Data Center Central Planning Lead

Job description

We are looking for a Data Center Central Planning Lead to join Meta's Data Center Strategic Planning organization. In this role, you will own and lead the development of end-to-end, constraint-aware data center capacity plans that translate product growth, AI workload evolution, and fleet architecture into executable roadmaps across power (MW), cooling, space, and network. You will operate at the intersection of capacity engineering, portfolio planning, and investment decisioning, building quantitative models and scenario plans that inform multi‑billion‑dollar infrastructure choices. You will be expected to go deep in the data and engineering constraints while also serving as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, shaping direction through clear recommendations, executive-ready narratives, and cross‑org alignment. This is an individual contributor leadership role: success is defined by technical rigor, durable planning mechanisms, and sustained influence across organizations—including the ability to advise, challenge, and align senior stakeholders.
