Senior Program Manager, Design, International

Design Operations enables Airbnb’s Design group to run effectively to make products that are usable, lovable, and scalable for our users. Partnering closely with Design, Product Management, Engineering, and business leaders, we drive Airbnb’s priorities through seamless day-to-day operations and strong stakeholder alignment, with an eye towards scale and efficiency. The Design Program Managers on this team lead the end-to-end planning, execution, and budgeting of programs to deliver success for our product, hosts, and guests. With a strong appreciation for the practice and process of design, you understand the multiple disciplines that go into a successful product. You bring creativity to the operational elements in a design team and focus on solving the “how,” freeing up your design peers to focus on crafting the “what.” As a Senior Design Program Manager (DPM) supporting international expansion initiatives, you will work closely with our Design Leads and cross-functional partners to drive delivery of quarterly and annual roadmap objectives and ensure that what we promise in our international roadmap is what we deliver in our product. You will drive tight alignment of activities across international and global teams through cross-functional planning and strong communication. In this role, you are responsible for driving end-to-end scoping, planning, execution, and launch of design programs to deliver success for our product, hosts, and guests. You will also serve as the bridge between critical business functions, aligning stakeholders, providing visibility into the workstreams’ progress, elevating risks, and guiding the team through the process of bringing our work to life. You will partner with Global Design Ops Leadership to provide insight on program progress and raise any red flags that could affect delivery.
