Senior Brand Strategist at Airbnb

United States

$196k - $245k

<div class="content-intro">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.</div>The Community You Will Join:  You will work across both the long and short term: helping define where the Airbnb brand should move over the next three to five years while shaping the briefs, positioning, and strategic narratives that drive the business today. You will partner closely with Advertising, Marcom, Regional Marketing, Consumer Insights, Media, Product Marketing, and Creative to identify the insights and messages that should shape Airbnb’s external narrative. You will remain closely involved throughout creative development, helping teams protect the core idea, sharpen the storytelling, and make the work simpler, more distinctive, and more effective. Writing is central to this role. You will be expected to produce briefs, strategic narratives, positioning frameworks, presentations, and points of view that are concise, persuasive, and creatively inspiring. You should be able to take a large amount of information, find the underlying truth, and write it in a way that makes the path forward feel clear. This role requires someone who can move fluidly between systems-level thinking and hands-on creative partnership. You bring a genuine consumer perspective into every room, stay calm and decisive amid ambiguity, and know how to create clarity when priorities are moving quickly. You should also have a current and instinctive understanding of culture, media, and social platforms—not simply as channels, but as environments with their own behaviors, creative codes, and forms of participation. You understand how ideas travel, how they change across contexts, and how a brand can participate in culture without feeling forced or derivative. The Difference You Will Make: The Senior Brand Strategist shapes how Airbnb’s brand shows up in the world—from the long-term positioning of the company to the campaigns, product launches, and cultural moments that bring the brand to life. This is a senior strategy role for an exceptional thinker and writer. You will turn consumer insight, business priorities, and cultural signals into clear, compelling strategic points of view. Your writing must be sharp enough to clarify complex problems, align senior leaders, and inspire creative teams to make their best work.
