Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 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.
About the Role
As a Luxe Senior Market Manager, you will drive supply growth for Airbnb Luxe in your assigned geographies — acquiring new listings and cultivating host relationships that define Luxe. You will serve as the on-the-ground market expert, combining deep knowledge of luxury real estate and travel landscape with a consultative, relationship-first approach to acquisition and account management.
You will work with Luxe Guest Services, Content & Quality, and cross-functional teams to ensure every home meets Airbnb Luxe's standards. This role is equally focused on strategic growth and day-to-day excellence - you'll be equally comfortable prospecting net-new hosts, conducting business reviews, and rolling up your sleeves to solve host challenges.
