Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • This is a highly strategic, senior role with a mandate to define and build a new product area from the ground up
  • You will own the full stack of the business host payout experience -- both in-product (app and web) and through our API and developer platform -- and will be responsible for developing net-new financial management products
  • You will partner with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, data scientists, and field operations to build and scale these capabilities
  • You will also work closely with external enterprise partners and business host stakeholders to deeply understand their needs and ensure the products we build drive real business impact.
  • Payout instrument management flows: enabling business hosts to set up, manage, and optimize payout methods across multiple accounts and currencies
  • Host team management flows: tools and permissions that allow business hosts to delegate access and manage large internal teams operating across their Airbnb accounts
  • Earnings reconciliation flows: comprehensive reporting and reconciliation capabilities designed to meet the accounting and financial operations needs of large-scale hosts
  • New financial services offerings: identifying and building value-added financial products and services tailored to the unique needs of business hosts.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience building payments or financial products in a product management role, with a track record of owning strategy, roadmap, and execution
  • Demonstrated experience building enterprise or B2B products for large business customers, including deep understanding of enterprise needs and workflows
  • Experience building or managing API-based products and developer-facing platforms, with the ability to engage credibly with engineering teams and external developer partners
  • Global and multi-market experience: track record of building products that serve customers across multiple geographies, currencies, and regulatory environments
  • Ability to articulate a clear, compelling vision and strategy for a product area and rally cross-functional teams around it
  • Exceptional prioritization and decision-making skills: given competing needs and limited resources, able to make clear tradeoffs and communicate rationale to stakeholders at all levels
  • Ability to build strong partnerships inside and outside the Product organization, including with operations, compliance, finance, legal, and external enterprise
  • Preferred Qualifications:
  • Technical background: prior experience as an engineer, data scientist, or in payment operations is a strong plus
  • Experience with global payout methods, disbursement networks, or treasury management products
  • Experience with financial services product development, including financial reporting, reconciliation, or accounting workflow tooling for business customers
  • Experience at a consumer marketplace or two-sided platform with both B2B and B2C product surface areas
  • Demonstrated ability to successfully scale products from 0>1, including building new product areas in ambiguous environments.
Benefits
  • This role may also be eligible for bonus, equity, benefits, and Employee Travel Credits.
