Our team in Information Systems & Technology (IS&T) builds and runs the planning capabilities behind how Apple invests in technology, including portfolio management, financial planning, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), workforce capacity, and procurement. Leaders rely on our products and data to follow ideas from proposal to funded project, understand what technology costs, and align people and dollars with priorities. As a Business Planning Functional Analyst, you'll turn complex business problems into products, processes, and data models that scale. You'll work in sprint-based product cycles with teammates across the U.S. and India.

We're looking for a business-minded problem solver with strong analytical skills, financial acumen, and product instincts. This is not a reporting or project administration role. You'll own outcomes for product areas within our business planning suite, from understanding the underlying problem to shipping a solution people adopt. You work directly with data instead of waiting on others, you understand how finance, procurement, workforce, and technology connect, and you think through downstream impact before making a change. You don't need deep experience in every discipline we cover, but you bring a strong foundation in a few and learn the rest quickly.
