This role is newly created and does not replace or backfill an existing position. We use automated tools to help our recruiting team efficiently screen a large volume of applications. All final hiring decisions are made by a human reviewer.

The Community You Will Join:

The AirCover team is charged with ideating, building, launching, and managing the AirCover business within Airbnb. We have a huge responsibility to our community of hosts and guests to be there when things don’t go exactly as planned with their reservations. We have a lot of work to do in the coming years, and we are looking for someone who will help us manage all the tasks necessary to deliver best-in-class services to our community.

The Difference You Will Make:

As an integral member of our team, you will drive innovative, user-centered design across our existing products, both internal and external. The ideal candidate is passionate about understanding users—both our community and our agents—and leveraging data-driven insights to elevate our experience.

You will lead the heartbeat of the organization's operating rhythm to deliver best-in-class 10-star agent, customer experience, and community protection across operations, product, and cross-functional teams—including those enabled by AI systems. You will influence prioritization, drive accountability, deliver improvements, and scale changes through both human and technological levers.

As part of this, you’ll leverage journey mapping that may integrate AI-driven tools and generative AI to design, analyze, and elevate user experiences. This means creating personas, mapping user journeys across all touch points, and generating insights that fuel continuous improvement and innovation.

Colleagues will seek your insights and guidance on best practices, design choices, and strategic direction. Your ability to influence, educate, and advise will be key to driving adoption of agentic, AI-enhanced UX solutions.


• Develop and Implement Ops Labeling Strategy: Lead efforts to design, implement, and refine an Ops Labeling strategy—ensuring every customer interaction, case, and resolution path is tagged for root cause analysis, performance monitoring, and upstream fixes.


• Create and Maintain Taxonomy: Develop and maintain robust labeling taxonomies to ensure label completeness and accuracy. This foundation enables targeted improvements in UX, enhancing both human-driven and automated workflows across the service journey.


• Translate Insights into Action: Turn agent, customer, and system insights into actionable plans for product, service, and automation improvements.


• Partner Cross-Functionally: Collaborate with organizational, technical, and cross-functional leaders to improve user experience—including journey mapping, conducting user interviews, and using AI-enabled insights.

• You confidently illustrate the future of digital and help us envision the experience needed to collectively build an intuition for what the AirCover future looks like.


• You naturally build trust and drive success for stakeholders and business partners.


• You work independently, seeking guidance only in the most complex situations.

• You are a strong communicator—able to translate complex user concepts and emerging technologies into a clear, compelling vision and actionable steps for both technical and non-technical audiences. You’ll articulate opportunities, foster understanding across stakeholders, and ensure alignment as we build the next generation of AirCover experiences for our agents and community.


• You drive influence by keeping the business informed on strategic performance metrics, identifying opportunities to improve the customer experience, and driving upstream changes with operations, product, and engineering leaders.

Your Expertise:
