67 jobs for "Project Leader"

Responsibilities

The Americas Public Policy team represents the company with governments, policymakers, NGOs, think tanks, nonprofits, and opinion leaders across North and South America. We advocate for the company on high-profile political, legislative, and regulatory issues, and help external audiences understand how our products work and the safeguards behind them.

Policy in the Americas is made at national, state, and local levels at once, which means the same issue can be live in a dozen places on different timelines.

You will take part in some of the most important policy conversations shaping the internet, with direct impact on how users, creators, and communities across the region experience our platforms.

The Program Management Office (PMO) team enables the Americas Public Policy organization to execute its priorities effectively across the region. The team provides strategic project management and operational leadership across complex policy initiatives, research and impact projects, high-profile events and stakeholder engagements, regional planning, budgets and procurement, and cross-functional projects. We are looking for an organized, creative, and highly driven PMO professional to serve as a key partner to our Spanish-Speaking Latin America (SPLA) Public Policy team. In this role, you will bring structure to complex initiatives, coordinate across teams and markets, anticipate needs and potential roadblocks, and help drive projects from planning through execution. You will be expected to work autonomously, manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment, and exercise sound judgment and discretion when handling sensitive or confidential matters.

- Partner with regional leadership on annual and quarterly planning, translating priorities into actionable plans, tracking progress, and driving alignment and follow-through across the team.
- Identify and implement opportunities to improve regional operations by developing scalable processes, tools, and ways of working that increase efficiency, strengthen execution, and reduce administrative burden for the Public Policy team.
