Staff, Advanced Analytics, Incubations

The Community You Will Join: 

Airbnb, a leader in travel and hospitality, is on a mission to create a world where anyone can belong anywhere. Long-Term Stay & Luxe is being built with 0-to-1 intensity inside a marketplace that already moves at massive scale, and this team needs people who can operate like founders while still respecting the rigor of a mature, two-sided marketplace.

The Difference You Will Make:

Airbnb is seeking a Staff, Advanced Analytics to be the analytics owner and strategic partner for Long-Term Stay & Luxe — setting the agenda for what gets measured and tested, building the quantitative models that underpin how the business grows, and operating as a peer to product and business leadership.

A Typical Day: 

• Own the end-to-end analytics strategy and roadmap for Long-Term Stay & Luxe — decide what to measure, what to test, and where the biggest leverage is. Prioritization decisions should exist because of your recommendations.
• Build and evolve the quantitative models that run the business: supply-demand balance, marketplace liquidity, pricing and take-rate models, and LTV/forecasting — going beyond dashboards to build the underlying data models and pipelines.
• Design and analyze experiments across pricing, search and ranking, host onboarding, and guest conversion. Develop causal-inference approaches (holdouts, proxy metrics, quasi-experimental methods) for the many cases where a clean randomized trial isn't possible given lower volumes or longer booking cycles.
• Act as a proactive strategic partner to product, GM, and cross-functional leaders — surface insights and recommendations ahead of the task, and directly shape what the team builds, tests, and invests in next.
• Build scalable, self-serve reporting and OKR tracking that gives leadership real-time visibility into two fast-moving, still-forming businesses.
• Move fast and stay effective in high-ambiguity, high-intensity conditions — the business model, metrics, and priorities will keep evolving, and you should find that energizing rather than draining.

Your Expertise:

• 8+ years in analytics, data science, or a similarly quantitative role, ideally including time inside a marketplace business (e.g., Zillow, Airbnb, Uber, DoorDash, Etsy) and/or experience incubating a business from 0 to 1.
• A track record of operating as a proactive strategic partner to senior product and business leaders: someone who shows up with a point of view, not just an answer to the last question asked. Excellent communicator who can flex between technical depth and clear, senior-stakeholder storytelling.
• Genuine passion for the work and a high tolerance for intensity — comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and the pace of a business that's still being built.
• Demonstrated ability to build and ship quantitative models — supply/demand, pricing, matching, LTV, forecasting — not just analyze results, but construct the underlying logic and data pipelines yourself.
• Experience designing and interpreting A/B experiments, plus comfort with causal-inference methods when traditional testing isn't feasible.

Preferred Experience:

• Experience with supply/demand modeling or geo-based analytics in a marketplace setting
• Exposure to growth marketing analytics (SEM, paid social, performance channels) 
• Awareness of emerging AI/LLM-driven discovery and search trends and their implications for organic traffic and demand generation strategy
• Familiarity with marketing analytics and measurement methodologies, including marketing mix modeling (MMM), attribution, and campaign performance frameworks
