The role owns the tooling and workflow infrastructure, assessing current state, designing scalable replacements, and driving delivery through adoption.
Responsibilities
- Define the multi-year strategy for Airbnb's ops platform, including an opinionated proposal for operational support in 12+ months as AI takes on more execution, and maintain a prioritized roadmap.
- Align vision, OKRs, strategy, and roadmap with senior leaders across Supply, Engineering, and Operations.
- Design AI-forward operational processes and determine the necessity of human-in-the-loop across workflows.
- Own case management and workforce management tooling, including capacity planning, workload distribution, performance measurement, and forecasting for a workforce where AI agents and humans share the queue.
- Write product briefs, prototype, iterate with engineering, and own outcomes through launch and adoption.
- Navigate and align PMM and engineering teams, negotiating sequencing and resolving conflicting constraints.
Qualifications
- 10+ years in product management, platform management, or operations technology, with at least 5 in a technical product management role with direct delivery accountability for systems built with back-end engineering teams.
- Deep technical fluency: reads system architecture, pressure-tests engineering designs, understands data models and API contracts.
- Experience redesigning operational processes in a high-volume service organization, replacing fragmented manual work with structured, measurable, scalable systems.
- Experience shipping AI or automation into production operations, including designing human-in-the-loop systems.
- Track record of delivering outcomes through teams outside your reporting line.
- Exceptional business fluency, connecting platform decisions to business outcomes and measuring success in business KPIs.
- Experience building or owning workforce management or case management tooling.
- Exceptional communication across audiences, from ops agents to back-end engineers to senior leadership.
