You will be the face of Meta for the entertainment industry and the owner of the vertical's strategy.

You will also collect signal from the industry to shape product roadmaps. The four products this team carries sit at very different stages of industry acceptance, so this role is as much about driving adoption in emerging product categories as activating a willing one.

• Bring vertical and partner insights to Product teams and help shape the roadmap and strategy
• Co-lead joint initiatives and strategic product launches with the product team
• Set clear team direction and priorities, and define how success is measured for the vertical
• Oversee the execution by resourcing, sequencing, tracking progress, and removing roadblocks
• Coach and mentor partner managers, with regular feedback and recognition. Allocate coverage based on skill set, potential, and business need
