About this role

Products and Applied Research (PAR) organization is focused on building AI-powered experiences for people, bringing leading models built at Meta to consumers.

The Manager of PAR Operations will be a key operator within the PAR pillar of the Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) org, responsible for creating structure, rhythm, and alignment across multiple organizations inside and outside of MSL across Meta.
