Advanced Analytics Intern [Remote]

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:

Airbnb is seeking an Advanced Analytics Intern to join the Finance Data Science & Strategy team within the Finance organization for the 2027 Summer Intern Program.

The Finance Data Science & Strategy team builds the statistical models behind Airbnb's top line forecast and explains how the business performs against it. The work runs as a loop. We figure out where actuals differ from forecast and why, share the answer with partners across Finance and the business, and feed what we learned into the next version of the forecast, so each cycle starts from a better baseline than the last.

We are looking for someone curious about business and data, who can understand both the 'what' and the 'why' behind a number and help translate them into decisions. An ideal candidate would have some familiarity with analytical methodologies, BI tooling, and business communication.

The Difference You Will Make:

As an Advanced Analytics Intern on our team, you'll help explain how the business performed against the forecast and use what you find to improve it. You'll have the opportunity to:

• Build comprehensive and high quality analyses of how the business is performing against the forecast, and explain what drove the difference
• Work with the team's data scientists to turn those findings into improvements in the next version of the forecast
• Communicate findings clearly to partners across Finance and the business, in written readouts and recurring reviews

A Typical Day:

During your internship you'll be integrated into a team where you'll contribute to challenging projects. Your manager, team, and our incredible employee community will strive to be superhosts to you during the summer. We provide the support, mentorship, fun, and real world experience needed to accelerate your learning and make a real impact on our business, as Airbnb revolutionizes connection, belonging, and travel. You'll be expected to:

• Own and complete a capstone project from beginning to end
• Collaborate with multiple team members to achieve project milestones
• Communicate with stakeholders across different teams to provide project updates
• Seek and provide feedback throughout the internship
• Actively participate in and contribute to the Finance Data Science & Strategy team and broader Airbnb community

Your Expertise:

This opportunity is for full-time students completing a Master's degree in a quantitative field (e.g. Data Science, Mathematics, Analytics, Statistics, Econometrics, etc.) with at least one semester of school remaining after the internship.

• Proficient in communication and collaboration, with the ability to effectively engage with diverse teams and individuals
• Skilled in conducting thorough and inclusive analyses, ensuring that findings are communicated clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Possesses robust data, statistical analysis, and analytics skills, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of complex datasets.
• Substantial experience in SQL, along with a solid foundation in at least one programming language (Python or R)
• Preferred (not required): Familiarity with forecasting, time series, and/or A/B testing
• Demonstrated interest in high growth, technology, and/or hospitality companies
• Work authorization for employment in the United States is required (CPT/OPT with 2-year STEM extension is accepted)

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.
