Manager, PAR Operations

Products and Applied Research (PAR) organization is focused on building AI-powered experiences for people, bringing leading models built at Meta to consumers.
The Manager of PAR Operations will be a key operator within the PAR pillar of the Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) org, responsible for creating structure, rhythm, and alignment across multiple organizations inside and outside of MSL across Meta. This role is designed for a strategic, execution-oriented operator who can establish structure and clarity in a fast-moving environment — transforming a fast-moving, ambiguous AI org into one that operates with focus, accountability, and scale.

The right candidate combines analytical rigor, organizational awareness, and systems-level thinking to help leadership teams operate more effectively.
