Business Planning, Expansion and Experience Strategist

Imagine what you could do here! The people here at Apple don’t just create products — they build the kind of wonder that’s revolutionized entire industries. It’s the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. At Apple, inclusion is a shared responsibility, and we work together to foster a culture where everyone belongs and is inspired to do their best work.

Here on the Apple Store Online team, we are responsible for Apple’s largest store. Our main goal is to deliver a magical, personal digital experience where customers can shop, buy and learn everything Apple, wherever they are. Each customer should feel like they are our only customer and our job is to set the bar for the experience they receive. To run such an extraordinary store, it takes extraordinary people, and we are looking for someone to help us do extraordinary things.

We are seeking a dynamic, analytically-driven strategist to join our Digital Growth Initiatives team. In this role, you will drive operational excellence across our Digital Experience organization, contribute to Apple's new market expansion strategy, and develop digital commerce briefs that shape experiences for millions of customers. You are a confident communicator and structured thinker who thrives at the intersection of business planning, cross-functional collaboration, and data-driven storytelling.

## Description

The ideal candidate is a business-minded strategist with a strong analytical foundation and a natural instinct for clear, compelling communication. You bring structure to complex, ambiguous problems and translate data and insights into recommendations that drive alignment and action.

You operate effectively under limited supervision, managing competing priorities with precision and care. You are highly organized and methodical — comfortable sweating the details while keeping the bigger picture in view.

You are confident presenting to and partnering with senior leaders, and you know how to tailor a message for the room. You build strong cross-functional relationships with intention, earning trust through transparency, follow-through, and a collaborative approach. You have a bias toward action and a track record of turning strategic direction into structured, executable plans.
