Role summary
Meta is seeking a Senior Strategy & Operations Manager for its Supply Planning and Capacity Ecosystems (SPACE) organization. This principal-level role will partner with senior leadership to drive operational excellence, lead strategic projects, and shape Meta's global infrastructure capacity planning. The position requires deep infrastructure or technology fluency, executive-level influence, and a track record of both strategy development and execution. Responsibilities include strategic thought partnership, developing enterprise-level capacity frameworks, influencing resource allocation, owning complex initiatives, leading cross-functional programs, and managing the rhythm of business. The role demands exceptional analytical, problem-structuring, and executive communication skills, with a minimum of 12 years of relevant experience.
Responsibilities
- Serve as a primary strategic thought partner to the Director of Capacity Ecosystems and infra leadership on capacity strategy, organizational direction, and critical trade-offs
- Develop original frameworks that shape how Meta thinks about capacity at an enterprise level — connecting compute, storage, network, AI/ML accelerators, data center footprint, and supply chain into a cohesive decision-making model
- Represent Capacity Ecosystems' point of view in leadership forums, influencing infrastructure-wide and company-wide resource allocation and investment decisions
- Own and drive 2–3 of the team's highest-complexity initiatives end-to-end — from problem framing and stakeholder alignment through cross-functional coordination and delivery of measurable outcomes
- Lead programs across industry partnerships, financial operations, and people operations — translating strategic decisions into concrete workstreams with clear milestones, ownership, and accountability
- Step in as the direct executor on ambiguous, high-stakes problems without a clear owner — building from zero to one and handing off with a functioning operating model. Engage with external partners and support deals as needed
- Maintain rigorous follow-through: track progress, surface risks, drive resolution on blockers, and ensure initiatives land (not just launch)
- Own the rhythm of business — designing and running the cadences, decision rights, information flows, and governance structures that enable effective strategy execution across a complex, matrixed organization
- Run high-priority meetings end-to-end; streamline processes and build the goal-setting architecture (OKRs, KPIs) and business review frameworks the broader team runs on
- Identify systemic challenges — misaligned incentives, structural gaps, unclear ownership — and implement solutions that improve how capacity decisions get made across Infrastructure
- Develop content for Meta's senior leaders — executive briefings, board-level materials, and strategic communications that convey capacity strategy, risks, and investment rationale to the most senior audiences
Minimum Qualifications
- 12+ years of experience in strategy, operations, or management consulting within technology/infrastructure organizations, with demonstrated progression in scope and impact
- Track record of both shaping strategy at an organizational level AND personally driving complex initiatives to delivery — not just advising, but owning outcomes
- Experience as a trusted strategic advisor to VP-level or equivalent executives, with demonstrated ability to influence without authority across senior leadership
- Exceptional analytical and problem-structuring skills — ability to create clarity from ambiguous, high-stakes problems through structured frameworks and quantitative rigor
- Executive-level communication skills: ability to distill complex infrastructure and business dynamics into crisp narratives for SVP/VP audiences
- Experience leading large-scale, cross-functional initiatives in complex, matrixed organizations from concept through measurable delivery
- Bachelor's degree in economics, business, or a quantitative discipline (or equivalent practical experience)
Preferred Qualifications
- MBA or advanced degree
- Background in top-tier management consulting or senior internal strategy roles at large technology companies — with a bias toward "do" over "recommend."
- Familiarity with infrastructure capacity planning, cloud economics, data center strategy, hardware roadmaps, or supply chain operations at hyperscale
- Experience navigating multi-billion-dollar capital allocation environments
- Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
- Demonstrated ability to drive operating model changes that improved decision-making quality and speed
- Experience with deal structures and financial concepts
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
