Job description

<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">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.</span></p></div><p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt;"><strong>The Community You Will Join:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt;">Our Luxe Supply Team is growing and we want you to be part of it! Airbnb Luxe is the premier tier of Airbnb, a vetted and curated collection of Airbnb homes that meet our high standards on design and quality. We partner with the world's most exceptional hosts to deliver high quality experiences for our guests.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The Difference You will Make:</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">As a Senior Market Manager, Luxe, 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&nbsp; deep knowledge of luxury real estate and travel landscape with a consultative, relationship-first approach to acquisition and account management.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">You will work with Luxe Guest Services, Content &amp; 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.</span></p>

Our recruiters will never ask for your Social Security number, bank account details, passport, or payment app information while you are interviewing.&nbsp; We’ll also never ask you to pay a fee, send money, deposit or cash a check, or purchase work-related equipment (such as a company laptop) during the interview process. We encourage candidates to remain vigilant of these recruiting scams and not share sensitive information if you do not believe an individual is actually affiliated with Airbnb.</span></p>
