Responsibilities
- Draft board-level governance frameworks (in particular relating to emerging regulations), manage cross-functional alignment and end-to-end board approval processes
- Partner closely with other legal specialist teams, finance, tax, treasury, risk, compliance, and external counsel to resolve open issues and facilitate board decision making
- Manage the output of a globally distributed team to ensure timely delivery of corporate governance solutions
- Collaborate with the Corporate Responsibility & Non-Financial Reporting, Finance and other cross-functional teams on Meta’s global reporting programme
- Coordinate director briefings, support entity specific audits and periodic evaluations of governance roles and committees
- Provide corporate legal advice on group-wide reorganizations and other ad hoc projects as required
