Posted on Friday, May 19, 2023

Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, Hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.

The Community You Will Join:

About Community Support Platform (CSP)

Customer Vision: Success is about delivering great customer service for our users - both self help and human support - throughout their Airbnb journey.

Business Vision: We believe that service will be a major differentiator and driver of Airbnb’s global success and growth. We’re building a technology platform that supports Airbnb as it scales, delivers an exceptional level of customer service and improves efficiency and the customer service agent experience.

About Digital Experience Platform (DSP)

At Airbnb, the Community Support journey begins when a guest or host reaches out for help and ends when their challenge is resolved. As a Product Manager on the Digital Experience Platform (DSP) team, you will lead cross-functional collaborations and leverage the best platform capabilities to create a seamless support experience for our users. To succeed in this role, you must have a keen eye for great user experience, strong collaboration skills, and the ability to influence stakeholders.

A successful product candidate will work collaboratively across multiple functional CS teams (business, ops, eng, DS, product etc) as well as build strong relationships with stakeholders from other organizations (design, insights, etc) to align and deliver on key initiatives for the Airbnb Community at global scale. Your goal will be to ensure that the Airbnb Community receives top-notch support, which is critical to the success of our business.

The Difference You Will Make:

Airbnb is a vision and mission driven company. Our Product Managers embody this culture and mindset. Product Managers here imagine the ideal end state for our community (guests and hosts) first and work backwards from it, challenging all current assumptions. They champion a winning strategy and leverage metrics to ensure we are making progress against it. They partner with talented cross-functional team members (across engineering, design, data science, etc.) and lead teams to execute upon a shared vision. They are incredibly hands on and are not afraid to roll up their sleeves to get the right outcome for our community. We are looking for leaders who want to join us in this journey to accomplish our mission of creating belonging everywhere.
