Business Operations & Growth Lead — ANZ at Airbnb (Sydney, Australia)
Airbnb started in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home — and has since grown to over 5 million hosts and 2 billion guest arrivals in nearly every country. The Chief Business Officer organization drives that global expansion, and the Global Markets team makes sure Airbnb stays locally relevant everywhere. Now they're hiring a Business Operations and Growth Lead for Australia and New Zealand.
The Role
Reporting to the Country Manager, ANZ, you'll work closely with cross-functional leaders to scale community growth and optimization programs across the region. Based in Sydney, this role requires in-person office attendance with flexibility on days and frequency — you'll be at the heart of Airbnb's ANZ strategy.
A Typical Day
- Align all functions around Australia and New Zealand's business objectives in partnership with the Country Manager
- Drive regular business operation meetings, leading weekly sessions with cross-functional project teams to keep key initiatives moving
- Play a key role in growth and optimization programs across supply, demand, and other surfaces
- Support the regional team in planning and executing strategy that resonates with local hosts and guests
Who You Are
You're a strategic operator with experience in business operations, growth, or consulting — comfortable working across marketing, supply, and finance. You thrive in fast-moving environments, communicate with clarity, and genuinely care about the local community experience. You've got the judgment to prioritize, the energy to drive initiatives forward, and the EQ to work across cultures.
