Meta is seeking a Senior Director to lead category management, go-to-market, and business planning and operations for our wearables and hardware portfolio. This role sits at the intersection of category and channel strategy, product launch, and commercial operations, and owns how our devices reach customers and sell through - across first-party, retail, telco, and direct-to-consumer channels. You will partner with product, product marketing, supply chain, finance, and sales to bring a fast-growing portfolio of consumer devices to market and scale it profitably around the world. You are a builder and an operator who can set multi-year strategy, bring clarity to ambiguity, and lead senior leaders to execute at pace. You understand that great products only win when the commercial model behind them is equally deliberate, and you know how to represent the reality of the channel in the rooms where product and market decisions get made.
