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 Product Managers imagine the ideal experience for our community and work backwards, creating innovative products that delight our guests and hosts. They deeply understand the needs of our users and translate these into a 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 and hands on. The Difference You Will Make: Airbnb is seeking an exceptional product manager to reimagine how guests search on Airbnb. Search is the front door to the entire guest experience — the moment someone tells us what they want and we have to understand it, then show them the right options in the right order. Today that means query understanding, filtering, and ranking. Tomorrow it means next-generation AI capabilities that let guests search more naturally, get better matches with less effort, and trust that Airbnb understood what they were actually looking for. In this role, you will own the vision and roadmap for the future of search at Airbnb — pushing beyond keyword and filter-based search toward more intelligent, conversational, and personalized ways for guests to find their perfect stay. You'll partner closely with engineering, design, and data science teams to bring new AI-powered search capabilities from concept to guests. This is a high-visibility role building one of the most consequential surfaces in the guest experience, and will regularly interface with senior engineering and leade
