Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the DEC risk management framework for Meta's global DC portfolio: taxonomy, escalation criteria, and governance structure
- Build systematic early-warning processes that surface schedule, cost, and programmatic risks on a 24-month look-ahead horizon using leading indicators across procurement, design maturity, labor, permitting, and supply chain
- Identify when risks surfaced on one site signal systemic exposure across multiple campuses, regions, or programs; assess cross-project correlation and compounding effects
- Integrate risk intelligence into phase-gate reviews and investment decisions; recommend contingency management linking risk exposure to schedule and cost reserves
- Provide active leadership and influence in cross-functional forums such as Health Reviews and Performance Reviews, using project controls data and risk insight to drive proactive action
- Support DEC in improving cost and schedule performance through data-driven insights, trend analysis, and lessons learned—ensuring the business understands root causes of changes, delays, and emerging risks
- Lead the risk community of practice across DEC: develop structured capability-building programs that elevate risk literacy across Area Construction Managers, project controls, and delivery teams
- Coach teams on proactive risk identification and quantification; drive accountability for mitigation execution and escalation
- Drive product requirements, adoption, and continuous improvement of the organization's integrated risk management and project controls platforms (including Unifier integration with risk workflows)
- Partner with internal stakeholders (including data science) for quantitative schedule risk analysis (Monte Carlo, QSRA), risk-adjusted supply dates, simulation, and automated risk scoring
- Track risk response effectiveness and close the loop when mitigations underperform
- Approximately 25-50% travel to Data Center sites
Minimum Qualifications
- 15+ years of risk management or project controls experience on large-scale capital infrastructure programs ($1B+ portfolio)

- Experience communicating financial status and schedule details to executive management, drawing meaningful insights from broad data sets
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Finance, or equivalent technical field or related field experience
Preferred Qualifications
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
- Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
- Experience building risk communities of practice or structured capability development programs
- Experience implementing risk management or project controls tooling at enterprise scale (platforms, P6 integration, Unifier, workflow automation)
- Demonstrated success developing executive-level communications, presentations, and reporting
- Portfolio-level risk management across multiple simultaneous programs and geographies
- Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies

- AACE CCP or PSP, PMI-RMP, or IRM certification
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
- Supplier/vendor risk intelligence and supply chain risk management experience in construction
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize risk workflows and drive measurable impact
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
