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 Business Technology (Biztech) organization sits at the heart of how we scale our internal operations to match the pace and ambition of our products. Within Biztech, the Finance Accounting Platform team owns the core finance accounting platform — the system that records, processes, and reports the financial lifecycle of every product Airbnb offers to the world. As a Senior Platform Manager on this team, you will be embedded in a rich, cross-functional community spanning the full breadth of Airbnb’s business. You’ll partner daily with Product and Platform Managers across Payments, Trust, Guest & Host, Pricing, Insurance, Hotels, and Customer Service — as well as Finance stakeholders from Revenue Controllership, Treasury, Tax, Payments Legal, Consolidation, Collections, and Cash. You’ll work closely with Data Engineers and Oracle Applications teams to bring platform solutions to life, and collaborate with FP&A and Business Unit teams who depend on the data your platform produces. This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of finance, product, and engineering — and who finds energy in being the connective tissue across a large, diverse, and highly capable community. The Difference You Will Make: You will be the strategic and operational owner of the finance accounting platform — the single point of accountability for shaping how it evolves to support Airbnb’s growing portfolio of product offerings. Your impact will be felt across three dimensions: Scaling the platform with Airbnb’s ambitions — You will define and drive the long-term roadmap for the finance accounting platform, ensuring it can scale to support new product lines, geographies, and business models. You will own prioritization across a high-volume platform funnel — balancing competing requests with clarity and structured decision-making — and continuously identify opportunities to optimize platform performance and reliability. Bringing new products to life on the accounting platform — Every time Airbnb launches or evolves a product, there is an accounting story that needs to be told accurately and at scale. You will lead that effort end-to-end — from initial accounting impact assessment through solution design, engineering alignment, UAT, release coordination, and production normalization — translating complex product changes into well-designed accounting workflows that record product lifecycle financials to Oracle FAH GL. Strengthening the financial foundation — You will help define and refine data pipeline monitoring controls, support month-end close processes, and partner with Finance stakeholders to automate manual operational workflows. Your work will directly improve the accuracy, timeliness, and reliability of financial data that flows across Airbnb’s Finance organization and beyond.
