About The Position

Meta’s Net Zero team leads net zero strategy, programs, and engagement across the company and with its partners. The Net Zero Manager, Supplier Clean Energy will lead the acceleration of supplier clean electricity adoption in support of Meta’s goal to achieve net zero in its value chain by 2030. The role designs and implements strategies to help key suppliers procure clean electricity and reduce operational emissions. The work ranges from scaled capacity building, training, tools, and guidance to one-on-one transaction support, including in geographies where clean energy availability is a barrier. A significant portion of the portfolio is APAC-facing, including supplier engagement in Malaysia, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, and South Korea; U.S. clean energy market knowledge is also desirable. This position sits on a small, high-leverage team and requires breadth, adaptability, and the ability to pivot as priorities change. It calls for supplier clean energy adoption expertise, fluency in carbon accounting, knowledge of digital infrastructure decarbonization best practices, and understanding of methodologies for recognizing emission reductions in products and services. The role also offers scope to broaden into adjacent areas of supply chain decarbonization for infrastructure products and services. The manager will analyze supplier data, advise suppliers on procurement structures and transaction execution, develop and pilot procurement and financing mechanisms, and build supplier capacity. They will serve as an internal clean energy subject matter expert, represent Meta in external coalitions and training programs, and work with data and reductions teams to operationalize emissions accounting methodologies. Additional responsibilities include improving product carbon footprint and supplier clean energy data processes, coordinating cross-functional initiatives, supporting net zero planning and executive communications, managing consultants, and identifying broader decarbonization solutions for infrastructure products and services.
