Senior Social Manager, Instagram

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

At Airbnb, Instagram is where our brand shows up most visibly. It’s where travel, culture, and belonging come to life - not as a point of sale, but as something people choose to spend time with. This role will help define that presence, shaping a feed that feels considered, culturally fluent, and distinctly Airbnb.

We’re looking for someone who can combine creative instinct, editorial judgment, and platform expertise to build something innovative and enduring. Someone excited by setting the tone, raising the bar, and defining what great looks like - while still moving at the speed of culture.

The Difference You Will Make

We’re looking for someone who understands Instagram at a deep, almost instinctive level - not just how it works, but how to win at it.

You probably spend more time on the platform than anyone you know. You see patterns before they become trends, understand the signals behind the algorithm, and have a clear point of view on what makes content travel - and what makes it feel stale.

More than anything, you think like an editor. You have a vision and can articulate taste. You know what’s worth saying, how to say it, and when. You understand pacing, sequencing, and how individual posts ladder up into a broader narrative.

You’ve likely played a meaningful role in shaping and growing an account, with a strong perspective on format, visual language, and storytelling. You understand the nuances of Reels, Carousels, Stories - and how each can be used to build a cohesive, evolving point of view for Airbnb
