Project & Program Management, Operations Management
Summary
Our data centers are the foundation upon which our rapidly scaling infrastructure efficiently operates to deliver our innovative services. Meta's Infrastructure team is seeking an experienced Principal Program Manager to serve as the operational backbone of our Energy Infrastructure Investments pillar. This individual will be responsible for driving the end-to-end program execution, governance, external partnership management, and cross-functional coordination needed to deliver billions of dollars in energy infrastructure investments — on time, on budget, and at unprecedented scale.
This is a senior program leadership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution. This role will partner closely with the Managing Director, Energy Infrastructure to translate investment decisions and partnership strategies into disciplined, delivered outcomes. The principal program manager is the execution engine behind Meta's energy infrastructure investments — standing up the governance, tracking, risk management, and cross-functional coordination that turns signed deals into delivered capacity, while helping manage the ongoing relationships with independent power producers, utilities, and energy ecosystem partners that make delivery possible.
Program Manager Responsibilities
Own the end-to-end program management of Meta's energy infrastructure investment portfolio
Develop and maintain integrated program plans, master schedules, and milestone trackers that provide clear line-of-sight across all active projects and investments
Drive predictable delivery by establishing rigorous stage-gate processes, decision frameworks, and escalation paths for the investment portfolio
Monitor and report on program health — cost, schedule, risk, and interdependencies — providing objective insights and early-warning signals to leadership
Identify and resolve cross-project dependencies, resource conflicts, and execution bottlenecks before they impact delivery timelines
Design and operate the governance framework for the Energy Infrastructure Investments pillar — including cadence of reviews, decision rights, reporting structures, and accountability mechanisms
Establish and run operating rhythms (weekly, monthly, quarterly) that keep the team and cross-functional partners aligned on priorities, progress, and risk
Create and maintain program dashboards, executive reporting packages, and board-ready materials that distill complex portfolio status into clear narratives
Own the risk register and mitigation tracker across the portfolio — ensuring risks are identified early, quantified, and actively managed
Serve as the connective tissue between Energy Infrastructure Investments and partner organizations — including Design, Engineering & Construction (DEC), Corporate Development, Site Selection, Legal, Finance and Accounting, Capacity Planning, Sustainability, and external development partners
Coordinate with DEC Planning & Development teams to ensure investment timelines align with capacity supply forecasts and site readiness milestones
Partner with Finance and Accounting to track capital deployment against budget, manage forecasting cadences, support variance analysis, and ensure alignment on investment accounting treatment and reporting requirements
Work with Legal to ensure contract execution, regulatory compliance milestones, and partner deliverables are tracked and met — coordinating closing checklists, condition precedent tracking, and ongoing covenant compliance
Coordinate with Corporate Development on transaction execution — aligning program timelines with deal closing schedules, integration planning, and post-close governance stand-up
Partner with Site Selection teams to ensure energy infrastructure investment strategies are integrated into site diligence, land acquisition timelines, and regional development sequencing
Integrate with capacity planning teams to ensure energy supply commitments are reflected in long-range infrastructure plans
Build scalable program management infrastructure — tools, templates, processes, and playbooks — that enables the pillar to grow without proportional overhead
