• This is a leadership role at the intersection of Marcom, Product Marketing, Creative, Legal, AI/ML and Engineering. You\'ll oversee a team of Localization Managers and Producers, serve as the strategic localization partner to 15+ cross-functional teams, and help shape how Apple Services communicates globally — at scale and with care.

• Direct experience in international marketing, creative localization and/or marketing operations.
• Excellent written and interpersonal communication skills.
• Direct experience handling sensitive and confidential information with integrity and discretion.
• Ability to be onsite; this role is an in-person, onsite position.
• Role requires quarterly domestic travel; occasional international travel.

Preferred

• Strong operational and technical skillset, with a track record of optimizing complex, high-volume workflows — and the technical fluency to partner with AI/ML and other engineering teams to build the tools and systems that deliver quality localization at speed and scale, without compromising quality.
• Proven ability to align localization strategy with business priorities and engage effectively with diverse business units and stakeholders.
• Experience working collaboratively under pressure, with proven experience working on complex, international, large-scale, time-critical projects.
• Ability to build strong cross-functional partnerships, build consensus amidst ambiguity, and foster trust across teams and levels.
• Strong track record of prioritizing, making decisions quickly and changing course when needed.
• Strategic mindset with the ability to see the big picture and proactively search for ways to scale with limited resources.
• A high degree of cultural sensitivity and experience working with teams across the globe.
• Deep familiarity with the Apple ecosystem of services and hardware (MacOS, iOS, Apple Music, App Store, Apple Podcasts, Apple TV, etc.).
