Staff, Advanced Analytics, Incubations

Role Description

Airbnb is seeking a Staff, Advanced Analytics to be the analytics owner and strategic partner for Long-Term Stay & Luxe — setting the agenda for what gets measured and tested, building the quantitative models that underpin how the business grows, and operating as a peer to product and business leadership.

• Own the end-to-end analytics strategy and roadmap for Long-Term Stay & Luxe — decide what to measure, what to test, and where the biggest leverage is.
• Build and evolve the quantitative models that run the business: supply-demand balance, marketplace liquidity, pricing and take-rate models, and LTV/forecasting.
• Design and analyze experiments across pricing, search and ranking, host onboarding, and guest conversion.
• Develop causal-inference approaches (holdouts, proxy metrics, quasi-experimental methods) for cases where a clean randomized trial isn't possible.
• Act as a proactive strategic partner to product, GM, and cross-functional leaders — surface insights and recommendations ahead of the task.
• Build scalable, self-serve reporting and OKR tracking that gives leadership real-time visibility into two fast-moving, still-forming businesses.
• Move fast and stay effective in high-ambiguity, high-intensity conditions.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in analytics, data science, or a similarly quantitative role, ideally including time inside a marketplace business.
• A track record of operating as a proactive strategic partner to senior product and business leaders.
• Excellent communicator who can flex between technical depth and clear, senior-stakeholder storytelling.
• Genuine passion for the work and a high tolerance for intensity.
• Demonstrated ability to build and ship quantitative models — supply/demand, pricing, matching, LTV, forecasting.
• Experience designing and interpreting A/B experiments, plus comfort with causal-inference methods.

Requirements

• Experience with supply/demand modeling or geo-based analytics in a marketplace setting.
• Exposure to growth marketing analytics (SEM, paid social, performance channels).
• Awareness of emerging AI/LLM-driven discovery and search trends.
• Familiarity with marketing analytics and measurement methodologies, including marketing mix modeling (MMM), attribution, and campaign performance frameworks.

Benefits

• Base pay range: $180,000 — $221,000 USD.
• This role may also be eligible for bonus, equity, benefits, and Employee Travel Credits.
