Application Manager, Procurement

Meta's Enterprise Technology team is responsible for building integrated, scalable, and robust enterprise applications that power the business at a global scale. We are seeking an Application Manager to own and transform Meta's procurement application ecosystem — spanning source-to-pay, vendor management, contract lifecycle, and spend optimization.

In this role, you will shape the strategic direction of procurement technology across multiple domains, influence cross-organizational priorities, and drive transformational initiatives that impact billions of dollars in global spend and tens of thousands of users.

You will operate at the intersection of technology, procurement operations, finance, and compliance — navigating ambiguity to deliver high-impact outcomes that redefine how Meta buys.

Responsibilities

• Define and execute the multi-year application strategy for Meta's procurement technology ecosystem, including custom-built procurement applications, Oracle Fusion Procurement (PO, Sourcing, Supplier Portal), Spend (AP Invoicing and Payments), Contract lifecycle management tools, and Spend analytics platforms — ensuring alignment with evolving business priorities at Meta's scale
• Serve as the primary owner for transformational procurement technology initiatives, driving end-to-end delivery across complex, ambiguous problem spaces that span multiple domains (Source-to-Pay, Procure-to-Pay, Supplier Management)
• Own architecture decisions across the procurement application landscape (hybrid 1p and 3p products), evaluating the total cost of ownership for buy-vs-build decisions, integration strategies, and platform consolidation opportunities to optimize Meta's technology investments
• Influence and redefine key performance indicators (KPIs) across procurement domains — aligning product and business metrics with evolving processes to drive strategic decision-making and continuous improvement at scale
• Lead cross-organizational collaboration with Procurement, Finance, Legal, Security, Privacy, Engineering, and Data Science stakeholders to translate complex business requirements into scalable, reliable application solutions
• Define and maintain a comprehensive risk, security, and compliance framework for procurement and spend applications — including SOX controls, audit strategy, data integrity monitoring, and regulatory readiness across global operations
• Drive the adoption of AI, automation, and emerging technologies to transform procurement and spend processes — from intelligent spend classification and predictive analytics to automated approval workflows and supplier risk scoring
• Own application health targets across the procurement ecosystem, continuously benchmarking against industry-leading standards. Establish production support processes, lead root-cause analysis for production incidents, and drive system upgrades and performance optimizations
• Influence third-party vendor roadmaps (Oracle, procurement platform vendors) to align with Meta's priorities. Build and manage strategic vendor partnerships, escalate critical gaps, and ensure business continuity
• Lead integration strategy across procurement platforms and adjacent systems (ERP — GL, AP, Fixed Assets; supply chain planning; vendor management), ensuring seamless data flows and end-to-end process integrity
• Champion user success across procurement applications — ensuring training, adoption, and feedback mechanisms are in place to maximize the impact of technology investments for a global user base
• Contribute to building the broader Application Management organization through recruiting, mentoring, identifying talent gaps, and driving knowledge-sharing initiatives that elevate team capabilities
