INTRODUCTION
Apple's Vision Products Group is looking for a strategic product design leader to help define the future of health, wellbeing, and fitness experiences across vision products. You will translate ambiguous opportunities at the intersection of spatial computing, wearables, consumer health, and human behavior into clear first-party product direction by identifying high-impact opportunities, shaping early concepts, defining what should be built, and helping cross-functional teams bring those experiences to life.
The ideal candidate is a product leader who thinks deeply and works concretely, turning complexity into direction. They have helped build consumer health, wellbeing, or fitness products, and they know how to balance customer impact, behavioral insight, technical feasibility, and design quality. They are equally comfortable framing a new opportunity, working through tradeoffs with design and engineering, synthesizing user and market signals, and leading executive conversations that drive clarity and alignment.
DESCRIPTION
This role connects strategy to execution. You will identify the health, wellbeing, and fitness opportunities with the greatest potential for customer impact, shape first-party experiences, and help teams move from exploratory ideas to validated product direction. You will bring strong product judgment to emerging technologies and new interaction modalities, including spatial computing, sensor-driven experiences, personalization, and multimodal interfaces, staying close to prototypes, user insights, and technical constraints so that direction becomes experiences that can be designed, built, tested, and delivered.
You are a systems thinker, clear communicator, and cross-functional leader who operates effectively through ambiguity in a highly collaborative and ownership-oriented manner. You can synthesize complex information, identify the decision that needs to be made, and bring teams together around a clear path forward. If you are curious, energized by ambiguity, and motivated by the opportunity to help millions of people live healthier, more active lives through thoughtfully designed products, we would love to hear from you.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Product Design Manager
Translate your portfolio for U.S. hiring managers
U.S. product design teams evaluate managers on systems thinking and cross-functional leadership, not just visual output. Frame your portfolio around design decisions that influenced product strategy, team structure, or business outcomes to pass specialist-occupation scrutiny.
Target companies with active LCA filing history
Employers who have previously filed Labor Condition Applications for design or product roles already understand the DOL certification process. Prioritizing these companies shortens your timeline from offer to sponsorship approval.
Secure a written job offer before LCA filing begins
Your employer can't file the LCA with the DOL until a formal offer exists. Push for an offer letter that specifies your job title, start date, and work location, since the LCA must match these details exactly or require an amendment.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for your LCA and consulate prep
The LCA and DS-160 must align on employer details, role description, and wage level. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles the entire process from offer acceptance to consulate appointment, reducing amendment risk from documentation mismatches.
Prepare a specialty occupation letter tied to your degree
Consular officers assess whether a Senior Product Design Manager role genuinely requires a specific bachelor's degree. Draft a support letter with your employer that connects the role's HCI, UX research, or design systems responsibilities directly to your Australian degree field.
Clarify remote and hybrid arrangements before your visa interview
If your role involves distributed teams or partial remote work, the LCA must list every worksite where you'll work more than sporadically. Resolve your work location arrangement with your employer before the consulate interview to avoid LCA amendments after approval.
E-3 Visa Senior Product Design Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Senior Product Design Manager jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for Senior Product Design Manager roles where employers are open to E-3 sponsorship, filtering out positions that only support H-1B visa or require existing U.S. work authorization. Because the E-3 has no lottery, employers who sponsor one Australian candidate face far less administrative risk than H-1B sponsorship, which makes the conversation easier to open.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Senior Product Design Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for E-3 purposes?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as interaction design, human-computer interaction, visual communication, or a closely related discipline. Generic management roles that accept any degree field can struggle to meet the specialty occupation standard, so the job description needs to explicitly tie the role's core responsibilities to a particular area of study.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Australian product design managers?
The E-3 has a 10,500-visa annual allocation that has never been exhausted, so there's no lottery and no random selection. H-1B sponsorship requires entering a lottery with roughly a one-in-four chance of selection in recent years. For a Senior Product Design Manager with an Australian passport, the E-3 is the direct path: apply after receiving an offer, attend a consulate interview in Australia, and start work once the visa is issued.
Can I change employers or get promoted while on an E-3?
Changing employers requires a new LCA and either a new consulate appointment or a change-of-status filing if you're already in the U.S. A promotion to a materially different role, such as moving from individual-contributor management to VP of Design, may also require a new LCA if the job duties or wage level change significantly. Plan the timing with your new employer before giving notice to your current one.
