Airbnb Strategic Finance & Analytics Principal at Airbnb to lead analytics and financial strategy for the Membership program. Provide insights and build financial models to support investment decisions and program growth.
Responsibilities
This role requires a strong commercial mindset, with the ability to size opportunities, evaluate returns, and translate performance and data insights into clear business implications and strategic recommendations for senior leadership.
The ideal candidate brings a combination of sharp analytical instincts, business acumen, and the ability to distill complex information into crisp executive-ready stories. You relish the opportunity to roll up their sleeves, and are a self-starter comfortable embracing the adventure of a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
Strategic Insights: Conduct analytical and financial deep dives to inform and shape key decisions. You should be comfortable both leading the work independently and partnering with the cross-functional teams to deliver a joint output.
Investment Decision Support: Build the business cases behind program investments. Size the opportunity, model the returns, and frame tradeoffs so leadership can decide where to place bets and how large they should be.
Performance Management: Own performance measurement for Membership programs, including defining KPIs, setting goals and OKRs, and building reporting and forecasting that connect early signals to guest and host outcomes, revenue, and long-term value. Support the planning cadences (annual planning, long-range planning, and monthly or quarterly forecasts).
Program Economics and ROI: Develop and pressure-test the economics of programs, including incentive and benefit costs, guest and host response, and incremental impact.
Presentations to Leadership: Synthesize complex data into clear narratives and recommendations for senior leadership. Influence cross functional stakeholders to drive alignment on high impact investment and operating decisions.
Ideally you have 10+ years of relevant finance and analytical experience across a mix of strategic finance, investment banking, private equity, strategy/management consulting, and/or business operations.
Superb financial modeling skills and extensive experience with quantitative and qualitative financial analysis, including building business cases and ROI frameworks.
Highly proficient in business analytics. You will need to independently extract, analyze, and synthesize large datasets.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with audiences at various levels. You enjoy working with fragmented data and insights and synthesizing them into a story with recommendations.
Proven ability to influence cross-functional partners and drive alignment in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where frameworks are still being built.
