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.

The Market Analysis team is Apple Retail Real Estate’s strategic and quantitative intelligence function — we build the frameworks, tools, and analyses that inform where Apple invests in its 500+ store fleet globally. We combine rigorous measurement with strategic insight to shape how leadership thinks about market opportunity, fleet composition, and capital allocation. We’re actively transforming into an AI-native analytics team — replacing static, report-driven workflows with automated pipelines, AI-assisted analysis, and scalable tooling. This role will be a key part of that shift: building and adopting new tools to modernize ways of working.
