## Job Description

## The Difference You Will Make
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:

**Scaling the platform with Airbnb’s ambitions**
- Define and drive the long-term roadmap for the finance accounting platform, ensuring it can scale to support new product lines, geographies, and business models.
- Own prioritization across a high-volume platform funnel — balancing competing requests with clarity and structured decision-making.
- Continuously identify opportunities to optimize platform performance and reliability.

**Bringing new products to life on the accounting platform**
- Lead end-to-end accounting efforts for every new or evolving Airbnb product — from initial accounting impact assessment through solution design, engineering alignment, UAT, release coordination, and production normalization.
- Translate complex product changes into well-designed accounting workflows that record product lifecycle financials to Oracle FAH GL.

**Strengthening the financial foundation**
- Define and refine data pipeline monitoring controls.
- Support month-end close processes.
- Partner with Finance stakeholders to automate manual operational workflows.
- Improve the accuracy, timeliness, and reliability of financial data that flows across Airbnb’s Finance organization and beyond.

## A Typical Day
- Syncing with a cross-functional Product Manager from the Payments or Hotels team to understand an upcoming product change and assess its downstream accounting implications.
- Reviewing a technical spec with Data Engineering to align on the implementation approach for a new accounting workflow feeding Oracle FAH.
- Running a UAT session with Revenue Controllership and Tax stakeholders to validate that a new product’s financial lifecycle is being recorded accurately before it goes to production.
- Pulling and analyzing ad hoc data using SQL to support a Finance or FP&A team working through a close question or business case.
- Triaging and prioritizing new requests coming into the platform funnel — aligning stakeholders on sequencing and tradeoffs against the broader roadmap.
- Reviewing data pipeline monitoring alerts and working with engineering to resolve a control gap before it impacts month-end close.
- Leading a working session with Treasury or Collections to map out an opportunity to automate a high-touch manual process.
- Drafting a platform update for a senior Finance stakeholder that translates a complex technical change into clear business impact.

## Your Expertise

### Accounting & Finance Domain
- 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 quote-to-cash cycles, including reporting and reconciliation.
- Hands-on experience supporting B2C product workflows on finance platforms — ideally at a high-growth, high-transaction-volume technology company.

### Technical Depth
- 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.
- Deep understanding of big data principles — including distributed data processing, batch vs. streaming pipelines, data partitioning strategies, data lake vs. data warehouse architectures, and the tradeoffs between latency, throughput, and consistency at high volume.
- Strong grasp of transactional data characteristics — including event-driven data structures (bookings, cancellations, payments, refunds, adjustments), ACID properties, immutability of financial records, audit trail and lineage requirements, multi-currency and multi-entity data handling, and period-end cutoff logic.
- 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.
- Experience working with or alongside Oracle FAH, General Ledger, or equivalent ERP platforms.
- Ability to engage with technical design documents and align with engineering teams on implementation specifications.
- 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.
- Actively leverages AI tools and technologies to accelerate productivity, improve analytical workflows, and identify opportunities to automate repetitive processes.

### Platform & Product Management
- 6+ years of experience in platform management, product management, or technical program management with a strong 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.

### Communication & Collaboration
- 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.

### Education
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Accounting, Finance, or a related technical field.
