Technical Program Manager III

Title: Technical Program Manager III
Location: Meno Park, CA
Duration: 12 Months
Pay: $100-110/hr

About the role
*** Marketing Strategy, Analytics, and Operations (SAO) organization is seeking an experienced, AI-native Technical Program Manager to join our Marketing Decision Science organization, supporting our Family of Apps (FOA) Data Science teams.

As a TPM you will play a crucial role in building and supporting high-performing Decision Science teams and their leadership while creating a bridge to their business partners to drive business impact through AI solutions and efficiencies. These teams operate with a high degree of technical expertise, a rigorous business focus, and an agile delivery mindset. You will be embedded with FOA DS partners across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads, and Messenger, running the operations for our DS teams to translate marketing data into measurable insights and impact.

Key responsibilities
Defining and maintaining strong collaborative operating rhythms across FOA DS teams and their XFN partners
Guiding roadmap planning, including quarterly revisions and re-prioritization
Implement and execute regular working rhythms to ensure a dependable delivery rhythm of high-quality work in alignment with the top priorities of the business
Helping break down work into actionable tasks and ensuring sufficiently scoped work is ready for engineers and data scientists
Unblocking work and resolving team impediments
Tracking project progress, deliverables, and milestones
Coordinating and managing dependencies across DS, DE, Marketing, Product, and XFN teams
Organizing and maintaining project information and documentation across the team and in our AI-enabled knowledge repositories
Providing regular stakeholder updates on timelines, status, and risks

AI-native expectations
Beyond traditional TPM execution, you have demonstrated outcomes leveraging AI to:
Operate AI-first: Use AI agents to draft status reports, synthesize stakeholder updates, summarize meetings, and generate first-pass artifacts (decks, briefs, retros) so the team can review and refine instead of starting from blank pages, while balancing the need for human review
Automate operating cadences: Build and maintain lightweight AI-driven workflows for recurring rituals — weekly status rollups, executive updates, debriefs, and contribution digests
Evaluate and onboard AI tooling: Pilot new AI capabilities (internal Meta AI agents, tools, skills, and integrations) and help ensure rigor when evaluating building new solutions vs. adopting existing ones
Codify team knowledge: Help maintain a structured "team brain" — context, soul, and agent definitions — that lets AI tools act on the team's behalf for routine coordination work
Raise the bar on documentation quality: Treat documentation as machine-readable context, not just human-readable narrative, so AI agents can reliably reason over it

Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field
At least 5 years of experience in technical program management, project management, or related fields — ideally supporting data science, data engineering, or analytics teams
Strong technical acumen and understanding of data, software development, and analytics workflows
Excellent communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
Proven track record of successfully managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects from start to finish
Experience working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, managing multiple priorities and stakeholders
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to think creatively to solve complex challenges
Self-starter with a bias towards action and a passion for driving results

AI-native requirements

• Demonstrated working practice with AI tools in a PM/TPM context — e.g. using Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, or equivalent agents to draft, summarize, automate, or accelerate program management work with quantifiable business outcomes
• Comfort writing prompts, building lightweight automations, and reasoning about where AI augments vs. where it shouldn't be in the loop
• Curiosity about agentic workflows, and comfort staying ahead of the curve on an incredibly quickly evolving space
• Examples of AI-driven workflows you have personally built or adopted at a previous role are strongly preferred

Nice to have

• Familiarity with Meta's Family of Apps surfaces and the marketing/data science partnership model
• Experience with experimentation, measurement, or growth marketing data domains
• Prior contingent worker engagement at Meta or a similar large tech environment
