Director, Technical Program Management (Ranking AI)

Ranking AI is the central core machine learning org within Meta’s Monetization group, powering Meta’s revenue and business growth by advancing and deploying state-of-art Recommendation Systems AI for our Ads stack. We are currently redesigning the large and fragmented Ads model space by developing new modeling architectures, advancing the scale limit through model-hardware co-design, and developing techniques that better leverage anonymized, aggregated data. While there is significant focus on innovation, we pride ourselves in being able to translate research to production with high velocity, delivering on half on half aggressive revenue targets in a predictable fashion. The ideal candidate will bring hands-on experience in driving product and program growth through machine learning (ML) technologies, with a proven track record of leading AI-powered projects that span across modeling teams and require close collaboration with infrastructure teams. They will have a strong background in building and growing teams and have a comprehensive understanding of the full machine learning lifecycle—from raw data to features and modeling to training, inference, and debugging. Adept in navigating ambiguity and competing priorities, the candidate will thrive in an entrepreneurial, fast-paced environment. They will have a keen ability to sift through complex information, distill key insights, and up-level critical data to drive informed decision-making at all levels. They are not only skilled at leading teams and developing high-level strategic initiatives but are also hands-on, capable of rolling up their sleeves and executing the details to ensure successful program delivery.
