About the role

As a Senior Demand Strategy Lead, you are entrusted with owning the strategy end to end, defining how we engage guests across the full lifecycle, from discovery and booking through post-experience engagement and repeat, and how owned content builds demand alongside it. You set the direction, define success metrics, identify what is and isn't working, and own the outcome.

What they're looking for

  • Define the end-to-end guest lifecycle strategy for Experiences, from first touch through repeat booking
  • Own the roadmap for email and push programs: Tripcycle, home-abandoner sequences, transactional messaging, and Launchpad integration
  • Identify the highest-impact audience segments, messaging angles, and send cadences, and build a rigorous testing framework to validate them
  • Drive automation of high-performing sends to maximize reach with minimal ongoing cost
  • Set the strategy for the Experiences newsletter and other owned content we produce: what we publish, to whom, and how it ties to demand and discovery
  • Build an editorial calendar and a content-to-conversion measurement approach, so owned content is held to demand outcomes, not just engagement
More about this role

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 Experiences team is responsible for scaling a curated, high-quality supply of unique activities hosted by local creators, iconic businesses, and operators worldwide and we're at an inflection point.

We have a large and growing captive audience of guests who have booked or are considering a trip, and a suite of lifecycle, CRM, and owned-content levers that remain significantly under-optimized. Email, push, transactional messaging, and our owned editorial channels are low-cost, high-reach ways to move demand once the right strategy, testing infrastructure, and automation are in place.
