Marketing Lead, Partnerships

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 Marketing organization partners closely with our Global Partnerships team to turn commercial deals into brand-building moments. Our partners' channels carry audience reach, trust, and cultural credibility — when we show up well on them, we drive bookings, brand love, and reach beyond our owned brand and paid media. This role sits within Marcomm/Marketing, working shoulder-to-shoulder with Global Partnerships (who own the commercial relationship) as well as Creative, PGM, Comms, and Regional Marketing to bring partner storytelling to life, held to the same bar as Airbnb's own brand campaigns.

The Difference You Will Make

As Lead, Partnership Marketing, you'll own the marketing strategy and execution across Airbnb's partner portfolio — turning each partnership's commercial objective into a compelling marketing plan with clear success measures. You'll be the connective tissue between our partners' brand systems and Airbnb's, building campaigns that live on partner channels while staying integrated with Airbnb's owned storytelling. Success looks like a portfolio of partner campaigns that consistently deliver measurable brand and bookings impact, a scorecard that lets leadership compare performance across partners, and an operating rhythm for partner marketing that didn't exist before you built it.

A Typical Day

• Build and run marketing campaigns on partner channels — bookable placements, integrations, co-branded content, social, email, and on-site/in-venue activations

• Act as the day-to-day marketing counterpart to each partner's marketing team, owning the marketing relationship alongside the Partnership Lead who owns the deal

• Brief and partner with Creative to produce assets sized for partner channels, and manage a two-way approvals path between Airbnb and partner brand teams

• Maintain a rolling marketing calendar per partner, synced to both the partner's roadmap and Airbnb's central marketing calendar — including multi-year views for anchor partnerships

• Define and report on the brand metrics that matter per partner, partnering with Business Operations and Finance, and feed findings back into planning

• Deliver real-time, in-market marketing during live moments like major events and brand activations, often on compressed timelines

• Represent partner marketing in Airbnb's broader Marketing planning cycles, keeping Partnerships, PGM, Creative, Comms, and Regional Marketing aligned on what's launching, when, and why
