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: 

Airbnb's Reputation team operates across all of Airbnb’s stakeholder network, including governments at various levels, parliamentarians and policymakers, regulators and law enforcement agencies, public entities, industry associations, research institutions and academia, host and guest communities, as well as the broader public.

It aims to introduce them to the numerous benefits of the home sharing economy exemplified by Airbnb and its corporate values, and highlights the socio-economic contributions our business makes to local communities. We operate proactively and reactively, building and amplifying solutions that ensure our host community can thrive.

The global Reputation team helps positively shape the conversation through targeted initiatives and content on Airbnb’s role in broader society. 

We build and design curated multi-channel campaigns through organic and paid channels to win over our external stakeholders, experiment with new ways to tell the Airbnb story more effectively and creatively, and partner and facilitate closely with internal teams, especially with Marketing, Public Policy, Communications and Product, to execute on and achieve a shared vision.
