• Partner with the Policy team to engage in regulatory processes, monitoring and assessing the evolving regulatory landscape related to demand flexibility.
• Actively manage commercial relationships for data centers located in a variety of energy markets, developing and growing relationships with key utility partners, market participants, regulators, policy makers, and other stakeholders.
• Negotiate deal terms and plan for demand flexibility with optionality in mind, presenting different scenario analyses to extend the shelf life or accelerate delivery of certain options.
• Negotiate and deliver new commercial agreements that enable capacity and create fungible options for delivering capacity in new and creative ways.
• Partner with legal resources to develop and refine commercial arrangements for existing facilities while managing the structures required to serve our facilities with reliable, cost-effective, sustainable energy.
• Partner with the Site Selection Team to help identify new locations in the United States that provide necessary energy requirements for new data centers.
• Interface with internal organizations including data center on-site staff, sustainability, policy, communications, design, construction, legal, and finance.
• Support the continued development and execution of Meta's energy supply strategy for data centers.
• Stay informed of technical, market, and regulatory developments in the energy industry and communicate key trends, risks, and potential impacts to management.
• Lead and support various energy projects as needed.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, environmental science, or an energy-related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10 years of experience in commercial energy, utility negotiations, or grid operations, with direct exposure to demand response, flexible interconnection, or capacity market structures.
• Working knowledge of demand response programs, BYOC capacity arrangements, and flexible load tariffs across at least one major U.S. RTO or ISO market.
• Experience representing business interests to utilities, grid operators, regulatory agencies, and industry working groups.
• Working knowledge of transmission, distribution, and utility interconnection processes, including the distinction between vertically integrated and deregulated market structures.
• Experience managing cross-functional programs involving engineering, legal, policy, and commercial teams.
• Ability to communicate complex regulatory, commercial, and technical details clearly to stakeholders at all organizational levels.
• Proficiency in standard document and analytics platforms (Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs, etc.).
• Ability to travel domestically (approximately 25%).

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in business, engineering, energy policy, or related field.
• Direct experience negotiating demand response or flexible interconnection agreements with utilities or RTOs/ISOs.
• Established relationships with utilities, grid operators, or energy industry stakeholders.
• Experience with multiple U.S. RTO/ISO markets (e.g., PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP).
• Background in energy regulatory proceedings or policy development.
• Experience with energy modeling, forecasting, or scenario analysis tools.
• Familiarity with data center power infrastructure and operational requirements.
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies.
• Experience developing or implementing demand-side management programs at scale.
• 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).
