Product Manager, Airbnb for Real Estate - remote

Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 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 Airbnb for Real Estate team (A4RE) is an entrepreneurial group within Airbnb partnering with Real Estate owners and operators of large multi-family buildings to normalize hosting across the rental industry. By showcasing their buildings on the Airbnb-friendly Apartments marketplace, our partners differentiate their properties and attract prospective resident leads.

Residents who live in Airbnb-friendly Apartment buildings have the unique opportunity to list their place on Airbnb. This can help lower their cost of living or provide renters with the flexibility to earn money while they travel. By sharing in these earnings, our real estate partners generate a new source of incremental revenue.

We move fast but are thoughtful in our approach. We’re passionate about working with our partners and hosts to change an entire industry.  We are looking for people that want to collaborate with us to change the way people live!
