About the position
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 Airbnb Hotels organization, which includes HotelTonight, is a fun, entrepreneurial, start-up team where you can have outsized impact. Simplicity is at the core of our products. We pride ourselves on delivering the smoothest and most intuitive hotel booking experience. For hotels, we make it easy to drive incremental bookings so they can focus on the craft of hosting.
