Design Manager, Content - Health

Apple's Health team is looking for an experienced design leader who loves being close to the work. You'll join a growing creative team — working alongside clinical experts and world-class technologists — and bring the kind of collaborative, design-obsessed leadership that makes a team thrive. Together, you'll shape content and technology that helps Apple customers live healthier, more informed lives.

The Design Manager will own the creative direction of content across all media formats — setting the bar for quality, overseeing design work in digital and video, and commissioning illustration and photography. You will be a strategic thinker and skilled communicator with a proven track record of planning and executing within a highly collaborative team. This is a player-coach role: you'll stay close to the work and the people making it, while also serving as a trusted creative voice for leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

• Passion for Apple, its products, and its customers

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience leading creative at a media company, editorial brand, or content-forward digital platform
