About the role

Hands-on Technical Program Manager (TPM) fellowship within Airbnb's NextStay program, focused on leading cross-functional technical programs across engineering, product, and operations teams with mentorship from senior TPMs.

Responsibilities

  • Lead execution of a project with a defined scope and approach, turning direction from your manager or senior TPMs into a concrete, realistic plan built around known constraints.
  • Break work into trackable pieces and use input and output metrics to monitor progress, surfacing slippage before it becomes a problem.
  • Lead alignment of the project team and hold contributors accountable to deliverables and milestones, while anticipating the next set of work.
  • Consult team members or leaders to identify risks and mitigation options; track and manage risks you've already identified through to resolution.
  • Communicate the project's vision and success criteria clearly to your project team and stakeholders, and re-evaluate strategy with guidance from leadership on when to pivot versus stay the course.
  • Ask the right questions to surface potential technical gaps, working collaboratively with engineers and applying a working understanding of sound technical principles.
  • Actively participate in cultural and functional excellence activities—such as Connect apprenticeship, diversity and inclusion programming, or hackathons—and demonstrate Airbnb's core values in everyday interactions.

Qualifications

  • Experience: Typically 2 years of relevant experience, with a BS or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
  • Program Management: Able to build a solid, realistic plan based on identified constraints and track progress using input and output metrics.
  • Risk Management: Surfaces dependencies and risks early, aligns the team on mitigations, and drives risks through to resolution with guidance from senior TPMs.
  • Technical Judgment: Comfortable working collaboratively with engineers; asks the right questions to surface technical gaps and evaluates solutions and tradeoffs.
  • Communication & Leadership: Strong written and verbal communicator who can clearly express project vision and manage deliverables.
  • Ownership: Takes ownership of programs and drives them forward, knowing when to resolve independently versus escalate.
