Sr Social Measurement Lead
About the role
The Community You Will Join
Social media is an emerging discipline for Airbnb. We're seeking a Senior Social Measurement Lead to build an effective social media measurement strategy for Airbnb's global marketing and comms teams. The job will cover all content published on our owned channels, the social elements of our marketing and comms campaign work, and our influencer and creator programs. The right candidate will know how to identify, structure, and activate the right data — turning raw performance information into something usable, and ultimately into decisions that move the business forward.
You will partner closely with social strategy, social creative, Comms, Data Science, and regional marketers to help Airbnb understand the impact of social media on business outcomes, and guide the team at both a day-to-day and at a strategic level on how to grow our channels and improve performance.
The Difference You Will Make
You will define how Airbnb measures social media — from the frameworks and tools we use to the stories we tell about performance. This is a greenfield opportunity to build a best-in-class measurement practice for one of the world's most recognized brands.
You will go beyond dashboards. Your work will shape how Airbnb understands the impact of social on business outcomes, how teams make day-to-day creative and strategic decisions, and how leadership evaluates the effectiveness of our global social investment. You will bring rigor, innovation, and a bias for action — leveraging AI, experimentation, and deep platform expertise to keep Airbnb ahead of the curve.
