This is a rare opportunity to work on a genuine zero-to-one bet inside a company at global scale. The categories are still being defined, the playbook is still being written, and the ceiling is enormous: every trip is a chance to add a service, and every service is a chance to deepen why guests choose Airbnb. You'll partner closely with the teams building the supply side (hosts and partners), along with engineering, design, data science, and operations, to grow new categories from first bookings into thriving marketplaces.
A Typical Day
Define the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for how guests discover, book, and enjoy services—from the first impression to the moment the chef arrives or the car is dropped off.
Ship and iterate fast. Prototype and partner with engineering and design to build, launch experiments, read the results, and decide what to double down on and what to kill.
Live in the data. Define the metrics that matter, like conversion, attach rate, repeat booking, guest satisfaction, and use them to find where guests drop off and where the biggest opportunities are.
Obsess over the guest. Talk to guests, read the reviews and support tickets, take the bookings yourself. Bring the real, unfiltered voice of the guest into every prioritization conversation.
Balance both sides of the marketplace. Partner with the supply and operations teams building the provider side, so that what's great for guests is also sustainable for the hosts and partners delivering the service.
Drive clarity across orgs. Bring engineering, design, marketing, ops, legal, and leadership along with a clear strategy.

A Note on Recruiting Scams: Scammers sometimes pose as Airbnb recruiters to get money or personal information from candidates. A few things that will always be true for Airbnb’s hiring process: our open roles are posted on Airbnb’s Career’s Page at careers.airbnb.com, and our recruiters correspond only from @airbnb.com or @ext.airbnb.com email addresses. Our recruiters will never ask for your Social Security number, bank account details, passport, or payment app information while you are interviewing. We’ll also never ask you to pay a fee, send money, deposit or cash a check, or purchase work-related equipment (such as a company laptop) during the interview process. We encourage candidates to remain vigilant of these recruiting scams and not share sensitive information if you do not believe an individual is actually affiliated with Airbnb.
