HR Director, Insights

Meta is seeking an HR Director to lead HR business partnership for the Insights organization under Alex Schultz - the analytics, data science, data engineering, and user research teams that shape how Meta understands its products and improves itself. The organization is building AI-first, redefining what insights work looks like as the tooling changes underneath it, and doing so after a period of significant structural change.

This role operates as a strategic thought partner to VP and Director-level leaders while leading and developing a team of senior HR Business Partners, setting both the people agenda for a large, highly matrixed, global organization and the priorities, coverage, and bench strength of the HR team supporting it.

Success in the role means stabilizing and energizing a changing organization, keeping senior individual contributors engaged and thriving, and bringing judgment to leadership capability, cross-functional composition, and strong org design as the team continues to transform.

The ideal candidate combines executive influence with the judgment to navigate ambiguity, and can move fluidly between enterprise-level strategy and the hands-on work of coaching leaders through change.
