The Community You Will Join: 

The Global Markets & Policy Advanced Analytics team is building the data infrastructure, measurement systems, and self-service tools that will power Airbnb's international growth in 2026 and beyond. This is a greenfield opportunity to shape how global teams make nimbler decisions, moving from HQ-dependent reporting cycles to fast, local, data-driven action.

This role will partner directly with Global Markets regional teams combined with Finance and Supply to surface local insights, build scalable tooling, and drive measurable impact on core business metrics. The ideal candidate brings deep technical rigor, strong business instincts, and a bias toward proactively building things—not just analyzing them.

The Difference You Will Make:

They will lead measurement, build tools, and develop insights leveraging a wide range of internal and external data sources to ensure the business is making the right decisions for both strategic direction and tactical execution.

The ideal candidate is someone with a strong data and analytics background. This person is curious, engaged, positive, and detail- and solutions-oriented. The world— and thus our industry— is changing quickly so the ideal candidate will be comfortable with responding promptly and changing course as needed when priorities and reporting needs shift. 

This role will be expected to be highly collaborative, and work regularly with multiple stakeholders and cross functional partners across Regional Teams, Policy, Supply, Finance, Data Science, Operations, Engineering, and Marketing.

The right candidate will already be recognized as a leader in the data and analytics field at this level, with a proven track record of using a range of strategies and disciplines to solve complex and ambiguous measurement problems for business teams. This person will also use their considerable experience with data and insights storytelling to influence large-scale strategic programs, and  be adept at leveraging AI technologies to accelerate and raise their craft.

You must be comfortable working in a global company, delivering counsel and guidance to senior leadership across the team and organization. The successful candidate will have solid experience creating internal advocacy and influencing multiple senior audiences on hard to communicate topics.
