Product Manager, Incubations

<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><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;"><strong>The Community You Will Join:&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">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.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;"><strong>The Difference You Will Make:</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The PM team at Airbnb is building an incubation machine to rapidly test and launch new business ideas that extend Airbnb beyond its core stays offering.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We are seeking an exceptional product manager to drive this incubation engine — partnering closely with business, partnerships, engineering, and design to take new ideas from concept to validated MVP. In this role, you will own product work across multiple incubation tracks simultaneously, designing and piloting minimum viable experiences that test key business hypotheses. You will work within a modular platform of configurable components for most incubations, and partner with engineering and design for deeper integrations.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;"><strong>A Typical Day:&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Define and drive the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for multiple incubation tracks simultaneously.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Translate new business ideas and hypotheses into clear MVP scopes, leveraging the Guest App’s configurable platform components wherever possible to minimize engineering investment.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Design and run pilots with clearly defined success criteria and measurable OKRs; synthesize learnings quickly and make data-driven graduate/expand/stop recommendations.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Build strong working relationships with business development, partnerships, and external partners to ensure new offerings integrate seamlessly into the guest experience.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Craft compelling product narratives for new incubations — for internal leadership alignment and for external launch communications.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Develop and maintain a prioritization framework that balances multiple concurrent incubation tracks against core product demands.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Foster open communication and curiosity across a scrappy, fast-moving team.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Operate with speed and quality, shipping features, learning, and iterating with high throughput.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Your Expertise:</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">10+ years of consumer product management experience.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Track record of taking 0→1 product ideas through incubation, piloting, and graduation to scaled products — at a consumer internet company, marketplace, or equivalent.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Strong business acumen: ability to rapidly assess business viability, size opportunities, and translate loosely-defined hypotheses into testable MVP scopes.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Comfort operating in ambiguity; able to structure new problem spaces into actionable roadmaps with minimal process.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Experience managing multiple concurrent workstreams with competing priorities and tight timelines.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Excellent cross-functional collaboration and communication skills across business, partnerships, engineering, design, and data science.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Experience developing product narratives and working with marketing and communications to bring new offerings to market.</span></li> <li style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: arial
