• Develop strategic and market perspectives by creating industry landscapes, competitive maps, and investment theses aligned to Meta’s strategic priorities.

• Coordinate with cross‑functional partners (Product, Engineering, Finance, Legal, Integration).
• Monitor trends in relevant technology markets.
• Summarize emerging themes, companies, and potential opportunities for the broader team.
