Senior Manager, Technical Brand & Content

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

Airbnb’s mission is to create a world where people can Belong Anywhere. As we work to achieve that mission, our cross functional Tech Operations and Programs team helps enable Tech organizations to execute and deliver on high impact programs and initiatives.

The Difference You Will Make

You will decide what the engineering world knows about Airbnb.

• Our engineers solve hard problems at scale across infrastructure, data, and applied AI — and they write about that work well. Almost none of the engineers we'd most like to hire have ever seen it.
• You'll change that, and the change is measurable. A year in, senior candidates should arrive already able to describe our technical work accurately, because they found it before we found them. Our engineers should be recognised names in their fields rather than anonymous authors. Airbnb should be the source people cite on at least one technical domain. And the strongest engineers in the market should have a reason to choose us that has nothing to do with the offer.
• That is a rare kind of impact for this discipline. Most tech brand roles are asked to manufacture credibility that isn't there. Here the engineering is genuinely strong and already documented — the gap is that it doesn't travel. You'd be building the function that closes it, with real autonomy, very little inherited process, and direct access to engineering leaders and our CTO.

A Typical Day

• Own the editorial engine. Run the Airbnb Tech Blog end to end: sourcing topics from teams, coaching engineer-authors, editing to a high bar, and moving posts through legal, security and comms review without letting them stall. Set and hold a publishing rhythm the org can rely on.
• Find the cross-team narratives. Our biggest gap is that individually strong posts never add up to a story. You'll work across orgs to identify the themes that connect work from multiple teams, and publish them as connected sets — while each domain keeps publishing in depth for its own specialists.
• Build our voices. Help our engineers and technical leaders develop genuine public presence: bylines, talks, speaker coaching, and a pipeline of new voices. This includes partnering closely with our CTO to establish his public technical presence.
• Own distribution. Establish our canonical home on an Airbnb-owned domain, stand up the surfaces we're missing including video, and decide what our social channels are for. Publishing well and distributing poorly is the pattern we're here to break.
• Run our external presence. Set conference and event strategy — where we speak, where w

Reasonable Accommodations: We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations throughout the recruitment process for applicants with disabilities. If you need assistance, or an accommodation, please let your recruiter know once you are contacted about a role.

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.
