Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 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:

Our Product Managers imagine the ideal experience for our community and work backwards, creating innovative products that delight our guests and Hosts. They deeply understand the needs of our users and translate these into a strategy that combines strong product thinking and deep research. They partner with talented cross-functional team members across engineering, design, operations, data science, and more, leading teams to execute a shared vision. They are incredibly detail-oriented and hands on.

  The Difference You Will Make:

During this 24-month rotational program, you will be part of the team responsible for product roadmaps and launches at Airbnb. You will  learn on the job to help drive specific feature/s that are part of every launch and determine how they are communicated to the external world. You work with teams responsible for the success of Airbnb products throughout their life cycle — from concept to release. And your cross-functional work ensures a consistent product voice across all the products being developed at Airbnb.

  Rotation/immersion Program goals: 

• Build the world’s best Product Marketing team
• Define the Airbnb Way and develop an internal ability to teach through immersion on real-world projects and hands-on mentorship
• Talent Retention - Provide career development and growth opportunities by exposing participants to different topics and facets of the organization to discover the best alignment between their interests, skills, and company needs.

  Program Structure

Each rotation varies in length depending on the project, but generally lasts between 6 to 8 months. This is a rotational program of 24 months. After the 24 months ends, you are free to apply to other open roles at Airbnb, but placement in another role is not guaranteed.  
• Throughout the entire program, a Director is assigned as a mentor to provide guidance and support in addition to a manager that the person will work with for the duration of the rotation.
