• Deliver programs within the constraints of scope, quality, time, and budget under circumstances involving multiple moderate-probability, moderate-impact risk factors.
• Lead program-level strategic planning, interact with executive-level management, drive complex issue resolution, and demonstrate excellent communication and team-building skills.
• Manage groups of internal exempt and matrixed employees and contractors that serve on projects to deliver systems and system enhancements meeting specified requirements.
• Provide oversight of project scope definition and management, requirements gathering and documentation, time estimating, project schedule development and tracking, project budget management, project status reporting, issue and risk management, contingency planning, customer interaction, and communications across multiple organizational levels.
• Track and maintain progress reports across projects, ensuring timely and consistent follow-ups with stakeholders to drive execution and accountability.
• Proactively escalate unresolved issues to the appropriate teams or leadership when delays or blockers arise, ensuring timely resolution and project momentum.
• Develop and manage detailed launch plans, track existing bugs and feedback items, and partner with cross-functional teams to drive them through to closure.

1. Prior Meta experience (e.g., previous contingent worker).
2. Experience in monetization, advertising, or sales enablement programs.
3. Additional years of experience, 10+ ideally.

 
Years of Overall Experience Required:

• Since this is a level III, we can target those with a min of 7+ years due to budget constraints but CWAM would prefer peeps a bit more senior.

 
Degrees/Certifications Required:

• Bachelors in technical field.

 
Minimum Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in a mix of software/technical background and technical program management.
• Bachelor's degree in a technical field such as computer science, computer engineering, or related field.
• Proven experience managing complex programs with multiple partners and stakeholders.
• Strong ability to understand and review code (Python, JavaScript); software engineering background preferred for understanding architecture and design aspects.
• Experience delivering technology and business application solutions in a large-scale, multi-platform systems environment.

• Demonstrated ability to be flexible and adaptable in exercising judgment in a changing environment and to manage competing priorities.
• Proven ability to learn business processes quickly and to work well with business partners at different levels within the organization.
• Strong ability to assess risk and apply management principles to technology applications/products and business functions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior Meta experience (e.g., previous contingent worker at Meta).
• Familiarity with AI tools such as Claude and the ability to leverage them effectively.
• Additional years of experience, 10+ ideally.

 
Surrounding Team & Key Projects:

• The SXP Product team focuses on monetization, working directly with salespeople who connect with advertising partners across in-market, mid-market, and small business segments.
• The program centers on AI capabilities built in-house to help salespeople make more effective pitches—including automated QBR content generation, meeting notes, and action items. The goal is to increase salesperson productivity and help advertisers maximize revenue.
• This is primarily internal tooling (not external-facing). The team needs someone who can ramp quickly and independently drive program execution—not coding on the AI side, but leveraging AI capabilities to run and automate programs.

 
Typical Day-to-Day in the Role:

• Coordinate program management activities, including follow-ups and status updates.
• Own and drive program roadmaps across multiple verticals (VC calling, follow-up emails, automation on pitching).
• Ramp up on the space and then independently manage parts of the program with minimal support or guidance.
• Identify key areas of focus and help scale them up.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to drive execution and accountability.
• Leverage AI tools to automate and streamline program operations.

 
How Will Performance Be Measured?

• Achievement of program metrics; all programs are metric-driven.
• Progress of the team against defined metrics and milestones.
• Quality of program execution and delivery.
• Ability to pull in the right people or escalate appropriately when programs are at risk or going red.
• Feedback from cross-functional partners and stakeholders.

 
What Makes This Role Interesting?

• This is a high-impact role at the forefront of Client's AI-driven monetization initiatives.
• The TPM will be the driving force behind scaling programs that leverage cutting-edge internal AI tools—not writing code, but owning execution across multiple verticals (VC calling, email automation, pitch optimization).
• The role offers significant autonomy and independence, with a strong likelihood of extension due to continuous investment in this space.
• The work directly contributes to measurable business outcomes: helping advertisers maximize revenue while enabling client's sales teams to operate more effectively.

 
Interview Process:
How many rounds of interviews?

• 1-2 rounds.

• Gauging their ability to understand the business aspect of the areas of a given problem. How they can come up with high level understanding and the execution aspect.
