Job Description:

Airbnb is seeking a Supply Tech Lead to drive the strategy and execution of our 0>1 incubation platform that has enabled 1.5M+ hosts across 8+ programs since 2024. You'll own the platform roadmap for our internal experimentation capabilities while partnering cross-functionally to identify business problems, evaluate build vs. buy decisions, and deliver scalable solutions that graduate from pilot to core infrastructure. This role sits at the intersection of platform strategy, technical execution, and business consulting - serving as the strategic owner of a platform that enables rapid experimentation and partners with Product Marketing and Engineering to graduate successful programs into Airbnb's core infrastructure at scale.

Job Responsibility:

  • Own end-to-end platform strategy for incubation platform(s) (Elevate) and capabilities, defining 6+ month roadmaps and execution plans
  • Consult with business and technical partners to identify problems worth solving, evaluate program eligibility for 0>1 experimentation, and drive build vs. buy framework decisions
  • Partner on graduation pathways with Product Marketing and Engineering teams to define criteria, migration processes, and handoffs that transition successful experiments from incubation to core infrastructure at scale
  • Lead cross-functional delivery by creating concept briefs, coordinating across Sales, Operations, Product Marketing, Engineering, and Analytics teams, and enabling successful launches
  • Evolve platform capabilities through experimental frameworks that enable rapid testing, guide architectural decisions for scalability and handoff readiness, and measure success through program outcomes and graduations

Requirements:

  • Exceptional communication - can articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences from engineers to business leaders
  • 10+ years in platform management, technical program management, or business systems roles with hands-on platform ownership
  • Proven ability to independently identify strategic business problems and translate them into product roadmaps
  • Strong technical aptitude - can evaluate architectural tradeoffs, engage in build vs. buy discussions, and challenge technical decisions
  • Cross-functional leadership - can influence stakeholders across complex organizations, business and technical teams without direct authority
  • Proven track record managing platform roadmaps and delivering through engineering teams, including offshore partnerships
  • Strategic problem-solving skills with ability to identify business problems independently and translate them into execution plans
