Product Manager, Search

The Community You Will Join:

Our Product Managers imagine the ideal experience for our community and work backwards, creating innovative products that delight our guests and hosts. They deeply understand the needs of our users and translate these into a strategy that combines strong product thinking and deep research. They partner with talented cross-functional team members across engineering, design, operations, data science, and more, leading teams to execute a shared vision. They are incredibly detail-oriented and hands on.

The Difference You Will Make:

Airbnb is seeking an exceptional product manager to reimagine how guests search on Airbnb. Search is the front door to the entire guest experience — the moment someone tells us what they want and we have to understand it, then show them the right options in the right order. Today that means query understanding, filtering, and ranking. Tomorrow it means next-generation AI capabilities that let guests search more naturally, get better matches with less effort, and trust that Airbnb understood what they were actually looking for.

In this role, you will own the vision and roadmap for the future of search at Airbnb — pushing beyond keyword and filter-based search toward more intelligent, conversational, and personalized ways for guests to find their perfect stay. You'll partner closely with engineering, design, and data science teams to bring new AI-powered search capabilities from concept to guests.

This is a high-visibility role building one of the most consequential surfaces in the guest experience, and will regularly interface with senior engineering and leadership stakeholders.

A Typical Day:

• Define and drive the long-term vision and roadmap for the future of search on Airbnb, including next-generation AI capabilities like natural language and conversational search, query understanding, and intelligent ranking.
• Own how guests search on Airbnb end to end — from the moment they express intent to the moment they find the right option.
• Partner closely with engineering, applied ML, and data science teams to design, prototype, and ship AI-powered search experiences.
• Use quantitative analysis and experimentation (A/B testing) to validate that new search capabilities improve relevance, conversion, and guest satisfaction.
• Translate ambiguous guest problems into clear product requirements, prioritized against business impact and technical feasibility.
• Collaborate with design and research to understand how guests search, filter, and decide today — and where AI can remove friction.
• Work cross-functionally with Host-side and Trust teams to ensure smarter search continues to surface the right inventory fairly and accurately.
• Communicate roadmap, results, and trade-offs clearly to engineering partners and leadership.

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.
