Product Manager, Relevance and Personalization

The Community You Will Join:

The Relevance & Personalization (R&P) team is Airbnb's matching intelligence engine — a talented team of ML engineers, applied researchers, and technical program managers who connect guests to the right listings across every surface and help hosts compete and thrive in our marketplace. We work at the intersection of search ranking, recommendations, personalization, and generative AI, and we're building toward a future where Airbnb feels less like a search engine and more like a knowledgeable travel companion that understands your needs across your entire trip journey.

The Difference You Will Make:

As Product Manager for Relevance & Personalization, you will help set the strategy and drive execution for some of Airbnb's highest-leverage AI systems. You'll own the roadmap and shape how personalization works across the guest journey, and help define how we close the feedback loop for hosts. You'll partner with engineers, researchers, designers, and cross-functional teams to ship systems that directly drive bookings, guest satisfaction, and host success — at global scale.

A Typical Day:

• Define and drive the roadmap for Airbnb's relevance and personalization platform — from natural language query understanding to multi-turn, context-aware discovery experiences
• Make prioritization calls that balance multiple competing objectives: guest experience, host success, revenue, fairness, and marketplace health
• Partner with ML engineers and applied researchers to shape model strategy, evaluation frameworks, and experimentation design
• Align cross-functional partners — Guest, Host, MarTech, Trust & Safety, Customer Support — on shared goals and sequencing
• Drive the Tripcycle vision: ensuring R&P's intelligence layer connects across the full trip lifecycle, from inspiration through post-trip
• Design and oversee A/B experiments with rigorous metric design and long-term effect measurement
• Translate complex technical tradeoffs into clear decisions for engineering teams and concise narratives for leadership
• Foster an environment where engineers and product managers collaborate on building the future
• Stay close to guests and hosts: synthesize user research, marketplace data, and competitive signals to sharpen your intuition and refine 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.
