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:

Our Content & Knowledge Management (CKM) team in Community Support (CS) is growing and we want you to be part of it!

This role requires candidates to be based in the United States or Canada. This role is not eligible for relocation support.

As a KM manager, you are entrusted with leading a group of content professionals responsible for capturing, curating, and codifying information—standardizing and structuring it so humans and machines can consume it. The role requires fostering a culture of creativity, innovation, collaboration, and belonging, so that your team is empowered to improve quality, reduce effort, engender meaningful outcomes for core audiences, and drive measurable results for the business.

• Coach, mentor, and grow a high‑performing team: set clear goals, deliver regular feedback, develop craft and leadership skills, and build succession plans
• Articulate the key role knowledge plays on the success of support teams, including regular leadership updates, and structure and enable the team to ensure that human and virtual agents have the information they need at the ready
• Oversee processes and programs that assure content accuracy, accessibility, availability, usability, and effectiveness
• Act as DRI for content‑related urgencies: triage requests, align stakeholders, coordinate publication of rapid guidance to agents and customers, and run retros to document improvement opportunities or best practices

Your expertise:

• 10+ years experience in content and knowledge management or related fields
• 4+ years of experience leading content creators, content strategists, technical writers, and/or editors with a track record of success providing coaching, feedback, and professional development opportunities to team members
• Proven understanding of emerging digital and knowledge management trends, ability to provide thought leadership, and capacity to inspire innovation in these spaces
• Extensive familiarity with different content management systems (ex: Content Stack), operational and project management applications (ex: Airtable, Asana, etc.), and AI solutions and tools
• Familiarity with Taxonomy and Information Architecture concepts
