Description

As the International Business - Process and Analytics Lead, you are Apple's business intelligence and automation partner for International Markets. Working closely with Country teams, regional sales, and global counterparts, you'll help shape and evolve core sales operations - including forecasting, pipeline management, territory design, and quota allocation - partnering to automate and scale these processes in ways that drive greater efficiency and consistency across all markets.

You'll work alongside teams to optimise critical data systems, including Dun & Bradstreet, CRM platforms, and BI tools, ensuring sales teams everywhere have access to accurate, timely, and actionable insights. Together with partners across Data Science, Engineering, and Business Analytics, you'll co‑design AI workflows and intelligent automation that transforms sales planning, performance analytics, and forecasting at scale.

You'll stay hands‑on when exploring new ideas, prototyping agentic flows, or working through complex challenges alongside cross‑functional teams. You'll also work closely with Country and regional partners to remove structural barriers, bridge maturity gaps to WW best practices, and ensure regional voices are heard in global roadmap conversations.

The ideal candidate combines deep data expertise with strong business acumen - someone who is passionate about AI and automation, thrives in a team environment, and brings the technical fluency to work effectively with cross‑functional partners while keeping shared business outcomes at the heart of everything.

• Apple and third‑party solutions solve complex business problems in simple and innovative ways. You create competitive and breakthrough strategies that truly shape the future. You do this by asking why and why not, both stripping out what is not essential and identifying what is. By doing so, you are able to see what’s ahead and identify trends that will be critical for growth.
• You think clearly. You simplify complex problems and distill big decisions down to their core. It’s rarely easy. Sometimes decisions require you to make tough calls, even after considerable time and energy has been invested -but you own it. You stand by your deep analysis, wisdom and experience to make quality and timely decisions.
• Apple doesn’t cut corners, in products or in business. You bring the highest level of integrity, honesty, and accountability in all that you do, every
