Program Manager, AI Campaign & Public Affairs

Meta; Olympia (WA); On-site; USD 119,000 - 171,000; Full time

Job summary

Meta's Public Affairs AI Campaign is a high-velocity, cross-functional initiative. As a Program Manager, you will embed with the campaign management team, building the execution backbone that keeps multiple workstreams in sync across communications, policy, research, legal, product, and marketing.

You'll translate strategy into disciplined plans, track progress and budget, and develop scalable playbooks that prevent gaps as the campaign expands to new markets and issues.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of related strategy, operations, consulting, or program/project management experience, including managing complex, cross-functional workstreams
• Experience building, optimizing, and scaling programs and processes within established teams experiencing growth or transformation
• Comfortable operating as a trusted partner to senior leaders — influencing without authority, being firm with requests, ensuring follow-through, and communicating shifting priorities clearly across stakeholders
• Experience working in complex, high-pressure environments where priorities shift quickly and ambiguity is the norm
• Strong organizational skills with a track record of managing multiple workstreams simultaneously, maintaining attention to detail, and delivering information in a highly organized manner
• Written and verbal communication skills — able to distill complexity into clear, actionable updates for diverse audiences
• Demonstrated ability to build relationships, drive alignment, and foster cooperation across teams you don't directly manage
• Experience coordinating across functions you don't directly manage — rallying partners through clarity, persistence, and shared purpose
• Experience planning and executing high-profile events or convenings that require tight cross-functional coordination on compressed timelines
• Experience in public affairs, public policy, advocacy, or communications — helpful for context but not required
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
• Track record of plugging into existing teams during growth or transformation and accelerating their output
• History of building structure and process in environments that didn't have it
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact
• Familiarity with AI policy landscape and the ability to rapidly develop working fluency in new subject matter
• Experience operating in complex, multi-stakeholder environments — e.g., consulting, government, corporate strategy, political campaigns, agency account management
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices

Responsibilities

• Partner with the AI Campaign team to build and maintain the cross-functional operating rhythms of the campaign — including meetings, escalations, reviews, reporting cadences, and communication channels — ensuring tight coordination across communications, marketing, policy, research, legal, and product teams
• Support campaign leadership in translating strategy into execution: building roadmaps, maintaining workstream trackers, managing timelines, and ensuring clear ownership and accountability across the campaign
• Drive the campaign's day-to-day status reporting, performance tracking, and budget management — surfacing risks early, flagging dependencies, and keeping leadership informed with the right level of detail at the right time
• Develop and scale working models, processes, and systems that improve cross-functional campaign collaboration and efficiency as the campaign grows — from planning frameworks to decision-making templates to internal communication tools
• Serve as connective tissue across the campaign's internal functions, ensuring workstreams are aligned, information flows freely between teams, and nothing falls through the cracks
• Support the preparation and coordination of leadership reviews, steering committee meetings, and other senior stakeholder touchpoints — ensuring materials are clearly framed and follow-ups are tracked
• Help build repeatable playbooks and best practices for campaign program management that can scale as we expand to new issues, markets, and workstreams
• Contribute to developing the broader Public Affairs Campaign Program Management function
