Technical Program Manager, Youth Regulation

Meta Meta · Big Tech · Bellevue, WA

This role is for a Technical Program Manager focused on Youth Regulation at Meta. While the role involves leveraging AI tools and adhering to ethical AI practices to optimize program management processes, the core function is program management and execution, not direct AI/ML model development or research. The role focuses on translating technical strategy into execution plans, managing risks, and driving alignment across engineering and cross-functional teams, with a specific emphasis on regulatory compliance within the youth domain. The use of AI is to enhance program management efficiency and quality.

  2. Establish scalable and repeatable program structures for highly complex, cross-organizational programs, including defining success metrics, managing dependencies, and driving long-term efficiency improvements
  3. Identify and proactively resolve systemic technical risks and opportunities across the program portfolio, anticipating issues before they impact delivery and instituting structural changes to prevent recurrence
  4. Translate ambiguous technical challenges into clearly scoped program plans with measurable milestones, surfacing critical trade-offs and aligning stakeholders on prioritization
  5. Drive cross-organizational alignment by building relationships with directors and resolving commitment gaps and conflicting priorities across teams and functions
