Job description
Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe.

• Partner across Engineering, Design, Product Marketing, Partnerships, Compliance, Operations, Data, and marketplace business teams to align roadmaps, resolve cross-org tradeoffs, and scale foundational platform capabilities — and work directly with external enterprise partners to deeply integrate product capabilities and drive real business impact
Your Expertise:
Required:
• Min 9-17 years of product management experience specializing in loyalty or incentive platforms, with a strong history of driving strategy, roadmap definition, and execution
• Proven track record building enterprise-level or B2B2C platforms for extensive consumer-facing businesses, with sophisticated understanding of earn/redemption workflows, compliance, and fraud/losses
• Deep experience defining partner integration strategies and operating models that balance technical feasibility, compliance, and business objectives
• Global and multi-market experience across geographies, currencies, and regulatory environments
• Ability to articulate a clear, compelling vision and strategy and rally cross-functional teams around it
• Exceptional prioritization and decision-making skills, with the ability to make tradeoffs and communicate rationale to stakeholders at all levels
• Strong cross-functional and cross-organizational leadership skills, aligning business, technical, operational, and external partners around shared outcomes
Preferred:
• Technical background in multi-currency incentives processing & loyalty operations
• Experience scaling loyalty programs internationally

Reasonable Accommodations: We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations throughout the recruitment process for applicants with disabilities. If you need assistance, or an accommodation, please let your recruiter know once you are contacted about a role.
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.
