Position Summary & Responsibilities

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:

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.

That growth has outpaced our capacity to run it: business reporting, program delivery and the cross-functional roadmap currently sit with one person alongside the regional strategy agenda. We are building a dedicated capability to own how Asia operates and how Asia delivers, and we want you at the centre of it.

You own the Asia business reporting and operating cadence, and you lead the delivery of the region's growth levers and its cross-functional roadmap.

This is deliberately an ownership role in insights and execution, distinct from the roles around it. Countries own their market plans and outcomes, growth marketing, product and merchandising teams build the platforms, and Strategic
