Pms Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

The people at Apple don't just create products - they build things that change how industries work. The Services UI Localization team is part of that. We deliver localization across App Store, Apple Music, TV App, Fitness+, Apple News, iCloud, Maps, Enterprise, Identity Management Services, and many more products - 50+ languages, 150+ markets, every Apple platform - and we're actively transforming how that work gets done through AI.
This role sits inside the UI Localization PM team, where PMs are already experimenting and building automation solutions. We're looking for someone with deeper expertise who can raise the collective bar - serving as the team's center of gravity on AI and agentic workflows, helping teammates go further, and bringing rigor to how we build and prioritize together. This is a collaborative role as much as a technical one.
Description
Our UI Loc PMs are embedded in Apple's feature development lifecycle - attending kickoffs for new services and features, scoping localization work, managing tasks through translation and review, and producing planning and reporting deliverables at scale. You'll work directly with them to identify where automation can eliminate or reduce manual work, build those solutions, and bring them into how the team actually operates. You'll also proactively spot opportunities the team hasn't seen yet and push thinking forward.
Your work will be shaped in close partnership with our Strategy, AI/ML, and tooling organizations - what you build connects to a broader platform rather than working in silos. Your primary output is the agents, automations, and process improvements that make project management and delivery faster, smarter, and more scalable.","responsibilities":"Build and Deploy - Design and build AI agents, automated workflows, and integrations that reduce manual work for Localization PMs - covering status tracking, intake coordination, data processing, project scaffolding, handoff automation, and more
