Marcom is Apple's Global Marketing Communications group that oversees all of Apple's advertising and marketing campaigns. Marcom's Design Team is responsible for design and art direction, working collaboratively to define the look and feel of Apple products across all platforms.

We are looking for an experienced Product Graphics Design Producer to join our in-house team. In this role, you will work with a team of talented designers to help facilitate the execution of product graphic design that reflects Apple standards for simplicity and elegance. The day- to-day expectations vary, so we're looking for a self-starter who is able to tackle this role in a fast-paced environment.

The Product Graphics team works with multiple organizations across Apple to execute Apple's branding on our products. Deliverables range from developing and placement of graphics across all Apple products including Apple logos, glyphs, personalization, regulatory markings, and other regionally mandated on-product markings. The Product Graphics Producer manages schedules for several categories of products and partners with a range of cross-functional teams outside of Marcom from legal, regulatory, environmental, product manufacturing, product design and industrial design. The producer helps ensure artwork is accurate and deliverables are timely at each stage of design development. The producer also provides oversight on project status, priorities and approvals for launch execution.

Key Qualifications

• 7-10 years of Project Management and design management experience working at either a Design agency or in-house as part of a team developing graphic design solutions for technology or similar products.
• You care deeply about product graphics and design. You have appreciation for quality, can communicate clearly, and have patience for the process-both engineering and design.
• You have a demonstrated ability to learn quickly and can be flexible in evolving environments.
• You have knowledge of digital assets and mechanical build workflow and approval cycle.
• You collaborate and demonstrate a flexible approach to working across multiple teams and styles.
• You have strong communication and interpersonal skills and can handle ambiguity with grace.
• You love the details (highly meticulous), simultaneously demonstrating the ability to envision a macro-view of design objectives and foresee potential roadblocks.
• You are inventive and enthusiastic, a problem solver, at ease with being part of a growing organization. You dream of working in a creative environment, learn quickly, and you can accommodate rapid change.
• You are enthusiastic about supporting team-culture, are a strong team partner and coach.
• You have basic knowledge of database management, computer skills and Adobe Creative suite.

As Product Graphics Producers we set up kick-off and reviews with cross-functional partners and collaborate with others toward the project plan including the key dates, prioritization and the operational strategy around creative solutions. We collaborate with cross-functional teams - including engineering, product development, manufacturing design, industrial design, and operations - to understand the project roadmap, design limitations and requirements as it relates to product development (both domestic and international requirements that are relevant for product distribution).

The Product Graphics Producer partners with the designers to ensure Apple design consistency across the product ecosystem. We understand the legal, regulatory, environmental, and manufacturing constraints related to each category of products and relay/partner with our designers to implement. We help facilitate design direction and brainstorm with Product Graphics Designers and Industrial Design to develop and finalize graphic studies. We develop, revise and maintain schedules inclusive of cross-functional needs and key dates.

We create and organize projects including kick-off check list, schedules, reference material, specifications, and compliance requirements. We are responsible for Product Graphics deliverables in our tracking tool, maintain and distribute weekly priorities to team members, all while working on multiple highly detailed projects. The Product Graphics Producer consistently re-evaluates workflow for efficiencies and identify tools and process improvement opportunities for the group.
