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
