NOTE: This role is hybrid and will require the candidate to be based in San Francisco Bay area. The successful candidate will be expected to work from the San Francisco office at least 2-3 days per week. The Community You Will Join: Research has been part of Airbnb from the beginning, ever since Paul Graham told the Airbnb founders, "go to your users." As designers, the founders embraced this advice and got on a plane to meet with Airbnb hosts that very weekend. Since those early days, the value of research has been baked into Airbnb’s product culture. With over 5 million hosts and 2 billion global arrivals, payments are crucial to the experience. Every time a guest books or a host gets paid across 190 countries, they rely on a seamless system. When it works, it drives loyalty; when it fails, it costs bookings—making research in this space critical to our business and our mission of belonging. The Difference You Will Make: As a Staff UX Researcher on Payments, you will be the voice of this community. In this mixed-methods role, you will combine behavioral insights with quantitative data to navigate ambiguity and global complexity.

The Community you will join: The Chief Business Officer (CBO) organization drives Airbnb's growth and expansion around the world — commercializing our new and existing businesses and executing our global strategy in the market. The Global Markets team sits within CBO and makes sure Airbnb is locally relevant everywhere we operate, helping regions plan and execute growth across supply, demand, and the surfaces our communities use. Local growth levers are one of the fastest-growing parts of that toolkit — guest incentives, host-funded promotions, engagement and CRM, country partnerships, and promotional merchandising. Over the past year we've taken these from pilots to scaled programs including incentives, host-funded promotions and promotional-merchandising. That momentum has outpaced our operating model — execution is spread across regional pods, central growth marketing, product, merchandising, and finance, with parallel roadmaps and no single source of truth. We're building a dedicated program management capability to bring it all together, and we want you at the center of it. The difference you will make: This role requires candidates to be based in San Francisco. This role is not expected to be eligible for relocation support. As the Program Operations Lead for Growth Levers, you own the operating system that turns our fast-growing portfolio of levers into coordinated, on-time execution.

The Community You Will Join: Policy & Communications is at the heart of how Airbnb works with communities and stakeholders around the world.

The Difference You Will Make: The position offers an opportunity to provide meaningful insights both within Airbnb and to communities across the world. As a result, the role requires working with cross-functional partners throughout the organization (policy/comms, business, legal, finance, data science), as well as external partners outside of Airbnb (experts, academics, policy-makers, media). Candidates should be able to navigate these environments, operating independently and driving their own agenda, but must also work well with partners. A teamwork mentality and “no task too big or too small” attitude is key. The scope of work includes quantitative analysis of high-impact, high-visibility topics including regulation, housing, tourism, economic development/impact, and taxes. Because of this visibility, translation of complex analyses into accessible and scalable resources is key. You will not only be a trusted data expert on the team, but also a storyteller.

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.
