Airbnb is hiring a Supply Tech Lead to drive the strategy and execution of our incubation platform (Elevate), which enables rapid experimentation for new supply programs. This role sits at the intersection of platform strategy, technical execution, and business consulting, owning the platform roadmap and partnering to graduate successful programs into core infrastructure.
What You'll Do
- Own end-to-end platform strategy for incubation platform(s) (Elevate) and capabilities, defining 6+ month roadmaps and execution plans.
- Consult with business and technical partners to identify problems worth solving, evaluate program eligibility for 0>1 experimentation, and drive build vs. buy framework decisions.
- Partner on graduation pathways with Product Marketing and Engineering teams to define criteria, migration processes, and handoffs that transition successful experiments from incubation to core infrastructure.
- Lead cross-functional delivery by creating concept briefs and coordinating across Sales, Operations, Product Marketing, Engineering, and Analytics teams to enable successful launches.
- Evolve platform capabilities through experimental frameworks that enable rapid testing, guide architectural decisions for scalability, and measure success through program outcomes and graduations.
What We're Looking For
- Exceptional communication skills with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences from engineers to business leaders.
- 10+ years in platform management, technical program management, or business systems roles with hands-on platform ownership.
- Proven ability to independently identify strategic business problems and translate them into product roadmaps.
- Strong technical aptitude, including the ability to evaluate architectural tradeoffs, engage in build vs. buy discussions, and challenge technical decisions.
- Cross-functional leadership skills with the ability to influence stakeholders across complex organizations and teams without direct authority.
- Proven track record managing platform roadmaps and delivering through engineering teams, including offshore partnerships.
