Hello - hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm looking into risk assurance opportunities at Meta, especially Application Manager, Controls (min 5 YOE) and Manager, Compliance (min 12 YOE). I am a Senior Manager with 9 years of IT risks assurance experience. Does anyone have any thought on which position I should apply? If anyone currently at Meta could share your experience, that would also help. If anyone is open to providing referrals, I could provide my background. Facebook (Meta)

Over communication. This happened to me and it fucked me in reviews. Now I schedule a check in with both leads on those projects once or twice a week and refresh expectations and have them duke out priorities. Usually after the standup where responsibilities are assigned. I have on the master sheet for tracking tasks with each project a tab just for me and my list of responsibilities and decided priorities/deadlines for both projects so everyone has visibility. And ping in a group chat with the two managers/ leads if there are issues that pop up to impact expected timelines. I also speak up if they start over filling my plate. So I’ll assign number of hours estimates around items to show it’s not feasible to have 12 things that take an hour each on my plate to finish between Monday and Tuesday. And if meetings are overlapping and I can’t be in two places at once I make it their problem by communicating the issue and usually providing a suggested solution (pick a senior associate to get experience by leading the call I can’t make. )
You can also use concourse for the sub tasks to show/communicate as things are completed. Or just send an update email. So I have an email I send after the call to recap decided priorities with deadlines. Then an update I send at end of day for what done Vs is outstanding. And I’ll email sooner than end of day if something doesn’t look like it’ll be done by end of day and suggest another persons plate that could take that task if it cannot wait for me to get to it tomorrow.
But that emergency I need another person to take xyz if it can’t wait has to happen early. Otherwise the person that got assigned work at 4pm bc it can’t fit on your plate today will be unhappy and annoyed.
I think overcommunication is actually the right move. Stuff can't slip through the cracks if its out of your head and in other people's inboxes - that's the golden rule. I would personally work on a more fast-paced comms style adn try to get people to figure out their workloads rather than trying to do everything yourself
Intensive planning and delegation. Also prioritizing things. You need to keep your cool. You can do it, OP.
I will have to stick with delegation. I still agree with the other answers. But I think proper delegation is a game changer.
