Quality Assurance & Standards Manager

The Community You Will Join: 

Every day, Airbnb hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way. Since our founding, more than 5 million hosts have welcomed over 1.5 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Airbnb Experiences are completely reimagined experiences, hosted by local people, brands, businesses and content creators who know their city best. Every activity offers guests an authentic way to connect with the place they're in and to meet people with shared interests.

Fraud & Safety Delivery (FSD) is at the heart of keeping Airbnb safe for the millions of hosts and guests who trust our platform every day. As part of Global Operations, FSD investigates and enforces on fraud and safety cases across the full user lifecycle, from account creation to post-stay, leveraging a team of internal and partner specialists operating 24/7 across the globe. We're entering a new chapter: building AI-native, self-service operational infrastructure that lets our teams move faster, make better decisions, and focus their energy where it matters most.

This role sits within Scaled Services, the team that owns the foundational capabilities the entire FSD organization depends on: how we launch, how we measure quality, how we build tools, and how we use data.

The Difference You Will Make:

Fraud and Safety Delivery is judgment work at scale. Our specialists weigh incomplete evidence and make consequential calls about accounts, listings, and bookings thousands of times a day, across many risk domains across the globe. Precision matters in both directions: a missed signal puts our community at risk, and an incorrect enforcement affects someone's livelihood or their travel plans.

As the Senior Program Manager, Quality Assurance & Standards, you'll build FSD's quality program, not an audit function that scores specialists against a checklist, but a measurement system that tells the organization how accurate its decisions are, where quality breaks down, and what to change. You'll design and stand up that framework while running the quality reviews the organization depends on today, reporting to the Senior Manager, Scaled Services.

You'll own three outcomes for the org:

• A quality framework we can defend: One documented model that measures both workflow adherence and decision quality, with published standards, thresholds, and severity definitions across every risk domain.
• Objective, centralized governance: Serve as the impartial quality authority across FSD, setting consistent standards that hold up across domains, sites, and geographies.
• Measurable improvement in decision accuracy: Fewer incorrect enforcement outcomes, diagnosed at root cause and fixed at the source, without adding cost or handling time to the operation.
