Director of Global Executive Protection Operations

Job description

Meta is seeking an experienced security executive to lead Global Operations within our Global Security Executive Protection organization. Reporting to the Director of Executive Protection and Threat Management, this leader owns the strategy, operating model, and end-to-end delivery of executive protection operations globally — including 24/7 residential and transportation security, domestic and international executive travel, event and offsite protection, and crisis response affecting Meta's senior leadership. The role carries direct people leadership of a team of Executive Protection Leads and program owners, and full accountability for the performance, budget, and risk posture of the programs under it. This is a senior leadership seat within Executive Protection and Threat Management. The successful candidate will operate as a trusted deputy to the Director — representing the organization to executive stakeholders, carrying decision authority in the Director's absence, and partnering as a peer with the leaders of Protective Intelligence, Threat Management, Specialized Executive Protection Operations, Risk Management, and the Founder's protection team. Breadth matters as much as depth: this leader must be equally credible running multi-million-dollar budgets and vendor portfolios, navigating Legal, Privacy, HR, and Compliance obligations, and standing in a room with Meta's most senior leaders during a live incident. The successful candidate is a builder and can execute strategy— someone who exemplifies Meta's values, makes work happen with speed and simplicity, reduces complexity rather than adding to it, and develops leaders who go on to lead. They bring a high degree of discretion, sound judgment in time-sensitive, high-stakes situations, and a demonstrated record of building high-performing, healthy organizations in high-stakes environments.
