<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><strong>The Community You Will Join:</strong></p>

<p>Our Product Marketing team imagines the ideal experience for our community and works backwards, creating innovative products that delight our guests and hosts. They deeply understand the needs of our users and translate these into a product 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, hands on and excellent communicators, capable of crafting compelling stories for both internal and external audiences. </p>

<p><strong>The Difference You Will Make:</strong></p>

<p>The International Product Marketing team is part of the worldwide Product Marketing team and we are looking for entrepreneurial product experts who are ready to jump in, roll their sleeves up and integrate with local teams, while maintaining close alignment with the global organization. This role will help build out the new functional area outside of the US and will be instrumental in shaping the organization as it evolves.

<p>As the Product Manager based in our EMEA region, you will report to the Product Marketing Director for International Markets. You will play a pivotal role in understanding the needs, pain points, and wants  of users and translate those insights into innovative product features, capabilities and marketing strategies. The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of the travel industry at a market and broader regional level, and have a proven track record of driving product innovation. You will collaborate with the global business and country teams to develop partnerships that accelerate existing and new businesses. You will drive features in major releases and for test and learn pilots, after having successfully championed for customization and features for your target country/region. You will also determine how they are communicated to the public and the media in your region in partnership with the communications and marketing teams. You are responsible for the success of Airbnb products throughout their life cycle — from concept to release.
