The Community You Will Join:

Airbnb is a vision and mission driven company. Our Leads embody this culture and mindset.

They champion a winning strategy and leverage actionable  metrics to ensure we are making progress against it. They partner with talented cross-functional team members (across engineering, design, data science, etc.) and lead teams to execute upon a shared vision.
