About the company
In Places, we don’t sit back and let things happen, we make things happen, and we do this in service to all Apple employees and customers. Our team is a diverse and nimble group that manages Apple’s retail stores, workplaces, and workplace services. We develop and manage Apple’s global real estate portfolio, lead all related capital construction projects, provide outstanding facilities and site services, develop and lead sustainability initiatives to reduce the environmental impact of all Apple facilities, including commute and renewable energy programs, and do everything we can to ensure the health and safety of all Apple personnel, facilities, and customers in our facilities around the world.
About the role
Within Places, our PMO brings discipline, foresight, and accountability to how we plan, fund, and deliver capital and operational programs across our global portfolio. The Financial Planning & Performance team owns the money side of that work: planning budgets, tracking spend, and running the analysis behind every investment decision, so funding is driven by data and need, not the order requests come in.
We are seeking an experienced, collaborative, and nimble Capex & Opex Planning leader to join our team as a Financial Planning & Performance Lead, to build and run the financial planning function for Places PMO and bring one connected view of capital and operating investment to the table.
Description
As a Financial Planning & Performance Lead, you will own the full financial picture for Places PMO, from multi-year capital investment to day-to-day operational spend, and build the governance that keeps every dollar accountable from plan through actuals. You will digest and analyze roadmaps from Construction, Facilities, EHS&S, Real Estate, Space Planning, and Finance, cross-referencing every request against lease, space, and sustainability data to build one unified portfolio view. You will work closely with the PMO Director, Finance, and business unit leaders to align capital decisions with business priorities, and lead and grow a team of financial planners who deliver exceptional, client-ready work for the business.
Responsibilities
•
Own the end-to-end financial picture for Places PMO: multi-year capital planning, annual operating budgets, and the connection between them.
•
• Digest and analyze roadmaps from Construction, Facilities, EHS&S, Real Estate, Space Planning, and Finance to build one consolidated, cross-referenced view of planned investment.
•
• Lead CapEx and OpEx planning and forecasting, including investment modeling, budget submissions, variance management, and latest-estimate cycles across all regions.
•
Build and run post-planning governance, including actuals-vs-plan reporting, contingency reallocation, and ROI tracking on capital decisions.
•
Run correlation and trend analysis linking capital and operating spend at the site, campus, and country level, with year-over-year visibility by region and function.
•
Drive data-driven prioritization of capital requests, informed by industry benchmarking, with activation timed to cashflow rather than order of request.
•
Build multi-option, total-cost-of-ownership analysis for major capital decisions, laying out trade-offs such as defer, replace, or refurbish, with cashflow models tailored to project type.
•
Partner with Facilities on asset condition data to move the portfolio toward a five-year rolling capital plan, so capital allocation is driven by condition, not just BU requests.
•
Prepare and present business cases, scenario analysis, and funding recommendations to the PMO Director and senior leadership.
•
Collaborate with Finance and business unit leaders to align capital governance and keep budget decisions grounded in business priorities.
•
Hire, develop, and manage a team of financial planners and analysts, building a bench that can take on more scope over time.
•
Foster and maintain strong working relationships with Construction, Facilities, Real Estate, and other cross-functional partners across the global portfolio.
