The Difference You Will Make

As Recruiting Manager, Global Operations, you will lead a team of recruiters responsible for hiring across Airbnb's global operations functions, while also personally owning and running complex, senior-level searches yourself.

You bring a consultative approach, strong people leadership instincts, and deep operational acumen, and you're equally comfortable setting strategy for your team as you are rolling up your sleeves to run a search end-to-end. You are someone who thrives in ambiguity, builds with rigor, and holds both your team and your stakeholders to a high bar. This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution, and you will be expected to do both well.
