Community Crisis Investigator
About the role
Role focused on day-to-day crisis response within Airbnb's Community Crisis Management team, handling incident assessments, case management, stakeholder communication, and systemic improvements to prevent recurrences.
Responsibilities
- Assess incoming incidents and recommend whether a case meets the threshold for crisis implementation, drafting summaries concise and comprehensive enough that the decision-maker can act on them without sending them back.
- Outline and drive the case management actions needed for stakeholders to respond effectively, keeping the response moving inside the incident’s timeline.
- Research case precedent and consult stakeholders when a case does not fit an established pattern, and bring your recommended option with its reasoning rather than an open question.
- Prepare concise overviews and next steps for urgent, monitoring, or implemented cases, and note team updates or housekeeping items during regional check-ins.
- Draft crisis case communication for senior stakeholders, and supply the case detail and assessment that executive notifications are built from.
- Keep stakeholders and Global Crisis Management leadership current on case status proactively.
- Maintain regular cross-functional communication, come prepared to the agenda, and bring learnings back to the global GCM team.
- Flag where policy, product, or process failed the community member with enough specificity for the owning team to act.
- Keep the case management tool accurate for your own cases and raise data or backlog problems to maintain trustworthy views of the global caseload.
- Review peers’ assessments as a second pair of eyes before submission, checking for errors, missing stakeholders, and additional recommendations.
- Share learnings from cases and stakeholder relationships with the team.
- Contribute to team culture and a sustainable working environment.
Qualifications
- 6+ years of experience in customer support or front-line work handling escalated, sensitive cases, including crisis or survivor-facing work such as a crisis line, victim advocacy, emergency response, or trust and safety.
- Proven track record of working collaboratively with multi-functional leads in a matrixed organization.
- Experience working cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to stay focused with a calm demeanor in stressful situations.
- Ability to work a flexible schedule, including nights and weekends as needed.
