Job description

The Meta Product Technical Program Management (TPM) community is pioneering technologies to bring people (and businesses) closer together at a global scale. Product TPMs work at the cross-section between technical execution and business strategy and are expected to partner closely with Engineering and Product teams. Being a TPM at Meta means driving impact by delivering measurable results across a wide range of areas. You'll be responsible for defining and guiding high‑level goals and roadmaps, monitoring and communicating progress, and defining functional requirements for new products and features. It also means having a solid technical background, including familiarity with system architecture, data pipelines, and software development practices, understanding system architecture, and the experience to effectively collaborate across functions and organizations to deliver impact.

The Signal Growth team in Ads is on a mission to transform digital advertising – building cutting‑edge technical programs that drive durable business growth through major regulatory, platform, and policy shifts. It's one of Meta's most strategic advertising bets: expanding the value of first‑party data (1PD) and third‑party data (3PD) signals, enriching merchant metadata, and pioneering privacy‑preserving ML that recovers signal value while respecting user choices and meeting strict privacy standards. As a TPM on the Signal Growth team at Meta, you'll be at the forefront of shaping the future of advertising – providing the technical and organizational leadership to drive large‑scale, cross‑functional programs from strategy to shipped‑at‑scale. You'll make hard architecture and prioritization calls, align many teams behind a coherent roadmap, and turn frontier ML into real advertiser and business impact. It's an ambitious goal, and we need a leader who can help us get there.
