Join Airbnb as a Policy Manager to handle complex escalations, provide policy analysis, and improve community policies. Leverage AI tools and collaborate across teams to enhance operational efficiency.
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.
A Typical Day
- Drive complicated escalations and issues towards a solution
- Advise our operations teams on cases where there are policy gaps to arrive at a solution that is guided by Airbnb’s principles and values
- Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders across the business including but not limited to the Global Operations, Supply, Public Policy, Legal, Product, Trust and Safety, Communications and Partnerships
- Build AI-assisted detection of repeat policy questions and gray areas, turning consult volume into a standing signal to help drive trainings and policy clarifications
- Query, join, and visualize operational data to evaluate policy performance and pressure-test policy improvement recommendations before they reach leadership
- Design and ship workflows that reduce avoidable consults, cut handling time on the rest, and measure the gain
- Exercise final judgment on ambiguous, high-exposure escalations, and make the reasoning exceptionally clear to Legal, Ops, and executives
