Programs and Business Operations Lead

The Community You Will Join:

Our Services & Membership team is focused on developing and scaling new growth levers for Airbnb. As a business team we work at the intersection of product, marketing, and other supply and guest teams to design, test, and launch programs that drive meaningful value for both guests and hosts. We collaborate closely with product, marketing, data science, finance, and cross-functional teams globally to bring new ideas to life and scale what works.

The Difference You Will Make:

As a Programs and Business Operations Lead, you will work with the Director of Services and Membership to develop and execute strategies to grow the success of Airbnb. You are someone who thrives in ambiguous, early-stage environments and brings equal parts strategic thinking and operational rigor. You will define the levers that make programs successful, build the tools and frameworks that enable teams to move faster, and partner deeply with product and marketing to ensure programs are designed for both user value and business impact.

You are a builder—someone who doesn't wait to be handed a playbook but creates one. You're comfortable going from zero to one, can self-start on new initiatives, and are energized by the challenge of figuring out what works in an unproven space. You pair that builder instinct with strong analytical chops and the ability to communicate clearly across product, marketing, and operations. Your attention to detail, organization, ability to multitask, work on multiple priorities and work under pressure will all ensure you succeed.

You should be great at understanding the needs of the Airbnb community and defining levers to help them succeed in the platform. You will develop strong relationships and deliver valuable guidance to help them grow within the Airbnb marketplace.

This role requires expertise in operations, supply, marketplace dynamics, and data analytics, as well as the capacity to work crossfunctionally to remove obstacles and execute initiatives.

A Typical Day:

• Develop actionable business analysis - enable functional leads to provide consistent information to their teams and stakeholders
• Provide data driven insights quickly and accurately by leveraging tools such as SQL, excel and Tableau
• Partner with product and marketing teams to translate business goals into program requirements and go-to-market strategies—speaking their language and earning their trust as a strategic peer
• Identify new growth opportunities, design experiments to test hypotheses, and develop plans to scale proven levers
• Build tools and equip teams with the relevant data support to tools to make actionable decisions
• Create materials to communicate strategy and business performance to key stakeholders
• Manage cross-functional workstreams across product, marketing, data science, finance, partnerships, and business operations

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.
