Description

Within Information Systems & Technology (IS&T), our team is responsible for the enterprise planning capabilities that guide how Apple invests in technology, spanning portfolio management, financial planning, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), workforce capacity, and procurement. Leaders depend on these products to see where money and people are going, what technology really costs, and whether investments match strategic priorities. As a Senior Business Planning Functional Analyst, you'll help connect these disciplines into one coherent planning model, drive key areas of our product roadmap, and mentor analysts across the U.S. and India.

We're seeking a senior professional who blends the strengths of a management consultant, financial analyst, and enterprise product manager. You'll lead major product areas across our business planning suite and help shape how cost, workforce capacity, projects, and services fit together to inform investment decisions. You move easily between executive conversations and detailed analysis, challenge assumptions constructively, and focus on building lasting capabilities rather than one-off fixes. Others will look to you to set direction on complex problems, raise the standard for analytical rigor, and help the team learn new domains quickly.
