The posting

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

The Vendor Performance Management team oversees a network of high-performing vendor partners, ensuring they deliver maximum value across the CBO organization.

The Difference You Will Make

The Workforce And Vendor Excellence team is responsible for generating supply to enable guests to book vetted local professionals directly in the Airbnb app. As a Vendor Performance Manager, you will be the primary operational owner for strategic vendor relationships critical to scaling and managing the Homes program.

You will be responsible for ensuring our vendors meet and exceed service level agreements (SLAs), drive continuous performance improvement, and maintain strict adherence to Airbnb’s quality standards. This role requires a strong blend of analytical rigor, negotiation skills, and a passion for operational excellence within a global vendor network.

A Typical Day

  • KPI & SLA Oversight: Own the end-to-end performance of key operational vendors, developing, tracking, and reporting on critical metrics related to quality, efficiency, compliance, and cost.
  • Data Analysis: Conduct deep-dive analysis on vendor data to identify root causes of performance gaps, service failures, and emerging trends. Translate complex data into actionable insights for both internal stakeholders and vendor leadership.
  • Operational Process Optimization: Maximize CRM effectiveness by streamlining workflows, optimizing reporting, and ensuring data accuracy to significantly boost internal operational efficiency.
  • Establish Scalable Infrastructure: Proactively architect scalable operations for all new initiatives and pilots. Partner with planning teams to ensure vendor capacity is fully aligned with short-term and long-term business forecasts.

  • Contract Adherence: Ensure vendors strictly comply with all contractual agreements, security requirements, and policy updates.
  • Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify and mitigate operational and compliance risks within the vendor ecosystem.

Internal Stakeholder Management

  • Serve as the operational liaison between vendors and internal teams (e.g., Product, Policy, Legal, Training, Finance).
  • Synthesize vendor feedback and performance to inform product development and the Homes business.
  • Provide regular updates to senior leadership on vendor performance and impact.

Your Expertise

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of professional experience, with at least 5 years focused on vendor management, supplier relationship management, or outsourced operations performance in a high-volume, global environment.
  • Strong Analytical Skills: Proven ability to analyze large datasets, synthesize performance trends, and use data tools (e.g., Excel, Google Sheets, SQL proficiency strongly preferred) to drive decisions.
  • Technology & CRM Proficiency: Deep working knowledge of CRM systems (especially Salesforce) and sales enablement tools (MixMax, Gong) to optimize sales processes and operational efficiency.
  • Operational Excellence: Deep understanding of contact center operations, quality assurance methodologies, and process improvement frameworks (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma).
  • Communication & Influence: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly and influence stakeholders at all levels, both internally and externally.

Our Commitment To Inclusion & Belonging:

Airbnb is committed to working with the broadest talent pool possible. We believe diverse ideas foster innovation and engagement, and allow us to attract creatively-led people, and to develop the best products, services and solutions. All qualified individuals are encouraged to apply.

Reasonable Accommodations: We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations throughout the recruitment process for applicants with disabilities. If you need assistance, or an accommodation, please let your recruiter know once you are contacted about a role.

A Note on Recruiting Scams: Scammers sometimes pose as Airbnb recruiters to get money or personal information from candidates. A few things that will always be true for Airbnb’s hiring process: our open roles are posted on Airbnb’s Career’s Page at careers.airbnb.com, and our recruiters correspond only from @airbnb.com or @ext.airbnb.com email addresses. Our recruiters will never ask for your Social Security number, bank account details, passport, or payment app information while you are interviewing. We’ll also never ask you to pay a fee, send money, deposit or cash a check, or purchase work-related equipment (such as a company laptop) during the interview process. We encourage candidates to remain vigilant of these recruiting scams and not share sensitive information if you do not believe an individual is actually affiliated with Airbnb.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
