Role Number:200214681

As a Product Manager on the Commerce team, you will have the opportunity to create amazing experiences for customers who are purchasing digital goods and services from content creators, developers, and Apple! Our commerce platform supports billions of transactions in over 170 countries, so your contributions are sure to make a big impact. You will play a pivotal role in researching new features and optimizations that ensure Apple offers a best-in-class commerce product. This role will require close collaboration with global and cross-functional teams such as Engineering, Business, Product Marketing, Legal, Fraud and Finance. You will define product requirements and plan the strategy for execution, while working closely with business analysts and data scientists to analyze, experiment, and iterate throughout the product lifecycle. You will take part in building innovative ML strategies to solve challenging problems that will positively impact Apple services.

This role focuses on improving Commerce platform performance by removing purchase friction for customers during one-time transactions, and reducing involuntary churn from subscriptions. This requires a deep understanding of financial authorizations and subsequent declines across all accepted payment methods such as credit/debit, digital wallets, and carrier billing. You will be asked to optimize the platform by reducing the billing error rate and increasing the recovery rate, which minimizes service interruption for customers and increases conversion for partners and developers.
