Data Platform & Governance Manager

Meta Business Services Finance Data & Analytics builds the governed data foundation that Meta's Finance organization runs on — the certified datasets, semantic models, and data products that controllers, accountants, business partners, and AI agents rely on to answer questions and make decisions.

We are hiring a Manager, Data Platform & Governance to lead the technical layer of our Finance Data Strategy. This is a hybrid leadership role: you will manage and grow a team of data engineers, set and enforce the platform and governance standards our Finance data domains are built to, and represent the strategy directly with senior Finance and Engineering leaders. You will be accountable for delivery that is visible in real time, and for outcomes that measurably change how Finance teams work day to day.

Provide technical oversight of engineering standards, data assurance, and the business/semantic layer across all Finance data domains, ensuring consistency and quality at scale
Set and enforce data governance standards: metadata and documentation, metric definitions, glossary coverage, data ownership and pipeline SLAs, schema and naming conventions, and access controls
Own data quality and observability — monitoring, tiered alerting, lineage and impact analysis, and automated remediation
Ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of AI agents and analytics tools built on Finance data, including evaluation datasets, accuracy measurement, and sustained quality benchmarks
Hire, manage, and develop a team of data experts; set role scope, performance expectations, and career growth plans
Actively mentor team members at various experience levels — pairing on technical work, teaching platform and governance fundamentals, and creating opportunities for them to take on visible ownership
Partner closely with central Data Engineering and platform organizations, building internal capability while strengthening those relationships
