Strategic Partnerships Manager, APAC - Apple Vision Pro

Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something. Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary spatial computer that seamlessly blends digital content with your physical space. It will allow us to do the things we love in ways never before possible — all while staying connected to the people around us.

Apple's Vision Products Group (VPG) is looking for a savvy individual to drive partnership initiatives in the APAC region (with a strong focus on China) to develop the spatial computing ecosystem and deliver new and cutting edge experiences for Apple Vision Pro. You’ll play a major role in identifying the appropriate use cases, applications and partners leveraging the full potential of spatial computing in both the enterprise and entertainment sectors. Specifically you’ll be in charge of driving adoption of the Apple Immersive Video format across studios, broadcasters, video platforms and video production companies. You’ll also support the adoption of spatial computing across professional industries such as healthcare, automotive, and aviation with a diverse pool of partners, applications and clients. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams to support partners in adopting new technologies, tools, concepts and ways of working. Your success will be measured by your capacity to drive project from ideation to delivery to real customers and by enabling powerful adoption of spatial computing and Apple Vision Pro in APAC across industry leaders and innovators. If you are a dynamic and strategic thinker with strong technical proficiency and a passion for forging meaningful partnerships, we invite you to join our team.
