Infrastructure Business Operations Support (IBOS) Central Director Facebook Menlo Park

Job Description: • 2-minute read •
Facebook is seeking an experienced supply chain and logistics professional for the IBOS Central Manager Position. IBOS has the mission to help key FB stakeholders to get the right item to the right place at the right time, ensuring financial compliance and operational excellence. IBOS is a service organization, mainly supporting internal customers operating the Facebook infrastructure footprint, but with emerging customers outside that footprint as well. We work collaboratively with partners up and down the Facebook supply chain system and cross-functionally with Infrastructure partners as well. For each customer, we seek to support the careful management of material life cycles, from demand inception through reception, storage, distribution, operation, RMA, decommissioning and disposal. We do this to produce both consistent operational reliability and stellar financial accounting.

This manager has several important responsibilities. First and foremost, this manager leads, directs, coaches, establishes strategic direction, and sets priorities for a team of experienced, skilled logistics professionals. This leader will guide the team as it develops, standardizes, scales, and improves the logistics plans, workflows, and tools needed to support the projected aggressive growth of the Facebook infrastructure. This infrastructure includes data centers, points-of-presence (POPs), integrators, warehouses, third-party vendors, and other discrete locations at which Facebook material must be received, accounted for, placed into operation, and eventually removed. This team analyzes requirements and develops means by which our stakeholders have the equipment they need—at the right time and place—to connect to our users. This is a fast-paced, dynamic environment that continually presents opportunities to produce solutions for a wide diversity of interesting and often complex challenges, to develop, align and drive project roadmaps, and to provide consistent, responsive service to our partners who count on it.
