Airbnb is hiring a Data Platform Product Lead

About the Role

Airbnb is seeking a Data Platform Product Lead to define and deliver the data products and systems strategy that powers our sales and operations organizations. You will partner deeply with sales leaders, data & software engineering teams, and business stakeholders to design the next generation of data infrastructure.

What You'll Do

  • Partner with sales and ops leadership and data engineering to define 18+ month roadmaps for data products, tools, and platforms.
  • Challenge data and software engineering teams on technical decisions, prototype solutions, and ensure building for AI-first workflows and future scale.
  • Translate complex sales workflows and host/rep needs into detailed technical requirements and data products.
  • Coordinate initiatives across many cross-functional teams including Sales, Operations, Data Engineering, Analytics, and Software Engineering.
  • Design data products that leverage LLMs, agents, and emerging AI capabilities to reimagine how teams work with data.
  • Jump into chaotic situations, quickly map system dependencies, and use those moments to identify architectural gaps and strategic opportunities.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience building intelligent systems that turn data into actionable insights.
  • Ability to translate metrics into clear, plain-language insights and choose the right format—chart or words.
  • Skill in architecting systems that auto-generate reports and insights using technologies like LLMs.
  • Deep data & SQL fluency to validate requirements, write complex queries, and challenge engineering decisions.
  • Product thinking for real workflows, designing outputs people want to share and use in conversations.
  • Ability to thrive in chaos, quickly map connections, and identify what needs to be built.
  • Strategic product vision that balances immediate fixes with architecting for platform scale.
  • 10+ years in product management building data products, analytics platforms, or insight generation systems, with a strong 0→1 track record.

Nice to Have

  • Advanced SQL and data modeling skills for writing complex queries and designing semantic layers.
  • Experience designing narrative-driven data products or automated insight generation systems beyond traditional BI dashboards.
  • Strong opinions on what makes insights actionable and why some visualizations drive action.
  • Understanding of how to leverage LLMs for reasoning, narrative generation, or personalization in data products.
  • Experience obsessing over product output—every word, chart, recommendation—and measuring user action.
  • Experience with modern data/analytics stacks (dbt, Looker, Tableau, or similar) and a clear point of view on their strengths and limitations.
  • Track record of iterating based on user engagement metrics like what gets opened, shared, and acted upon.
