Senior Manager, Market Management AMER, Experiences
About the role
The Community You Will Join
Every day, Airbnb hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way. Since our founding, more than 5 million hosts have welcomed over 1.5 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Airbnb Experiences are completely reimagined experiences — hosted by local people, brands, businesses and content creators who know their city best. Every activity offers guests an authentic way to connect with the place they’re in and to meet people with shared interests.
The Market Management Team, within the Experiences Supply organization is a multidisciplinary team that focuses on onboarding, managing, and optimizing the most exciting activities hosted by locals happening in your city today. We also work with the most exciting people, businesses and brands to introduce new experiences to the world. We create exceptional hosted experiences that foster human connection, combatting the loneliness epidemic by bringing people together in the real world. We then work closely with the hosts of these experiences to ensure they deliver the best experience to guests, while growing their business.
