Campaign Manager, Mexico

Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.

The Community You Will Join:

Airbnb's Public Policy team works closely with federal, state and municipal governments, legislators, regulators, public entities, industry associations, academia, our host community and the broader public. We introduce them to Airbnb, highlight the social and economic contribution our community makes to Mexico and its local communities, and share best practices from around the world.

Our goal is twofold. We want policymakers to understand the regulatory challenges that affect our hosts and to find models that work for cities, towns and their residents. We also want to help Mexican society embrace an innovative, collaborative economy where everyone can belong.

As part of a wider regional policy team, we take part in many local, state and national conversations at once. We engage governments directly and involve our community and partners in making the case for fair, progressive home sharing rules. Our work is organized in local campaign pods that draw on a wide range of tools: detailed policy analysis, strategic partnerships, policy media, community organizing, digital tactics, polling, data science and research, and persuasive policy narratives.

The Difference You will Make:

The Public Policy Campaign Manager leads the design and execution of successful policy campaigns in Mexico, working with the Public Policy Lead on both daily operations and overall strategy. You will draft and run integrated engagement plans, using in-person and digital tools to move key stakeholders toward specific policy goals in response to active or developing legislation and regulation.

A central part of the role is building trust with local authorities. You will help them understand the contribution our community makes, and engage them in creating fair legal and regulatory frameworks that embrace the potential of the sharing economy.

You are meticulously organized, detail-oriented and focused on solutions. You see the big picture, prioritize strategically, and know which information and data to escalate to leadership. You turn big ideas into policy with a positive, creative outlook, and you build strong relationships with internal teams and stakeholders in Mexico, the region and globally.
