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. UX Writing is a core design discipline at Airbnb. Our team of 40+ writers works closely with Experience Design, Experience Research, and Design Program Management to support the product development process from beginning to end. The International team makes Airbnb’s products more local. You’ll deploy a deep and nuanced understanding of regional needs, cultural and linguistic norms, and regulatory environments to craft language and interfaces that resonate with local audiences. Working alongside the London-based team, you’ll support the design of country-specific features for key markets including Italy, Germany, Spain, France and the UK. You will collaborate with cross-regional partners such as country managers, localization experts, linguists and translators, researchers, product specialists, engineers, and data scientists to craft meaningful and inclusive products that empower guests and hosts around the world.
