Apple’s Ads team is looking for a Product Designer in Cupertino, CA (onsite) to shape Apple Ads by designing clear, effective advertiser experiences from early exploration through launch and refinement. You’ll work across a connected set of tools where design craft, clarity, and trust matter, while exploring how intelligence can improve what advertisers can do.
This role offers the chance to partner closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, content designers, and other designers to define the right problems, build flows that hold up under real requirements, and evolve shared design patterns as the platform grows.
What you’ll do
- Design clear, effective advertiser workflows spanning campaign creation and management, creative, reporting, insights, and account experiences.
- Turn complex requirements and customer needs into intuitive flows, interactions, prototypes, and detailed designs.
- Explore how recommendations, automation, and conversational or agentic experiences can help advertisers understand performance and take action, while maintaining clarity, control, and trust.
- Prototype early and often to validate ideas, align partners, and resolve interaction questions before implementation.
- Collaborate with engineering throughout development by addressing constraints, defining behavior and states, and supporting a high-quality shipped experience.
- Apply and help improve shared design system patterns across Apple’s advertising tools.
- Use research, customer feedback, product data, and critique to challenge assumptions and refine solutions.
- Communicate design rationale clearly, surface tradeoffs early, and contribute constructively across disciplines.
What you bring
- Experience with advertising, analytics, commerce, business tools, or other data-rich products.
- Experience designing across multiple connected workflows or a growing product platform.
- Experience working with and contributing to a design system.
- Interest or experience designing useful applications of AI, recommendations, automation, or conversational interfaces.
- Ability to balance immediate product delivery with exploration of future experiences.
- Familiarity with Apple’s design tools and presentation practices, including Sketch and Keynote.
- 5+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio showing strong interaction and visual design, clear problem solving, and shipped work.
- Experience designing complex workflows for web-based products, professional tools, or comparable software.
- Ability to turn ambiguous problems into clear concepts and carry a design through detailed execution.
- Strong prototyping skills, including choosing the right fidelity to explore and communicate an idea.
- Experience collaborating closely with product and engineering partners through implementation.
- Understanding of accessibility and inclusive design principles.
- Strong communication skills, openness to feedback, and the ability to explain design decisions to varied audiences.
