Facebook Will Boost Chicago Presence in 2017
Facebook is growing its Chicago office,
hiring for 30 new roles in 2017 with plans to grow the team in years to come.
The new roles fall under the Partner Management (PM) team, which helps small and medium-sized businesses use Facebook’s services, such as Pages and advertising, to grow their business. Open roles include Partner Manager, Team Lead and Manager and the company will be hiring through 2017. Facebook’s PM team is usually located in Austin, Texas, but Facebook said Chicago’s “talent pipeline and attractiveness to new candidates” is the reason they’re expanding here.
"We made the decision to expand to Chicago because it gives us another really strong market that has a rich talent pipeline, rich community, and a very broad agency and client ecosystem," said Katherine Shappley, Facebook's SMB (small and medium business) regional director for North America to Chicago Inno. "This expansion is really going to compliment the work that my team does across the country, and with the team in Austin. We believe that in making this investment in a new market, we can increase the support for both our agency and advertising partners."
