Own Airbnb's AI adoption strategy across non-technical functions and hold them accountable for measurable business outcomes.
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 Community You Will Join:
We are looking for a Senior Manager to lead BizTech Enablement and Innovation (BEI), BizTech's solutions partner to the rest of the company. BEI works with Finance, Legal, People, Marketing, Global Operations, Policy and Communications, Design, and other non-technical functions to understand how they work, turn their problems into working solutions, and make sure employees know about and adopt the technology BizTech provides. The team also brings what it learns back to BizTech product teams and vendors to shape their roadmaps. You will report to the Director, Tech Foundations.
The Difference You Will Make:
This is a strategic leadership role within a large business unit. For the next 18 months, the team's focus is AI. You will own the company's approach to AI adoption and impact outside of Engineering, set the vision for AI-enabled work, hold functions accountable to measurable outcomes, and serve as BizTech's primary partner to E-Team leaders on AI transformation.
More broadly, you will lead how Airbnb's non-technical functions discover, adopt, and get value from business technology. That covers quick consultations and fast-track solutions, go-to-market for new BizTech services, and building or buying new solutions where existing tools fall short. In the near term, you will define where Airbnb should be on AI-enabled work in two years, build the team and partnerships to get there, and make the trade-offs required to deliver it.
Success in this role is measured in business outcomes, not tool rollouts: functions that have redesigned their work around technology and AI, defined their own impact metrics, and can show the efficiency and quality gains, supported by a simpler tool landscape with fewer duplicate and unsupported tools.
A Typical Day:
Set strategy and vision
Drive executive alignment and function-level accountability
