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:  We are looking for an outcomes driven, collaborative, and effective performance manager who knows how to build and drive virtual teams of outsourced customer service partners, Airbnb service designers, and shared services service-domain experts. The Partner Operations Manager uses innovative and scalable performance management processes to own the service delivery performance metrics that our partners produce in a specific region or market, serving two or fewer CS services.  The Difference You Will Make: The Partner Operations Manager will deliver on KPI management and continuous improvement, region or specific market level performance storytelling, product and process insights discovery, and most importantly, will collaborate with their Senior Delivery Manager, colleagues and shared services virtual teams to maintain a robust, well documented, and effective performance review and improvement program with the CS partners in their market or region.
