About the Role
Meta is building a field-forward Local Partnerships team to deepen Meta's relationships and positive impact in the communities that host our infrastructure. This 0-to-1 team will focus on cultivating meaningful, mutually beneficial partnerships with universities, sports teams, creators, local media, and civic and cultural organizations. We're looking for a Program Manager to lead program design and cross-functional coordination: designing partnership programs that work across all of these partner types, and driving the cross-functional alignment needed to bring them to life. In this role, you will turn strategy into executable programs, coordinate across many teams, and define processes in a newly forming function.
Responsibilities
- Design and manage partnership programs that span multiple partner types (universities, sports, creators, local media, and culture) rather than a single vertical.
- Adapt national programs and initiatives into scalable local activations.
- Serve as the connective tissue between the team's Local Partnerships Leads and Meta's central partner teams, translating partner capabilities and assets into programs that can be executed locally.
- Drive internal alignment across Partnerships, Public Policy, Communications, Marketing, and Economic Development to design, approve, and launch programs.
- Build and maintain the team's operating model, playbooks, and program plans.
- Own strategy and measurements, defining goals, tracking program impact, and reporting to leadership.
- Manage program budgets, timelines, and cross-functional execution end to end.
- Provide central support, data, and coordination to the field team so that Community Leads can stay focused externally.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in partnerships, business development, program management, marketing, or a related field.
- Experience designing and running cross-functional programs from concept through execution.
- Experience working across multiple types of partnerships or verticals, rather than a single category.
- Demonstrated experience in driving alignment among cross-functional stakeholders and leaders.
- Excellent program management, organizational, and communication skills, with the experience to prioritize competing work streams based on impact, deadlines, and stakeholder needs.
- Experience operating with ambiguity and building new programs or functions.
