About the Role
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 PM team at Airbnb is building an incubation machine to rapidly test and launch new business ideas that extend Airbnb beyond its core stays offering.
Responsibilities
- Define and drive the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for multiple incubation tracks simultaneously.
- Translate new business ideas and hypotheses into clear MVP scopes, leveraging the Guest App’s configurable platform components wherever possible to minimize engineering investment.
- Design and run pilots with clearly defined success criteria and measurable OKRs; synthesize learnings quickly and make data-driven graduate/expand/stop recommendations.
- Build strong working relationships with business development, partnerships, and external partners to ensure new offerings integrate seamlessly into the guest experience.
- Craft compelling product narratives for new incubations — for internal leadership alignment and for external launch communications.
- Develop and maintain a prioritization framework that balances multiple concurrent incubation tracks against core product demands.
- Foster open communication and curiosity across a scrappy, fast-moving team.
- Operate with speed and quality, shipping features, learning, and iterating with high throughput.
Requirements
- 10+ years of consumer product management experience.
- Track record of taking 0→1 product ideas through incubation, piloting, and graduation to scaled products — at a consumer internet company, marketplace, or equivalent.
- Strong business acumen: ability to rapidly assess business viability, size opportunities, and translate loosely-defined hypotheses into testable MVP scopes.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity; able to structure new problem spaces into actionable roadmaps with minimal process.
- Experience managing multiple concurrent workstreams with competing priorities and tight timelines.
- Excellent cross-functional collaboration and communication skills across business, partnerships, engineering, design, and data science.
- Experience developing product narratives and working with marketing and communications to bring new offerings to market.
- Comfortable doing hands-on individual contributor product work and mastering the details in a scrappy environment.
- Demonstrated curiosity and point of view on incorporating AI tools into the product workflow.
