Product Manager, Airbnb for Real Estate

The Community You Will Join:

The Airbnb for Real Estate team (A4RE) is an entrepreneurial group within Airbnb partnering with Real Estate owners and operators of large multi-family buildings to normalize hosting across the rental industry. By showcasing their buildings on the Airbnb-friendly Apartments marketplace, our partners differentiate their properties and attract prospective resident leads.  

Residents who live in Airbnb-friendly Apartment buildings have the unique opportunity to list their place on Airbnb. This can help lower their cost of living or provide renters with the flexibility to earn money while they travel. By sharing in these earnings, our real estate partners generate a new source of incremental revenue.

We move fast but are thoughtful in our approach. We’re passionate about working with our partners and hosts to change an entire industry.  We are looking for people that want to collaborate with us to change the way people live!
