About The Role
As a Community Relationship Manager for Airbnb, you will be focused on recruiting, onboarding, and supporting engaged Airbnb hosts in the UK and Northern Europe as part of the Community Leaders programme. The Community Leaders are hosts who have volunteered to bring hosts in their area together in a local Host Club (focused around a dedicated host community platform) to collaborate, share, and collectively grow with Airbnb.
You will be working with the Senior Community Relationship Manager to support a group of ~100 Leaders, dedicated to answering their questions and addressing their concerns. You will support the Host Community by managing Host Clubs of local Airbnb hosts, providing them with content and ideas to increase engagement, optimising and educating hosts. You will be responsible for gathering host insights and helping cascade these to other teams in order to make the right improvements to the Airbnb product and platform.
