Summary

The people here at Apple don't just build products — they craft the kind of wonder that has revolutionized entire industries. It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation running through everything we do, from breakthrough technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. Apple's Korea Sales team is seeking an exceptional individual to develop and drive new business initiatives, commercial frameworks, and affordability programs that expand customer access to Apple products across all routes to market in Korea.

• Develop and manage executive-level relationships with key partners, driving commercial alignment and ensuring ongoing adherence to Apple's standards.
• Develop and deliver high-impact presentations and strategic storylines to C-level executives, both internally and externally, translating complex data and business challenges into clear, structured, and compelling recommendations.
