Director, Network Site Investments

Job description

Network Site Investments (NSI) secures and delivers the physical foundation that Meta's network runs on. The team evaluates markets, selects sites, partners with third-party data center providers that negotiate agreements for land, space, power, and interconnection, and manages the supplier, developer, operator, and landlord relationships that turn investment decisions into operational capacity. This is a global remit spanning established and emerging markets, where long procurement lead times, constrained supply, and multi-year commitments require disciplined investment and delivery decisions. As Director, you will lead the global investment strategy and end-to-end delivery program for two connected portfolios: the edge footprint that places capacity close to users, and the colocation midpoint facilities that aggregate and carry traffic between regions. You will translate demand forecasts into a multi-year pipeline of markets, sites, and capital commitments, and lead execution from market entry and site selection through commercial agreements, design integration, construction, commissioning, operational readiness, and handoff. You will be accountable for delivering capacity against schedule, budget, quality, reliability, and capacity objectives. The midpoint portfolio increasingly requires greenfield development rather than leasing existing facilities. You will work closely with external capital investors and third-party data center partners to lead land identification, utility and power procurement, developer and partner selection, build-to-suit structuring, and delivery oversight where existing facilities cannot meet requirements. Working with engineering, compute, deployment, and operations teams, you will ensure that facilities meet the power, cooling, connectivity, and readiness requirements for timely deployment. You will lead and develop a globally distributed organization of site investment and site delivery managers, including program and project leaders. You will build leadership depth and regional coverage, set clear performance expectations, and establish the operating discipline needed to manage a complex portfolio. You will partner with Network Planning, Capacity Planning, Backbone Planning, Sourcing, Legal, Finance, Tax, Policy, Energy, Data Center Site Selection, and design and operations teams to align investment decisions with technical requirements and business commitments.
