The Community You Will Join:
Airbnb is a vision and mission driven company. Our Platform Managers embody this culture and mindset. Platform Managers here imagine the ideal end state for our community first (guests and Hosts) and work backwards from it, challenging all current assumptions. They champion a winning strategy and leverage actionable metrics to ensure we are making progress against it. They partner with talented cross-functional team members (across Engineering, Design, Data Science, etc.) and lead teams to execute upon a shared vision. They are incredibly hands on and are not afraid to roll up their sleeves to get the right outcome for our community. We are looking for leaders who want to join us in this journey to accomplish our mission of creating belonging everywhere.
The Airbnb Community Support (CS) team is a global business unit that provides support to our Community of millions of Hosts and guests who take trips and join experiences around the world every year. Within CS, the Support Platform team is responsible for the products and technology that enables intelligent, scalable and exceptional service experiences.
The Difference You Will Make:
One of the essential pillars of a high quality experience on Airbnb comes from our frontline agents, and the teams that support them. We believe service is a major differentiator, driving Airbnb’s global success and growth. We are building a technology platform that supports Airbnb as it scales, delivering an exceptional level of customer service.
As a Platform Manager on the CSP team, you will be responsible for the products, tooling, and platforms that are used by the thousands of globally distributed agents, and the teams that support them, enabling the delivery of world class service.

Host a meeting with a software vendor to assess their solutions in build vs. buy evaluation.
Participate in a shadowing session with our frontline operations service agents and supervisors. Gather feedback on product features, identify pain points and gain insights into real-world usage.
Attend a design review session with the Design, Research and Engineering teams to assess the scalability and effectiveness of solution designs.
Partner with Analytics to prepare an update on the impact of recent releases for the upcoming quarterly business review, ensuring senior leadership is informed of progress and results.
Facilitate a bug root cause session with Engineering and QA to identify patterns and collaboratively work toward long-term solutions to prevent recurring issues.
Your Expertise:
8+ years of product management experience, preferably in a Customer Service / Operations environment.
Proven ability to deliver scalable platform capabilities that meet diverse business needs, enabling multiple teams to provide exceptional service experiences.
Extensive experience in both building custom solutions and integrating third-party products and technologies.
