early concepts, defining what should be built, and helping cross-functional teams bring those experiences to life.

The ideal candidate is a product leader who thinks deeply and works concretely, turning complexity into direction. They have helped build consumer health, wellbeing, or fitness products, and they know how to balance customer impact, behavioral insight, technical feasibility, and design quality. They are equally comfortable framing a new opportunity, working through tradeoffs with design and engineering, synthesizing user and market signals, and leading executive conversations that drive clarity and alignment. This role connects strategy to execution. You will identify the health, wellbeing, and fitness opportunities with the greatest potential for customer impact, shape first-party experiences, and help teams move from exploratory ideas to validated product direction. You will bring strong product judgment to emerging technologies and new interaction modalities, including spatial computing, sensor-driven experiences, personalization, and multimodal interfaces, staying close to prototypes, user insights, and technical constraints so that direction becomes experiences that can be designed, built, tested, and delivered.

You are a systems thinker, clear communicator, and cross-functional leader who operates effectively through ambiguity in a highly collaborative and ownership-oriented manner. You can synthesize complex information, identify the decision that needs to be made, and bring teams together around a clear path forward. If you are curious, energized by ambiguity, and motivated by the opportunity to help millions of people live healthier, more active lives through thoughtfully designed products, we would love to hear from you.* Define first-party health, wellbeing, and fitness experiences for vision products, from early opportunity framing through concept, validation, and delivery
