The T&S Network estimates this role to be M4, Senior Manager. Key skills at this level: forecasts volume and staffs against it with real error bars, owns service levels and can explain a miss without blaming the queue, and governs a vendor relationship on quality, not only on cost per action.
Why this level
Estimated from the posting rather than stated by the employer: the posting states the level in its title · the title reads as M4 · asks for 13+ years · manages people.
The role, in T&S terms
Written by the T&S Network from Airbnb's posting.
Senior operations management for Airbnb's most sensitive and highest-severity specialty support services, delivered from the India hub. The role owns end-to-end delivery across close to 200 staff, covering user-safety and regulatory risk, and acts as the on-the-ground counterpart to global process leads.
What you'd do
- Manage daily operations of in-scope safety services, setting performance management and coaching cadence with Delivery and Quality leaders
- Define, monitor and improve efficiency and quality metrics against each service's scorecard, aligned to global standards
- Make data-driven calls on occupancy, SLA, capacity and workforce when volumes shift
- Coach Supervisors on daily execution while leading a Manager and Supervisors directly
- Land global programmes on the ground to timeline and quality, and surface operational pain points early
- Work with Quality, Training, Process Improvement, Analytics and WFM to remove silos across services
- Track themes in complex cases and escalations and set up cross-functional forums to address root causes
What it asks for
- 13 years or more of frontline operations management in a customer-facing environment
- Track record owning KPIs, people and business health for a large team
- Deep experience leading people, managing performance and coaching at both manager and supervisor levels
- Background handling intricate cases with senior executives, ideally at VP level or above (preferred)
- Trust & Safety or crisis management experience in a marketplace business (preferred)
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent is required, with a master's or MBA as a plus
- Comfortable turning figures into decisions and running operations on data
Worth knowing
- Exposure to sensitive, confidential and potentially traumatic content, and supporting a team doing the same
- Rotational 24x7 shifts and flexible hours to respond to global demand
