The new recruits will also be required to “update radio featuring daily, identifying new songs, chart gainers, and priority releases, as well as highlighting library content and showcase depth of catalogue.”

Successful candidates will report directly to the Head of Music for the Canadian iTunes store, and will be working with other teams within Apple, including including Editorial, Label Relations, Marketing, Sales, Production & Engineering, and others.
