HR Business Partner - Meta Recommendation Systems

Meta Recommendation Systems (MRS) is the standalone organization reshaping how nearly 3 billion people across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads discover content every day. Operating at the absolute frontier of AI, MRS is building LLM-native recommendation systems, pioneering Personal Foundation Models, advancing generative retrieval and ranking, and fundamentally reimagining how people connect with the content and experiences that matter most to them. The ambition is not incremental - it's to build the most intelligent, personalized recommendation systems the world has ever seen. We are seeking an experienced HR Business Partner to support some of the most strategically critical functions within MRS. This role partners directly with: - Product Management: the team charting the product vision for unified recommendations across organic and ads. - Knowledge: the team building a deep understanding of content, users, and their interactions across all Meta surfaces. - Core Modeling: the team delivering the industry's highest-performing ranking and retrieval models. This HRBP will be at the center of the product and ads recommendations unification journey - one of Meta's most important strategic bets. You'll help leaders navigate the complexity of bringing together organic and monetization recommendation stacks, building unified foundation models, and scaling talent across a rapidly evolving technical landscape. The ideal candidate operates as a true strategic business partner - someone who earns a seat at the table through insight, judgment, and a deep understanding of how people and organizations drive business outcomes. You'll need to be fluent in the language of AI/ML, comfortable operating in ambiguity at scale, and ready to partner with some of the strongest product and engineering leaders at the company.Minimum Qualifications10+ years of experience in an HR Business Partner or equivalent roleExperience helping global and/or highly matrixed organizations scaleDemonstrated solid judgment and experience assessing risk relative to the businessConsulting, coaching, and facilitation skillsEffective communication and critical thinking skillsDemonstrated empathy and experience driving collaborative work across cross-functional teamsDemonstrated project management and change management experienceExperience using data to identify insights that drive actionDemonstrated experience learning and thriving in a constantly changing environment and cultivating relationships across teamsDemonstrated experience in influencing and strategically solving complex organizational problemsPreferred QualificationsDemonstrated 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 technologiesExperience partnering with AI/ML, engineering, or deeply technical product organizationsExperience supporting organizations going through large-scale strategic transformations (e.g., org unification, platform migrations, operating model changes)BA/BS degreeBilingual proficiency in both English & Mandarin a plusResponsibilitiesDesign and deliver targeted organizational solutions with a high degree of focus on scale and growth, including strategic planning, org design, talent assessment, change management, and team buildingProvide strategic business partnership, thought partnership, and executive coaching to senior leaders navigating one of Meta's most complex technical and organizational transformationsProactively assess team, manager, and organizational development needs across product and engineering functions; make recommendations and implement appropriate solutionsDrive the talent strategy for the unification of organic and ads recommendation systems - including workforce planning, capability building, and leadership developmentProvide rigorous data analysis and reporting solutions based on business needs to inform people strategyManage and facilitate the overall Performance Summary Cycle and employee engagement survey throughout the yearIntegrate and partner with HR colleagues in Recruiting, Learning & Development, Compensation, Legal, and HR Programs teams to implement solutions and help scale the businessAct as a trusted advisor on organizational health, team effectiveness, and culture - ensuring the people strategy keeps pace with the technical ambitionAbout MetaMeta builds technologies that help people connect, find communities, and grow businesses.
