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.
