Product Manager - Trust and Safety

Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals in more than 100, 000 cities and towns located in 220 countries and regions across the globe. Every day, Hosts offer unique stays and one-of-a-kind activities that make it possible for guests to experience the world in a more authentic, connected way.

Airbnb was born with a creative spirit, and it’s one of the most defining parts of our culture. We use our curiosity and imagination to come up with unconventional solutions. These are the ideas at the core of Airbnb:

• Our community is based on connection and belonging.

• Our creativity allows us to imagine new possibilities for people.

• Our responsibility is to all of our stakeholders.

• It takes a unified team committed to our core values to embody these ideas, and our fast-moving team is committed to leading as a 21st century company
