Product Manager

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.

• Develop and maintain a product vision, strategy, and roadmap for People to Meet across both the guest and host journeys.
• Synthesize guest, host, and partner feedback and translate it into product features and positioning — from profiles and "who's going" to conversation starters, messaging, and post-event connection.
• Develop the public-facing messaging and narrative for People to Meet, and land the value proposition with guests, hosts, and the media.
• Align product teams and cross-functional partners across marketing, communications, research, and PMM.
• Grow and shape the supply of social formats — partnering with hosts and creators to design repeatable, high-quality experiences that reliably foster connection.
• Own the guest connection experience end to end (before, during, and after the event), balancing the drive to scale with the social intimacy that makes these formats work.
• Champion trust, safety, and privacy as first-class product responsibilities in every in-person connection we enable.
• Ensure the existing storefront is healthy and the quality bar is high across People to Meet listings.
• Role model behaviors that encourage open communication and curiosity.
• Make judgements and prioritization decisions that are in the best interests of our users.

• Experience creating product messaging and positioning and delivering it to customers and the media.
• Demonstrated inbound and subject matter expertise, ideally in consumer social, community, events, or marketplace businesses.
• Background building social or community products — hands-on experience with profiles and identity, matching and discovery, messaging, and the mechanics that turn first meetings into lasting connections.
• Fluency in two-sided marketplace dynamics — bootstrapping supply and demand in a new category, navigating cold-start, and designing for network effects and repeat engagement.
• Trust & safety and privacy by design — a genuine understanding of what it takes to bring strangers together safely in the real world, and comfort treating that as a core product surface rather than an afterthought.
• Requirements gathering & documentation — turning ambiguous problems into clear specs that align eng, design, research, and partners.
• Able to build compelling customer-focused stories and work with marketing and communications partners to bring them to life.
• Excited to build a new category that helps people make real connections in the real world.
• Demonstrated track record of product leadership in a cross-functional environment.

• Enjoys doing individual contributor product and product marketing work and staying in the details.
• Strong ability and desire to travel frequently, including domestic and international.

• Due to the nature of this position, there is a strong preference for the successful applicant to be based in San Francisco.
