Job description

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’re looking for people who know and use Airbnb and believe in what we’re trying to accomplish. Airbnb is a marketplace that connects guests and hosts, and Payments is central to creating the trust that makes every transaction possible. The Platform team plays the role of conductor, leveraging AI prototyping to bring together engineers, designers, and data scientists to build great product experiences. Our Payments Platform Managers define and execute roadmaps for their product areas, translating organizational priorities into clear plans, requirements, and measurable outcomes. The Difference You Will Make: We are building foundational platform capabilities that require expertise and experience with digital wallets and identity services, and how they interact with payment services for our guests and hosts across the world. The Senior Platform Manager, Accounts will help shape the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Payment Accounts area, and lead execution of cross-functional initiatives with partner teams across Payments, Trust, Guest & Host, and Compliance.

Ongoing transparency and management of various business related information and points of contact to reduce downstream friction or unnecessary account restrictions.

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.
