About the role

Airbnb's mission is to create a world where people can Belong Anywhere. We're seeking a NextStay Fellow to help pursue that mission as a hands-on Technical Program Manager (TPM) in our engineering organization. The NextStay Fellowship is a launchpad: you'll join with a strong program management foundation and grow into the full scope and ambiguity of the role, supported by experienced TPMs and engineering partners invested in your success.

What they're looking for

  • Lead execution of a project with a defined scope and approach, turning direction from your manager or senior TPMs into a concrete, realistic plan built around known constraints
  • Break work into trackable pieces and use input and output metrics to monitor progress, surfacing slippage before it becomes a problem
  • Lead alignment of the project team and hold contributors accountable to deliverables and milestones, while anticipating the next set of work
  • Consult team members or leaders to identify risks and mitigation options, track and manage risks you've already identified through to resolution
  • Communicate the project's vision and success criteria clearly to your project team and stakeholders, and re-evaluate strategy with guidance from leadership on when to pivot versus stay the course
  • Ask the right questions to surface potential technical gaps, working collaboratively with engineers and applying a working understanding of sound technical principles
