The Community You Will Join:
The Hosting Geos Team ensures that Airbnb is locally relevant and serves the needs of our global hosts and guests, helping regions more efficiently plan and execute growth strategies across Hosting in a way that will resonate with our communities.
The Difference You Will Make:
In this position you will lead a team of market managers and be responsible for the end-to-end strategy for optimising supply, host quality, host community, account management and optimization in the assigned markets.
