Airbnb's various functional teams are committed to embodying the company's core values and innovative spirit, and leading the industry as a 21st century company. In the same vein, the Public Policy Team aims to achieve the goal by working closely with various central and local governments, legislature and law-makers, regulators and law-enforcement agencies, public entities, industry associations, research institutions and academia, user communities, as well as the broader public, to introduce them to the numerous benefits of sharing/collaborative economy exemplified by Airbnb and its corporate values. The team highlights the significant socio-economic contributions our business makes to the nation and local communities, and showcase best practices from around the world.
On one hand, we want policy-makers to understand the regulatory challenges that affect our host communities and find models that are good for cities/towns and their inhabitants. On the other hand, we want to help our societies embrace an innovative, collaborative economy, where we can all belong. Belonging to a wider regional policy department, we are engaged in multiple conversations and negotiations with governments, and our experienced colleagues and network of activists across the region engage not only governments at local, regional and national levels directly but also use effective policy strategies that actively involve our community and thought partners in making the case for fair, progressive home-sharing rules, and innovative approaches to local experiences. We structure our work in local campaign pods, drawing on a wide range of policy tools and campaign disciplines - from detailed policy work, through high-impact strategic partnerships, proactive policy media engagements, community organizing, creative digital tactics and initiatives, informative polling, innovative data science and research, and persuasive policy narratives and messages.
The Difference You Will Make:
The main role of the Public Policy Manager is to support the Public Policy lead with the daily operations to ensure the conception and execution of successful policy campaigns. The Public Policy Manager will draft, develop and execute integrated tactical/ground-level policy engagement plans and projects to attain key policy objectives by utilizing various in-person and digital tools to engage key stakeholders toward specific policy and political goals in response to active or developing legislation or regulation. The scope of work goes much further as an important team partner who will also help devise and establish overarching strategic aspects of all campaigns and policy decisions alongside the team lead.
As a Public Policy Manager, you must be organized, detail- and solutions-oriented. You are also able to see the big picture and prioritize projects strategically when needed, while understanding how to synthesize necessary information/data that should be escalated to leadership. You should have a strong work ethic and excellent communication skills, and an ability to take big ideas and translate them into policy with a positive and creative outlook.
