Job Title: AI-Native Technical Program Manager
Location: Menlo Park CA - Onsite preferred but can be flexible for the right candidate. Must be in PST or EST timezone though
Duration: 12 Months
Org: Strategy, Operations, and Analytics / Family of Apps Decision Science
Role: Project Specialist: Technical Program Manager — Family of Apps Data Science (FOA DS)
 
About the role

• Client’s Marketing Strategy, Analytics, and Operations (SAO) organization is seeking an experienced, AI-native Technical Program Manager to join our Marketing Decision Science organization, supporting our Family of Apps (FOA) Data Science teams.
• As a TPM you will play a crucial role in building and supporting high-performing Decision Science teams and their leadership while creating a bridge to their business partners to drive business impact through AI solutions and efficiencies. These teams operate with a high degree of technical expertise, a rigorous business focus, and an agile delivery mindset.
• You will be embedded with FOA DS partners across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads, and Messenger, running the operations for our DS teams totranslate marketing data into measurable insights and impact.
• This is an AI-native role. We expect you to use AI tools as a core part of how you operate — from synthesizing meeting notes to feed into status updates, to automating recurring workflows, to evaluating new AI capabilities for the team and ensuring we are focusing on the most impactful solutions, whether new or existing. The strongest candidates will already have a working practice of integrating tools like Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, and other agentic tools. To you, AI is not a new tool in your toolbox you check the box on. You have set aside old notions of how work is delivered and AI is simply part of how you function.

 
Top 3 must-have HARD skills:    

• Experience working in AI-native orgs / on AI projects
• Strong XFN collaboration and Leadership communication
• Ability to synthesize open conversations into plans, frameworks and action items

 
Good to have skills:

• Embracing ambiguity
• Technical experience (building using AI or Analytics familiarity)

 
Years of experience needed: At least 5
 
Story Behind the Need – Business Group & Key Projects:

• FoA MDS is a Data Science org supporting multimillion dollar/year marketing investments for all client consumer + creator Brands
• It's highly x-functional and rapidly transforming to become AI-native
• We're looking for a TPM who can accelerate that transformation and truly identify opportunities where DS can drive larger business impact through AI

 
Typical Day in the Role:

• Supporting org director distill down most important action items for the team
• Creating exec facing documents
• Working with FoA managers to x-share the AI innovations and de-duplicate / consolidate builds where necessary
• Build your own AI tools for efficiency / productivity for self / teams / org

 
Key responsibilities:

• Defining and maintaining strong collaborative operating rhythms across FOA DS teams and their XFN partners
• Guiding roadmap planning, including quarterly revisions and re-prioritization
• Implement and execute regular working rhythms to ensure a dependable delivery rhythm of high-quality work in alignment with the top priorities of the business
• Helping break down work into actionable tasks and ensuring sufficiently scoped work is ready for engineers and data scientists
• Unblocking work and resolving team impediments
• Tracking project progress, deliverables, and milestones
• Coordinating and managing dependencies across DS, DE, Marketing, Product, and XFN teams
• Organizing and maintaining project information and documentation across the team and in our AI-enabled knowledge repositories
• Providing regular stakeholder updates on timelines, status, and risks

 
AI-native expectations:

• Beyond traditional TPM execution, you have demonstrated outcomes leveraging AI to:
• Operate AI-first: Use AI agents to draft status reports, synthesize stakeholder updates, summarize meetings, and generate first-pass artifacts (decks, briefs, retros) so the team can review and refine instead of starting from blank pages, while balancing the need for human review
• Automate operating cadences: Build and maintain lightweight AI-driven workflows for recurring rituals — weekly status rollups, executive updates, debriefs, and contribution digests
• Evaluate and onboard AI tooling: Pilot new AI capabilities (internal Meta AI agents, tools, skills, and integrations) and help ensure rigor when evaluating building new solutions vs. adopting existing ones
• Codify team knowledge: Help maintain a structured "team brain" — context, soul, and agent definitions — that lets AI tools act on the team's behalf for routine coordination work
• Raise the bar on documentation quality: Treat documentation as machine-readable context, not just human-readable narrative, so AI agents can reliably reason over it

 
Additional scope:

• You will be a bridge with our horizontal Marketing Technology (MarTech) and capability teams, connecting powerful technology to scale the impact of our FOA DS and campaign teams. This includes coordinating launches and integrations, training,and developing documentation and new processes that reduce workload and increase clarity for the teams you support. You will also assist with metrics, operations, and governance as it relates to the FOA DS and DE teams, and collaborate closely with Marketing Data Operations TPMs to create new processes and communication protocols for prioritized projects.

 
Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field
• At least 5 years of experience in technical program management, project management, or related fields — ideally supporting data science, data engineering, or analytics teams
• Strong technical acumen and understanding of data, software development, and analytics workflows
• Excellent communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
• Proven track record of successfully managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects from start to finish
• Experience working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, managing multiple priorities and stakeholders
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to think creatively to solve complex challenges
• Self-starter with a bias towards action and a passion for driving results

 
AI-native requirements:

• Demonstrated working practice with AI tools in a PM/TPM context — e.g. using Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, or equivalent agents to draft, summarize, automate, or accelerate program management work with quantifiable business outcomes
• Comfort writing prompts, building lightweight automations, and reasoning about where AI augments vs. where it shouldn't be in the loop
• Curiosity about agentic workflows, and comfort staying ahead of the curve on an incredibly quickly evolving space
