Leadership Development Designer & Business Partner

Apply now People Development accelerates the performance of every Metamate, team, and leader - building the capabilities, culture, and human-AI partnerships that power Meta's future.

We help people thrive through continuous change, grow more valuable over time, and choose to stay. We do this through coaching, team development, leadership experiences, performance systems, and skills at scale - all working as an integrated system, not a set of disconnected programs.

This role sits on the Leadership Development team at the intersection of leadership development design and business partnership. The role's center of gravity is design: creating bespoke development solutions for priority leaders and teams while also building scalable programs, journeys, tools, and playbooks for managers and directors across Meta.

The mix of design and direct business partnership will evolve over time based on company priorities and the highest-value leadership challenges.

This is not a traditional learning designer role or a purely advisory business partner role. It requires a practitioner who can move from diagnosis to design to delivery - translating complex business and organizational needs into distinctive, evidence-based development solutions that change how leaders lead.

Reporting to the Director, Leadership Development, this individual contributor will work as part of a small, lean consultative team focused on Meta's most strategic leader and team development priorities. The role will operate with significant autonomy, influence direction across organizational boundaries, and turn emerging needs into solutions with enterprise-level impact.

Design programs, learning journeys, tools, playbooks, and resources that build critical capabilities across Meta's manager and director populations. Translate insights from individual engagements into repeatable solutions without losing the relevance, quality, and judgment that make the work effective
* Own the end-to-end design lifecycle. Move from discovery and problem framing through concept development, prototyping, piloting, facilitation, measurement, and iteration. Partner with subject-matter experts, learning designers, program managers, and operations partners to turn strong concepts into solutions that can be delivered effectively at scale
* Shape strategy and direction across the leadership-development system. Identify emerging capability needs, define opportunities that do not yet have a clear playbook, and influence priorities beyond an individual program or client engagement. Lead through expertise and influence across teams, functions, and business groups
* Facilitate and coach with credibility. Deliver high-stakes leadership and team experiences and provide 1:1 executive coaching using ICF-credentialed methodology. Build leaders' capacity rather than simply giving advice, and help leaders understand how development can…
