Original job description
Summary:
Meta's Net Zero team drives Net Zero strategy, programs and engagement across the company and with our partners. We seek an experienced teammate to lead supplier clean electricity acceleration to support Meta's net zero in its value chain by 2030 goal.This role is responsible for designing and implementing the strategy that supports Meta's key suppliers in procuring clean electricity and reducing their operational emissions. The work spans the full range from scaled, programmatic support - capacity building, training, tooling, and guidance - through to in-depth 1:1 transaction support with individual suppliers, including in challenging geographies where clean energy availability is itself the barrier. A significant portion of the portfolio is APAC-facing, with supplier engagement across markets such as Malaysia, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, and South Korea; knowledge of U.S. clean energy markets is also desirable.Beyond supplier clean energy adoption, this is a role on a small, high-leverage team where breadth matters as much as depth. This role requires adapting and pivoting approaches when priorities shift. This role requires supplier clean energy adoption expertise with fluency in carbon accounting, knowledge of digital infrastructure decarbonization best practices, and methodologies for recognizing emission reductions in products and services - and with genuine interest in broadening into adjacent areas of supply chain decarbonization for infrastructure products and services over time.
