Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of becoming great products, services, and customer experiences very quickly. Are you passionate about turning AI capabilities into products that people use? Do you thrive at the intersection of product development, user experience, and emerging technology? Do you have a passion for building solutions that bridge the gap between prototype and production? The Legal and Global Security (LGS) Operations team is seeking an AI Product Development Lead to head the product engineering and building efforts within our legal tech ecosystem.

This is a unique opportunity for a hands-on leader who can build prototypes, manage a team, and navigate the path from concept to production. You will be the connective tissue between what AI can do and what the business needs it to do — extending internal AI platforms with legal domain context and embedding intelligent capabilities into the workflows attorneys use every day.
