Principal Portfolio Manager, Infrastructure Development
Summary
Our data centers are the foundation upon which our rapidly scaling infrastructure efficiently operates to deliver our innovative services. Meta's Infrastructure team is seeking an experienced Principal Portfolio Manager to serve as the operational backbone of our Energy Infrastructure Investments pillar. This individual will be responsible for moving opportunities from early development and commercial structuring through investment approval, closing, and delivery readiness, and for building the program execution, governance, external partnership management, and cross-functional coordination needed to deliver billions of dollars in energy infrastructure investments - on time, on budget, and at unprecedented scale. This is a hands-on, senior individual contributor role for someone who combines commercial and financial judgment in energy development with the discipline to personally build and run the operating mechanisms that move a complex pipeline. The team has whitespace: you will create first-version processes, governance, and tools rather than inheriting a mature program. The principal portfolio manager is the execution engine behind Meta's energy infrastructure investments - standing up the governance, tracking, risk management, and cross-functional coordination that shapes opportunities into approved, signed deals and turns signed deals into delivered capacity, while helping manage the ongoing relationships with independent power producers, utilities, and energy ecosystem partners that make delivery possible. We welcome candidates whose experience combines energy development, utility, hyperscaler, project finance, infrastructure investing, commercial origination, and program leadership roles in different ways; there is no single required career path.
Required Skills:
Principal Portfolio Manager, Infrastructure Development Responsibilities:
1. Own the end-to-end program management, from early-stage development through approval, closing, and delivery, of Meta's energy infrastructure investment portfolio
2. Develop and maintain integrated program plans, master schedules, and milestone trackers that provide a clear line-of-sight across all active projects and investments
3. Drive the front end of the pipeline: support origination, diligence, siting, and permitting strategy, interconnection strategy, and commercial structuring so that opportunities reach investment approval readiness to execute
4. Support investment memos, diligence, and the structuring and execution of energy commitments, such as power purchase agreements, capacity agreements, energy service agreements, tolling or fuel-supply arrangements, interconnection agreements, and utility agreements, working with partners on capital, credit, and commercial terms
5. Drive predictable delivery by establishing rigorous stage-gate processes, decision frameworks, and escalation paths for the investment portfolio
6. Monitor and report on program health - cost, schedule, risk, and interdependencies - providing objective insights and early-warning signals to leadership
7. Identify and resolve cross-project dependencies, resource conflicts, and execution bottlenecks before they impact delivery timelines
8. Design and operate the governance framework for the Energy Infrastructure Investments pillar - including cadence of reviews, decision rights, reporting structures, and accountability mechanisms
9. Establish and run operating rhythms (weekly, monthly, quarterly) that keep the team and cross-functional partners aligned on priorities, progress, and risks
10. Create and maintain program dashboards, executive reporting packages, and board-ready materials that distill complex portfolio status into clear narratives
11. Own the risk register and mitigation tracker across the portfolio - ensuring risks are identified early, quantified, and actively managed
12. Serve as the connective tissue between Energy Infrastructure Investments and partner organizations - including Design, Engineering & Construction (DEC), Corporate Development, Site Selection, Legal, Finance and Accounting, Capacity Planning, Sustainability, and external development partners
13. Partner with Finance and Accounting to track capital deployment against budget, manage forecasting cadences, support variance analysis, and ensure alignment on investment accounting treatment and reporting requirements
14. Work with Legal to ensure contract execution, regulatory compliance milestones, and partner deliverables are tracked and met - coordinating closing checklists, condition precedent tracking, and ongoing covenant compliance
15. Coordinate with Corporate Development on transaction execution - aligning program timelines with deal closing schedules, integration planning, and post-close governance stand-up
16. Partner with Site Selection teams to ensure that energy infrastructure investment strategies are integrated into site diligence, land acquisition timelines, and regional development sequencing
17. Integrate with capacity planning teams to ensure that energy supply commitments are reflected in long-range infrastructure plans
18. Build scalable program management infrastructure - tools, templates, processes, and playbooks - that enables the pillar to grow without proportional overhead
19. Develop standardized reporting and communication frameworks that create transparency across a complex, multi-geography portfolio
20. Drive lessons-learned processes and post-investment reviews to continuously improve execution quality and cycle time
21. Stay informed of industry best practices in infrastructure program delivery and bring innovative approaches to Meta's energy development lifecycle
