• Own infrastructure capacity planning for all of Meta, including software products/services and scaling server and data center resources efficiently.
• Build, own, and execute cohesive end-to-end Integrated Planning processes and methodologies across Strategic, Tactical/Operations, and Execution horizons.
• Align requirements and expectations across all technical and business functions.
• Design and build company-wide transformational Planning programs, strategies, and methodologies to scale Meta’s infrastructure efficiently.
• Partner with Finance and business teams to balance cost efficiency with technical and product considerations.
• Manage unplanned emergent capacity requirements across all horizons in a constrained environment.
• Develop decision scenarios and trade-offs to drive multi-billion dollar infrastructure decisions at the highest levels of the organization.
• Own the communications strategy for planning processes and decisions, including executive-level communications and status updates.
• Use technical judgment and experience to contribute to tools and technology strategy for Planning.
• Work cross-functionally to define problem statements, collect data, and make recommendations to drive change and optimization at the company level.

Requirements

• 16+ years of experience working in Infrastructure/Cloud/Hardware with a background in Strategy, Capacity Planning, Supply Chain Optimization, or technology strategy consulting.
• Experience leading enterprise-level Planning processes with frequent executive interaction.
• Experience distilling complex data and high ambiguity into actionable insights and recommendations for executive communication and decision-making.
• Business acumen with experience forming and refining hypotheses into actionable analysis and recommendations.
• Problem-solving and strategy skills, including expansive opportunity identification and framing of complex/ambiguous problems.
• Experience completing multiple cloud, infrastructure, or hardware optimization projects.

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements).
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies.
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews).
