> Drive Airbnb's incubation engine by owning product vision, strategy, and roadmaps for multiple 0-to-1 new business ideas.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Define and drive the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for multiple incubation tracks simultaneously.
- Translate new business ideas and hypotheses into clear MVP scopes, leveraging the Guest App’s configurable platform components wherever possible to minimize engineering investment.
- Design and run pilots with clearly defined success criteria and measurable OKRs; synthesize learnings quickly and make data-driven graduate/expand/stop recommendations.
- Build strong working relationships with business development, partnerships, and external partners to ensure new offerings integrate seamlessly into the guest experience.
- Craft compelling product narratives for new incubations — for internal leadership alignment and for external launch communications.
- Develop and maintain a prioritization framework that balances multiple concurrent incubation tracks against core product demands.
- Foster open communication and curiosity across a scrappy, fast-moving team.
- Operate with speed and quality, shipping features, learning, and iterating with high throughput.

## Requirements
- 10+ years of consumer product management experience.
- Track record of taking 0→1 product ideas through incubation, piloting, and graduation to scaled products — at a consumer internet company, marketplace, or equivalent.
- Strong business acumen: ability to rapidly assess business viability, size opportunities, and translate loosely-defined hypotheses into testable MVP scopes.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity; able to structure new problem spaces into actionable roadmaps with minimal process.
- Experience managing multiple concurrent workstreams with competing priorities and tight timelines.
- Excellent cross-functional collaboration and communication skills across business, partnerships, engineering, design, and data science.
- Experience developing product narratives and working with marketing and communications to bring new offerings to market.
- Comfortable doing hands-on individual contributor product work and mastering the details in a scrappy environment.
- Demonstrated curiosity and point of view on incorporating AI tools into the product workflow.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with marketplace or travel/hospitality products.
- Background in new business development, venture, or startup-style teams within a larger organization.
- Familiarity with platform-based product development (configurable components, merchandising systems, API partner integrations).
- Experience building products powered by partnerships or external API integrations.
