Media Manager, Consumer Marketing

Meta's Global Media Organization is seeking an experienced paid media leader to join our Family of Apps (FOA) Media team. This team is responsible for media strategy, planning, and execution across WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and Creators. In this role, you will own end-to-end media strategy and planning for FOA campaigns — from insight-driven brief development through channel planning and executional rigor. You will partner closely with Marketing, Insights & Analytics, Decision Science, Creative, Partnerships, and Marketing Technology teams to deliver integrated programs that connect brand objectives to measurable media outcomes.

You will bring both strategic depth and executional precision — designing data-informed media strategies by forming hypotheses, building frameworks from historical performance, research, and marketplace knowledge — then ensuring those strategies are activated with rigor across both direct and programmatic platforms across digital, TV/CTV, audio, OOH, social, custom programs, and more.

We're looking for someone with range: a thinker who moves fluidly between strategic frameworks and tactical execution, who understands platform-level programmatic tradeoffs, and who partners with agency teams to define clear activation standards and ensure consistent execution quality in how campaigns come to life.
