Senior Platform Manager, Payment Platform Accounts

The Community You Will Join:

We’re looking for people who know and use Airbnb and believe in what we’re trying to accomplish. Airbnb is a marketplace that connects guests and hosts, and Payments is central to creating the trust that makes every transaction possible.

The Platform team plays the role of conductor, leveraging AI prototyping to bring together engineers, designers, and data scientists to build great product experiences. Our Payments Platform Managers define and execute roadmaps for their product areas, translating organizational priorities into clear plans, requirements, and measurable outcomes.

The Difference You Will Make:

We are building foundational platform capabilities that require expertise and experience with digital wallets and identity services, and how they interact with payment services for our guests and hosts across the world. The Senior Platform Manager, Accounts will help shape the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Payment Accounts area, and lead execution of cross-functional initiatives with partner teams across Payments, Trust, Guest & Host, and Compliance.

This is a highly strategic role with a mandate to define and build new platform capabilities and initiatives from the ground up. You will own how this platform scales to many different guest and host use cases, and support business outcomes on guest and host services.

You will partner with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, data scientists, marketplace businesses and operations to build and scale these capabilities. You will also work closely with external enterprise partners and identity stakeholders to deeply understand their needs and ensure the products we build drive real business impact.

A Typical Day:

• Account Foundations ownership, owning payments requirements with Trust, Guest & Host, and Compliance teams at Airbnb, and executing on logical account structures + external account orchestration in support of payments use cases.
• Account Receivables: Partner on account receivables and loss-reduction initiatives where Payment Accounts capabilities can improve user experience, operational clarity, or risk outcomes.
• Evaluation of account-related user data required to understand evolving behaviors and needs related to payment activity and management. Data signals related to payment preferences help deepen the passport profile (identity graph) associated with all users on the marketplace. These signals may also assist in reducing false positive risk and compliance actions as well.
• Resolution of account frictions and compliance information. Ongoing transparency and management of various business related information and points of contact to reduce downstream friction or unnecessary account restrictions. This would also be an area to manage account access among several different users with access to data, actions, and payment methods.

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.
