Principal Portfolio Manager, Infrastructure Development

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 Portfolio Manager to serve as the operational backbone of our Energy Infrastructure Investments pillar. This individual will be responsible for moving opportunities from early development and commercial structuring through investment approval, closing, and delivery readiness, and for building the 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 hands‑on, senior individual contributor role for someone who combines commercial and financial judgment in energy development with the discipline to personally build and run the operating mechanisms that move a complex pipeline. The team has whitespace: you will create first‑version processes, governance, and tools rather than inheriting a mature program. The principal portfolio manager is the execution engine behind Meta's energy infrastructure investments — standing up the governance, tracking, risk management, and cross‑functional coordination that shapes opportunities into approved, signed deals and 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.

We welcome candidates whose experience combines energy development, utility, hyperscaler, project finance, infrastructure investing, commercial origination, and program leadership roles in different ways; there is no single required career path.

• Own the end-to-end program management, from early-stage development through approval, closing, and delivery, of Meta's energy infrastructure investment portfolio
• Develop and maintain integrated program plans, master schedules, and milestone trackers that provide a clear line-of-sight across all active projects and investments
• Drive the front end of the pipeline: support origination, diligence, siting, and permitting strategy, interconnection strategy, and commercial structuring so that opportunities reach investment approval readiness to execute
• Support investment memos, diligence, and the structuring and execution of energy commitments, such as power purchase agreements, capacity agreements, energy service agreements, tolling or fuel‑supply arrangements, interconnection agreements, and utility agreements, working with partners on capital, credit, and commercial terms
• 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 risks
• 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…
