Program Coordinator, Policy EMEA

Airbnb’s Public Policy Campaign Team exists to further the interests of our community of hosts and guests with politicians, regulators, opinion leaders and others who shape the political and legal context for our business, helping them to understand the significant social and economic contributions of our platform. Across the region, we are engaged in hundreds of local conversations and negotiations with governments big and small. We engage governments at local, state, provincial and national levels directly and also use innovative advocacy and partnership strategies that actively involve our community and our stakeholders in making the case for fair, progressive home sharing rules.

With so much going on in so many places, Airbnb is seeking an experienced organizational and administrative professional to join the team as a Program Coordinator.
