Job description

Our data centers are the foundation upon which our rapidly scaling infrastructure efficiently delivers our innovative services. Meta's Energy Team is seeking a commercially‑experienced and technically‑grounded energy professional to lead our demand flexibility and emerging grid strategy program across our global data center portfolio. This role will serve as Meta's internal commercial and regulatory expert on issues of demand response, bring‑your‑own‑capacity (BYOC) arrangements, and flexible interconnection, coordinating across energy, engineering, core systems, and policy teams to build a proactive, portfolio‑wide approach to emerging grid trends. The Energy Manager will own the development and execution of Meta's demand flexibility strategy: identifying opportunities, structuring commercial arrangements, and ensuring that flexibility is embedded in our energy service agreements and site designs from the outset rather than retrofitted after the fact. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in energy markets, utility negotiations, grid operations, with deep familiarity with demand response frameworks across both regulated and organized electricity markets. Experience with RTO capacity markets, flexible interconnection tariffs, and demand‑side resource programs is strongly preferred.

Energy Manager - Power Supply Responsibilities

• Serve as Meta's subject matter expert on demand flexibility and flexible interconnection across all markets where Meta operates or is evaluating new capacity, including engaging in cross‑functional efforts to assess demand flexibility opportunities at new and existing sites, drive commercial negotiations with utilities and grid operators, and ensure that agreed arrangements are fully operationalized.
• Partner with Policy team to engage in regulatory processes, monitoring and assessing the evolving regulatory landscape related to demand flexibility.
• Actively manage commercial relationships for data centers located in a variety of energy markets, including developing and growing relationships with key utility partners, market participants, regulators, policy makers and other stakeholders.
• Negotiate deal terms and plan for demand flexibility with optionality in mind, and present different scenario analyses to extend the shelf life, or accelerate delivery of, certain options while balancing capacity options and plans for the business.
• Negotiate and deliver new commercial agreements that enable capacity and create fungible options to allow us to deliver capacity in new and creative ways.
• Partner with legal resources to develop and refine commercial arrangements for existing facilities while managing the structures required to serve our facilities with reliable, cost‑effective, sustainable energy.
• Partner with the Site Selection Team to help identify new locations in the United States that provide necessary energy requirements for new data centers.
• Interface with internal organizations including data center on‑site staff, sustainability, policy, communications, design, construction, legal and finance.
• Support continued development and execution of Meta's energy supply strategy for data centers.
• Stay informed of the technical, market, and regulatory developments in the energy industry and communicate key trends, risks and potential impacts to management.
• Lead and support various energy projects as needed.
• Ability to travel domestically (25% likely).

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a directly related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, environmental science, or an energy‑related discipline.
• 10 years of experience in commercial energy, utility negotiations, or grid operations, with direct exposure to demand response, flexible interconnection, or capacity market structures.
• Working knowledge of demand response programs, BYOC capacity arrangements, and flexible load tariffs across at least one major U.S. RTO or ISO market.
• Experience representing business interests to utilities, grid operators, regulatory agencies, and industry working groups.
• Working knowledge of transmission, distribution, and utility interconnection processes, including the distinction between vertically integrated and deregulated market structures.
• Experience managing cross‑functional programs involving engineering, legal, policy, and commercial teams.
• Ability to communicate complex regulatory, commercial, and technical details clearly to stakeholders at all organizational levels.
• Proficiency in standard document and analytics platforms (Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs, etc.).
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally (approximately 25%).

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies.
• Experience developing or implementing demand‑side management programs at scale.
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements).
• Master's degree in business, engineering, energy policy, or related field.
• Direct experience negotiating demand response or flexible interconnection agreements with utilities or RTOs/ISOs.
• Established relationships with utilities, grid operators, or energy industry stakeholders.
• Experience with multiple U.S. RTO/ISO markets (e.g., PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP).
• Background in energy regulatory proceedings or policy development.
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews).
• Experience with energy modeling, forecasting, or scenario analysis tools.
• Familiarity with data center power infrastructure and operational requirements.
