Senior Platform Manager, Data Products, Finance Accounting

The Community You Will Join:

Airbnb's Business Technology (Biztech) organization sits at the heart of how we scale our internal operations to match the pace and ambition of our products. Within Biztech, the Finance Accounting Platform team owns the core finance accounting platform — the system that records, processes, and reports the financial lifecycle of every product Airbnb offers to the world. This is a senior finance systems product role: you are the product owner for the platform, its roadmap, and its controls.

As a Senior Platform Manager on this team, you will be embedded in a rich, cross-functional community spanning the full breadth of Airbnb's business. You'll partner daily with Product and Platform Managers across Payments, Trust, Guest & Host, Pricing, Insurance, Hotels, and Customer Service — as well as Finance stakeholders from Revenue Controllership, Treasury, Tax, Payments Legal, Consolidation, Collections, and Cash. You'll work closely with Data Engineers and Oracle Applications teams to bring platform solutions to life, and collaborate with FP&A and Business Unit teams who depend on the data your platform produces.
This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of finance, product, and engineering — often someone who started in accounting or audit and moved into finance systems or a techno-functional product management role — and who finds energy in being the connective tissue across a large, diverse, and highly capable community. Additionally, you bring in that broad perspective and proven track record of implementing platform solutions that scale to changing business needs

You will be the strategic and operational owner of the finance accounting platform — the single point of accountability for shaping how it evolves to support Airbnb's growing portfolio of product offerings. Your impact will be felt across three dimensions:

• →CPA, CMA, or equivalent accounting credential strongly preferred; Big 4 audit or controllership background a plus
• →Subject matter expert in accounting principles and ASC 606 revenue recognition, with the ability to apply standards to complex, multi-product digital marketplace environments
• →Proven experience implementing end-to-end accounting workflows across record-to-report and order-to-cash cycles, including SOX controls, reporting, and reconciliation
• →Hands-on experience supporting high-volume, event-driven transactional workflows (bookings, payments, payouts, refunds, adjustments) on finance platforms in a marketplace or payments environment — ideally at a high-growth technology company

• 6+ years (typically 10+) of experience in platform management, product management, finance systems with a strong business, finance and accounting data focus
• Demonstrated ability to own and manage a complex, multi-stakeholder platform roadmap with a high volume of competing priorities
• Proven track record of driving end-to-end delivery — from design and engineering through testing, release, and production normalization — in cross-functional environments
• Experience operating in Agile and continuous delivery models; able to move with pace without sacrificing rigor or quality

• Actively uses AI tools to accelerate your own work and to automate repetitive finance workflows (journals, reconciliations, close tasks, intake triage), with a clear view of the validation and control implications before release
• Experience working with or alongside Oracle FAH, General Ledger, or equivalent ERP platforms
• Solid SQL skills and proven ability to work with large, complex datasets — including writing performant queries against partitioned tables, aggregating high-cardinality transactional data, and troubleshooting data anomalies at scale
• Familiarity with subledger to General Ledger data flows — understanding how product-level financial events are transformed, aggregated, and posted as journal entries, and how to validate accuracy across that chain
• Working fluency in modern data pipeline concepts (batch vs. streaming, partitioning, warehouse vs. lake) sufficient to engage Data Engineering on design tradeoffs; you don't need to build pipelines, but you need to reason about them
• Familiarity with data pipeline architecture and monitoring controls — including SLA management, data quality checks, alerting frameworks, and reconciliation workflows that ensure financial data integrity across the close cycle

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to modulate depth and style based on audience — from engineering spec reviews to
• Finance leadership briefings
• Strong influencing skills and high EQ; proven ability to drive alignment across diverse, senior stakeholders without direct authority
• Detail-oriented and highly analytical; comfortable structuring ambiguous problems and driving to clear outcomes
• Proficiency with Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, and modern collaboration tools

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Accounting, Finance, or a related technical field
