About the Role

Airbnb is seeking a Senior Staff UX Writer to join the International team, based in London (or within easy commuting distance). The International team makes Airbnb's products more local, deploying a deep 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.

  • Present content and design work to Design Directors, executives, or other stakeholders
  • Drive consensus with stakeholders and/or partners on content recommendations
  • Manage copy deadlines and deliver detailed copy across multiple projects
  • Connect with cross-functional partners—accessibility, anti-discrimination, legal, localization, country managers—to ensure proper input
  • Partner closely with the central UX Writing team to ensure Global Markets work is aligned with shared standards, voice, and quality bar

Qualifications

  • 12+ years of experience in UX writing, content design, or content strategy

  • Comfortable working independently in a fast-paced environment
  • Proven ability to move work forward in an ambiguous work environment
  • Comfortable working alongside other design disciplines in Figma, our primary collaboration tool
  • Passion for Airbnb's mission, commitment to diversity, and global mindset
  • Bilingual in German, Spanish, French, or Italian is welcome (but not required)
