Summary Generated by Built In

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.

  • Ensure Customer Support proactively and efficiently supports new business initiatives such as Hotels on Airbnb, Experiences, and other partnerships
  • Monitor Customer Support industry trends and emerging technologies, including AI in customer service, to identify risks and opportunities
  • Own core financial planning for CS, including forecast accuracy, the annual planning process, and long range planning

Your Expertise:

  • 9+ years in strategic finance, investment banking, or management consulting, ideally with meaningful exposure to customer support or operations at enterprise scale
  • Resilient under pressure, with a track record of prioritizing and delivering in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
  • Executive presence and exceptional communication skills; proven ability to translate operational concepts into clear financial insights and influence senior stakeholders
  • Superb financial modeling skills; comfortable building frameworks from scratch, stress-testing assumptions, and sizing complex opportunities with incomplete data
  • Familiarity with SQL or willingness to learn; able to independently extract, manipulate, and analyze large datasets and develop strategic narratives for an executive audience
