We are a dynamic team within Apple’s Worldwide Sales organization, Data Solutions & Initiatives (DSI) — focused on driving innovation through product design, engineering, and portfolio management. In our startup-like environment, we move quickly, experiment boldly, and expect our team to take ownership of what they deliver. We are seeking a hands-on AI Solutions Architect with deep technical expertise in Artificial Intelligence and Generative AI who can design, prototype, and implement scalable, high-impact AI solutions.

The ideal candidate is a proactive self-starter who excels in cross-functional collaboration to empower our Sales and Sales Finance organizations.

In addition to deep technical expertise, this role demands exceptional communication and presentation skills. You’ll need to translate complex AI concepts for senior leadership, cross-functional peers, and non-technical partners—ensuring clear alignment, strong collaboration, and high-impact delivery. It’s a unique opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes full ownership of their work from idea to execution.
