About the role

Senior technical authority within Meta's Examinations & Audit team, responsible for setting the technical strategy, control design, evidence production, and remediation across multiple external audits and regulatory regimes, including EU Digital Services Act. Combines technical program management with cross-functional leadership to ensure audit readiness, scalable control frameworks, and AI-enabled compliance optimization.

Responsibilities

  • Set the technical strategy for how Meta identifies, designs, and evidences controls across the E&A audit portfolio, spanning multiple regulatory regimes and concurrent engagements.
  • Define the control architecture that maps regulatory obligations to the specific systems, pipelines, configurations, and enforcement mechanisms that implement them — and establish the standards other teams and subject matter leads build to.
  • Own Meta's technical position on the most complex and contested auditor requests: determining what evidence exists, what it actually demonstrates, where it is authoritative, and how it must be presented to withstand independent testing.
  • Serve as Meta's senior technical voice with external auditors, regulators, and independent assessors, coordinating Meta's technical position and submissions across engagements.
  • Direct technical evidence production across the portfolio — scoping, sequencing across engineering and data teams, and validating that deliverables meet auditor expectations at first submission.
  • Drive remediation of the most significant findings, holding accountable engineering and product owners to management action plans (MAPs) through to closure.
  • Own maturation of E&A's control framework — control objectives, testing methodologies, and evidence standards — so that annual audit cycles are repeatable and scale as the regulatory portfolio expands.
  • Scale audit and compliance effectiveness using AI to deliver monitoring, oversight, artifact generation, and org-wide continuous improvement; develop and deliver an AI-native approach to evidence gathering and control testing.
  • Design the tooling, automation, and reporting architecture that gives leadership visibility into audit status, control health, evidence readiness, and remediation progress.
  • Build consensus and buy-in across Product, Engineering, Legal, Policy, Data Science, Operations, and Internal Audit on control ownership and evidence obligations, surfacing risk and dependencies early with clear mitigation and escalation paths.
  • Maintain an in-depth understanding of the evolving regulatory landscape affecting Meta — including Integrity, Youth, Privacy, and Security — and translate it into audit and control strategy.
  • Mentor and develop technical program managers and subject matter leads across the team, raising the technical bar of the function.

Qualifications

  • 12+ years of experience in compliance, audit, technology risk, or technical program management, including significant experience in a technical program management capacity
  • Experience setting the technical strategy for, or leading, multiple concurrent regulatory audit programs or external assessments (e.g., SOC, ISO, DSA, or government/regulatory audits). Deep experience with control identification, control design, and control testing, including establishing what constitutes sufficient and reliable evidence
  • Technical acumen — demonstrated ability to reason about systems architecture, data flows, logging, and engineering trade-offs in the context of compliance requirements
  • Experience directing technical evidence production across multiple engineering and data organizations under external deadlines
  • Experience serving as a senior technical counterpart to external auditors, regulators, or independent assessors
  • Experience developing and delivering AI-native strategies to scale compliance, assurance, or audit operations
  • Demonstrated ability to operate as a single-threaded owner for highly complex, ambiguous, cross-functional portfolios
  • Experience building governance structures, escalation processes, and reporting mechanisms that drive accountability across distributed teams
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with proven success influencing senior leadership across technical and non-technical audiences
