The Global Partnerships & Content organization works with the world's leading creators, public figures, and media companies to build content and entertainment experiences across Meta's platforms. Within it, the Strategy & Operations team sets direction, drives operational rigor, and turns the company’s biggest bets into executed plans. We are hiring a senior Strategy & Operations leader to drive Partnerships strategy across Instagram's Video and New Bets — the emerging, high-priority initiatives shaping the future of video and entertainment on the platform. This is a strategy-first role for a seasoned operator who can motivate teams, act as a trusted strategic advisor to Product and cross-functional partners, and bring clarity and momentum to ambiguous, fast-moving work. As priorities evolve, the mandate flexes across Instagram's newest and most important bets.

• Deliver executive-grade synthesis — turn messy inputs into crisp briefs, narratives, and recommendations for senior leadership
• Lead cross-functional initiatives and unblock escalations — stand up working groups, drive to root cause, and restore momentum on stalled priorities
