Senior Manager, Intelligence & Advocacy

The posting, as Airbnb wrote it

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

Fraud & Safety Delivery (FSD) is at the heart of keeping Airbnb safe for the millions of hosts and guests who trust our platform every day. As part of Global Operations, FSD investigates and enforces on fraud and safety cases across the full user lifecycle, from account creation to post-stay, leveraging a team of internal and partner agents operating 24/7 across the globe.

The Intelligence & Advocacy team is FSD’s proactive intelligence and regional advocacy function. Fraud Intelligence hunts emerging threats before they scale, turning raw signals into platform defenses faster than bad actors can adapt. Global Trust Advocacy ensures that what works globally actually works locally, owning regional legal requirements, cultural nuances, and compliance considerations across APAC, EMEA, and LATAM. Together, this team is why Airbnb stays ahead of novel fraud, and why global strategies hold up in every market.

The Difference You Will Make

As the Senior Manager, Intelligence & Advocacy, you'll lead two teams: the Fraud Intelligence (FRINT) team and the Global Trust Advocacy (GTA) team. You'll sit on the FSD leadership team and report directly to the Director of Fraud and Safety Investigations.

These two teams share a common purpose: staying ahead of what's coming and making sure Fraud & Safety Operations' (FSO's) strategies actually work in the real world. FRINT finds fraud before it scales. GTA ensures global playbooks land in every market, without breaking local policy, compliance, or cultural context.

You'll own three outcomes for the org

• Proactive intelligence: Lead a team that identifies and disrupts novel fraud threats before they scale, turning raw signals into platform defenses faster than bad actors can adapt.
• Regional compliance and advocacy: Understand regional legal requirements, local compliance, and cultural nuances across FSO queues, ensuring enforcement is locally appropriate and globally consistent.
• Global-to-local translation: Ensure that every global playbook, product launch, and policy built lands cleanly in local markets, without creating compliance risk or impacting local user experience.

A Note on Recruiting Scams: Scammers sometimes pose as Airbnb recruiters to get money or personal information from candidates. A few things that will always be true for Airbnb’s hiring process: our open roles are posted on Airbnb’s Career’s Page at careers.airbnb.com, and our recruiters correspond only from @ airbnb.com or @ ext.airbnb.com email addresses. Our recruiters will never ask for your Social Security number, bank account details, passport, or payment app information while you are interviewing. We’ll also never ask you to pay a fee, send money, deposit or cash a check, or purchase work-related equipment (such as a company laptop) during the interview process. We encourage candidates to remain vigilant of these recruiting scams and not share sensitive information if you do not believe an individual is actually affiliated with Airbnb.
