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. Every day, hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.
The Airbnb Hotels team is a fast-growing, entrepreneurial group leading Airbnb’s expansion into the hotel sector. We combine the simplicity, product excellence and guest-centered ethos that define Airbnb with a mission to create an intuitive hotel booking experience for guests while helping hotel partners drive incremental bookings.
Our goal is to help more people discover high-quality hotels while creating meaningful value for both guests and our hotel partners.
The Difference You Will MakeAs an Enterprise Account Operations Associate, you will play a key role in supporting the Enterprise Account Management team and the day-to-day operations of an evolving portfolio of hotel groups across the globe.
You will help design and execute operational processes that enable us to onboard, launch and support enterprise hotel partners at scale. This includes hotel group onboarding and rollout, portfolio-level supply optimisation, platform education, reporting and strategic initiatives that drive partner success.
The ideal candidate will bring experience in:
- Working with large datasets, using data to identify trends, opportunities and operational issues, and translating insights into action.
- Building, rolling out and improving processes and workflows, including process creation or taking an existing process and making it more efficient, scalable and effective.
- Operating in ambiguity, where processes may still be evolving and there isn't always an established playbook or clear answer.
- Project and programme execution, coordinating multiple workstreams, priorities and dependencies to deliver against business objectives.
- Stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration, working effectively across internal teams and external partners to drive alignment and execution.
- Taking ownership and making recommendations, identifying what needs to change and proactively proposing solutions rather than waiting for direction.
This is a fast-moving environment where processes are still being built and refined. You may not always be handed a playbook, and when one exists, it may be a V1 that needs to evolve.
We are looking for someone who is comfortable navigating ambiguity, asking the right questions and identifying better ways of working. You will be expected to take ownership, use sound judgement and proactively recommend solutions rather than simply execute an existing process.
You will work closely with hotel group headquarters and regional stakeholders, as well as cross-functional teams across Airbnb, making strong stakeholder management and collaboration critical to success.

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.
