Program Manager,Public Affairs — AI Campaign Job Madison area,Wisconsin USA,Marketing / Advertising / PR

Summary:

Meta's Public Affairs AI Campaign is one of the company's most strategic and visible initiatives — and it's scaling fast. The campaign is already in motion with a strong team driving execution across multiple work streams. What we need now is a experienced program manager who can match that pace: someone who can plug into an operation that's moving quickly and make it run tighter, faster, and smarter as we expand across markets and functions.

As a Program Manager on the AI Campaign, you'll embed within the campaign's existing program management team, bringing operational rigor to a complex, cross-functional effort that spans communications, marketing, policy, research, legal, and product. Your job is to make a high-performing team even better — building the systems, driving the rhythms, and holding the connective tissue that lets campaign leaders and functional experts do their best work.

This is a role for someone who gets genuine satisfaction from making a team hum — who is energized by bringing order to complexity, can prioritize across strategic goals and operational details based on impact and urgency, and defaults to collaboration over hierarchy. You don't need to own the strategy — you need to own the execution infrastructure that makes strategy real.

You thrive when you're the reason a complex operation stays organized, on-track, and one step ahead. You're the person who sees around corners, builds structure before chaos arrives, and takes pride in being the force multiplier that elevates everyone around you.

To succeed here, you need an entrepreneurial spirit, demonstrated organizational skills, and a natural drive to bring people together in ways that maximize collective impact.
