Technical Program Manager, Network Infra Sustainability

Meta is committed to attaining Net Zero emissions across our value chain in 2030. To support this, Meta is seeking a Technical Program Manager (TPM) experienced in network infrastructure and sustainability, defining and implementing Net Zero emissions programs, focused on value chain emissions (Scope 3). This position will set goals, create strategies, and execute plans to reduce network infrastructure value chain emissions, in partnership with Meta’s Net Zero and Sustainability, Sourcing, Hardware Engineering, Fleet Sustaining, Datacenter Operations, Finance, and Capacity Planning teams. This position will provide program management support for cross-functional teams on topics including greenhouse gas emissions accounting, reporting, and forecasting, as well as emissions reduction initiatives such as design optimization, circularity, and re-use programs. Success will drive major contributions in reducing total emissions, by targeting and avoiding, reducing, or eliminating major sources.This role requires expertise in network infrastructure, complemented by domain expertise in sustainability and emissions. Broadly, this role is responsible for designing and embedding Scope 3 Net Zero practices in Meta’s network infrastructure organization (data center networking, backbone engineering, edge, and fiber). This includes institutionalizing processes for emissions data capture and reporting in Meta’s network infrastructure, design optimization for reduced emissions, developing and driving education programs with cross-functional teams, and developing business cases to drive further reductions.This role will reside within the Network Infrastructure organization and partner with Net Zero and Sustainability, Capacity Planning, Data Center Infrastructure, Hardware Engineering, Finance, and Infrastructure sourcing teams. This role will partner and drive Meta’s Network Infrastructure organization and its partners to achieve Meta’s goals efficiently, with the lowest possible added effort and overhead.

Technical Program Manager, Network Infra Sustainability Responsibilities:
