Director, Data Science - Central Product Platform (CPP)

Central Product Platform (CPP) exists to make product success and innovation at Meta better and faster. CPP builds the platforms every product group runs on: the Experimentation Platform behind tens of thousands of tests and most launch decisions, the Research Platform that turns user research into an agent-accessible asset, the Metrics Platform that defines Meta's core metrics, and the analytics, design, and communication platforms teams use to answer questions and ship. AI is the lever reshaping all of it — analytics is going agent-native, research is becoming queryable in natural language, and experimentation is being rebuilt so AI can propose, run, and read tests. This role is a DS Tech Lead who operates across CPP, taking the toughest measurement problems head-on. We are seeking a Data Scientist at the principal level to serve as a thought leader and strategic analytics partner for the company. platforms Meta's product teams rely on to research, experiment, and decide what to build. In this role, you will define the analytical vision across these platforms, shaping how Meta measures success, sizes opportunities, and makes data-driven decisions across complex, cross-functional initiatives. You will partner directly with executive leadership to translate ambiguous business questions into rigorous analytical frameworks, set the bar for what a strong metric, evaluation, and causal claim looks like, and establish the standard for how data science is practiced across the organization.
