Program Manager, Operations, RL & AI Partnerships

The Reality Labs & AI Partnerships organization focuses on building and managing partnerships that are crucial to the success of Meta's company priorities. As the Reality Labs and AI Partnerships team scales into a multifaceted, global organization spanning multiple ecosystems including XR, AI, Strategic Technology Partners, OEM, Developer Relations and AI GTM, we need a Program Manager who can directly support leadership to tighten the rhythm of the business, generate data‑driven insight, dive into products or processes to fix what’s broken, and surface clear signal over noise. This Program Manager would sit inside the Strategy & Operations team, partnering directly with and supporting leadership (VPs) to install—and continuously improve—the operating system that keeps us aligned and moving. This role should drive clarity and momentum: bridging strategy, execution, deal work, and communications without acting as a gatekeeper.

Set workstreams, drive progress, escalate blockers early, and close communication loops Rapid Problem Solving and Escalation Management - Dive into products, processes, or partner engagements when things stall. Stand up ad‑hoc tiger teams, fix blockers directly, and restore momentum Visibility & Signal - Maintain a living dashboard of Vice President level priorities, decisions, risks, metrics, and escalations
