The AI, Compute, and Storage (ASC) team within the Global Supply Chain Operations (GSCO) group is responsible for teaming with our supply chain partners to build, deliver, and enable Meta's AI and Compute and Storage infrastructure. Meta's computing foundation is its Data Centers, and key strategic partnerships with Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) across the Compute and Storage industry are a crucial piece in building and operationalizing this infrastructure. The ACS-GSCO is responsible for managing these relationships, setting and achieving key performance metrics (ex. On-time delivery) from our ODM partners while working dynamically to unlock challenges on the tactical (ex. supply), strategic (ex. sourcing strategy), and foundational (ex. process overhaul) levels for both ODMs and Meta. The team is dynamic, needing to coordinate across engineering, NPI, mass production, and sustaining challenges all within a given cycle, while also being subject matter experts, with deep familiarity across ODM management, production, manufacturing, and delivery best practices. Put simply: the ACS-GSCO team is composed of flexible problem solvers who build relationships both within- and beyond- Meta to achieve industry-leading performance and pave the way for Meta's AI-enabled infrastructure. The ODM Operations Manager is a crucial role for the ACS-GSCO team, playing a pivotal part in operationalizing and optimizing our global supply chain. Serving as a detail-oriented operational leader of the sourcing organization in-region, this role has significant leadership responsibilities including driving sources of truth, responding to the most pressing operational needs across AI, Compute and Storage, and escalating/driving solutions with senior leadership at Meta and our ODM partners. Due to these factors, this role is a dynamic, impactful, critical, and crucial part of the GSCO global leadership team
