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: 

The AirCover team is charged with ideating, building, launching, and managing the AirCover business inside of Airbnb. We have a huge responsibility to our community of Hosts and guests to be there when things don’t go exactly as planned with their reservations. We have a lot of work to do in the coming years and we are looking for someone who will help us manage all of the things that need to be done to deliver best-in-class services to our community.

The Difference You Will Make:

Upon coming onboard, you will play a critical role in designing our SIU/fraud process for our Claims team.  This position will look end to end at our customer journey and design best practices including product and workflow enhancements.   This role is cross-functional in nature and you will work closely with many different stakeholders to innovate and change the way we manage our fraud process.   

You are responsible for being the voice of the customer and will reflect that voice in decision making and the service design work you’ll do.  You will be responsible for partnering closely with our Operations team to understand the way things are done today, where there is room for improvement and then developing ways to incorporate the feedback into the ways of working.   You will also be partnering with other fraud teams across the organization to learn and help create a more integrated fraud program.  As the role evolves, you will expand beyond just fraud and help support all AirCover products in a similar capacity.  

You will be responsible for driving results for the teams you support and in the future may have a team that you’ll be responsible for leading and driving results.  

You will also be responsible for doing data analysis and reporting on the impacts of the work you do.  You will be responsible for presenting your work regularly in front of leadership so an ability to transform complex information into easily digestible storytelling is key.

• Track and measure product implementation and report out on the results. 
• Provide support in doing after action reviews and monitoring the success or shortcomings of product launches and changes. 
• Conduct research on industry best practices and propose necessary updates as a result of your learnings
• Work in partnership with the Service Design and Innovation Manager and other key stakeholders to develop the SIU/fraud roadmap
