About This Role
Imagine what you could do here. At Apple, new ideas have a way of quickly
becoming great products, services, and customer experiences. Every new product

shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the
world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their
thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When
we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do
more than join something — you’ll add something. We are seeking an analytical

Planning Strategy and Initiatives team. This team is responsible for providing
centralized insight into data center physical infrastructure demand/supply,

and will assist in managing Apple leased data centers around the globe. This
role will help do critical data analysis and create metrics and benchmarks to
bring capacity planning into the future.
