Senior Growth & Operations Manager, EMEA
Senior Growth & Operations Manager, EMEA
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.
The Community You Will Join
Our goal is to accelerate EMEA growth by enabling country teams to execute local growth plans—with a primary focus on driving demand. We work closely with marketing, growth marketing, product, communications, data science, and policy at both central and local levels to develop scalable, holistic programs across markets.
The Difference You Will Make
As a Senior Growth & Operations Manager, EMEA, you will work with both Country and EMEA leadership to develop and execute growth initiatives to accelerate Airbnb’s business in the region.
Your attention to detail, analytical mindset, organisational and communication skills will all ensure your success. You love to work on multiple priorities, run complex workstreams in parallel, and thrive in fast-paced, ever-changing environments. You want a role where you’ll both define strategies and flawlessly execute them. You’re equally comfortable presenting to leadership and managing the operational details of projects.
This role is based in London, Berlin, or Barcelona (hybrid: 2 days per week in the office), and is not eligible for relocation support.
