Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of product management experience, ideally including consumer products people love
- A track record of owning ambitious, cross-functional work end to end, from vision through launch
- Comfort building something new, where the path is not yet defined and decisions carry weight
- Sound judgment on trade-offs, and the ability to make prioritization calls when goals compete
- A strong sense of brand and storytelling, and an eye for what makes an experience feel special
- Comfort working through trust, privacy, and policy questions at scale
- Clear, structured communication, and the credibility to align partners and leaders around a shared vision
- A bias toward action and steady progress, even when the path is not fully mapped
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Product Manager to lead one of Airbnb's most ambitious new efforts, from an early idea to a global launch
- This is not one feature or one surface. It reaches across the company: how people discover and book, how they pay, how they build trust, the support they receive, and the way Airbnb shows up as a brand. Your job is to pull those threads into a single experience that feels new and coherent
- You will own the work end to end, from strategy and product decisions to the story we tell when it launches. Airbnb is a platform that brings people together, and this work sits at the center of that. Get it right and it raises the bar across the guest and host experience, not just one corner of it
- Define and drive the vision and roadmap for a new product experience, from concept through launch
- Set the vision for how this connects stays, experiences, payments, trust, and support into one journey
- Make prioritization calls that balance the needs of guests, hosts, and the business
- Partner with brand and marketing to shape how the product is introduced and talked about
- Bring together teams from across Airbnb, including product, design, engineering, data science, payments, trust, customer support, marketing, and policy, around a shared plan
- Launch in stages, learn from each step, and refine as the product grows
- Stay close to guests and hosts, using research, data, and market signals to sharpen strategy
- Translate complex trade-offs into clear decisions for teams and concise narratives for leadership
Our take
When Airbnb was originally founded, the product helped customers book air mattresses on people's apartment floors. Since then, Airbnb has had over a billion customers hosted through its platform. With more than 4 million registered hosts worldwide, it has grown into a major player in the hospitality sector.
Airbnb has been successful in disrupting the traditional holiday lettings sector. Before it existed accommodation was limited to hotels and bed and breakfasts, but Airbnb has mainstreamed the idea of renting out spare rooms or even entire homes. It has created a new sector of hosts purchasing properties to rent out on the platform and provides a level of flexibility and a range of offerings not previously possible for travelers.
Perhaps a victim of its own success, by 2022 supply of Airbnb-listed properties began to outstrip demand in some markets, as hosts overestimated the appetite for domestic travel. However, the company is still posting strong financials and has unveiled new tools to support its hosts in a tougher rental market. With a healthy bottom line and a huge user base, Airbnb is very likely to overcome the current market turbulence and continue its growth.
