About The Position

The Meta SuperIntelligence Lab (Meta SuperIntelligence Lab) is dedicated to developing AI-powered experiences for consumers, leveraging Meta's cutting-edge models.

This role is for a highly strategic, execution-oriented operator who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and delivers at scale. You'll work across the MSL organization to identify what needs to get done, figure out how to do it, and make it happen — whether that's standing up a new process, driving a critical cross-org initiative, or solving a problem no one else has been able to crack.
