Workforce Strategy Manager

At Meta, our Infrastructure Data Center (IDC) team is at the forefront of designing, building, and operating a complex and rapidly expanding network of data centers. With dozens of locations worldwide, IDC includes thousands of skilled employees and contractors in hundreds of unique technical positions. The IDC Strategy team is seeking a Workforce Strategy Manager. In this role, you will work closely with leaders and subject matter experts to define and improve IDC's driver-based staffing strategies and leverage them to calculate and continuously refine role-level headcount allocation to IDC teams. This position requires business acumen, adaptability, the skill to partner with technical and leadership stakeholders, and attention to detail to ensure the appropriate roles are distributed to each team while strategies are rapidly shifting. While relying on and progressively improving automation and data are key in this role, success more often depends on being adaptive and collaborative as new strategies emerge.

Workforce Strategy Manager Responsibilities:

• Support detailed workforce management efforts, reconciling the optimal workforce design with actual workforce data as business strategies shift, ensuring each IDC team has the staff necessary to develop, deliver and operate Data Centers.
• Determine new staffing needs periodically and as new strategies emerge.
• Build extensive Data Center domain expertise to understand existing staffing strategies.
• Partner with expert stakeholders to accurately capture the scaling relationships between technical and operational requirements and workforce requirements to develop new staffing strategies.
• Support the approval and execution of staff hiring by providing summaries and clarifying logic and data supporting specific headcount decisions at the role level.
• Navigate and improve processes, tooling, and data related to workforce management.
• Demonstrate judgment and discretion when dealing with highly sensitive people data.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Operations, or related field
• 8+ years of professional experience in headcount strategy, workforce management or a related field (e.g., capacity planning, operational research)
• 5+ years of experience building and maintaining partnerships with executives, technical stakeholders, and cross-functional business partners
• 2+ years of experience with SQL, advanced excel or equivalent data experience
• Experience improving staffing strategies by rapidly learning workforce systems/data and technical business context

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience learning workforce management systems and data (e.g., Workday) and improving processes with programming or automation when necessary
• Experience in workforce strategy or related discipline at a similar organization (e.g. highly technical, rapidly growing, large-scale infrastructure, geographical distributed workforce).
