Every day, hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.\nThe Community You Will Join\nThe Enterprise Operations organization is instrumental in powering Airbnb's growth and expansion at a global scale. Through AI- and people-powered operations, this team maximizes the effectiveness, utilization, and impact of our supply, ensuring hosts and guests can seamlessly connect.\nThe Supply Enablement & Activation team is a horizontal Center of Excellence within Enterprise Operations, serving as a strategic partner to global field and vendor teams by driving standardized strategy, tools, and best practices at scale. We turn our supply strategy into repeatable, scalable, best in class enablement deliverables - collateral, training, tools & workflows, and comms/change management -- for our sales & operator teams across each line of business: Homes, Hotels, Experiences & Services.\nThis role supports the API team, which sits at the heart of Airbnb's Supply strategy, managing the connectivity partners - property management software providers, channel managers, and distribution platforms - that power a significant share of our global inventory. These partnerships unlock access to millions of listings and directly shape the quality and reliability of the host and guest experience.\nAt the center of this work are our Connectivity Partner Managers, who own Airbnb's relationships with these third-party technology providers - PMS (Property Management System), channel manager, and revenue management tool vendors that hosts and property managers use to sync listings, calendars, pricing, and reservations with Airbnb. Connectivity Partner Managers are the primary point of contact for these partners: they ensure integrations meet Airbnb's connectivity standards, resolve sync and data issues, onboard new partners, negotiate partnership terms, drive adoption of Airbnb's APIs among software vendors, and work with Product and Engineering to prioritize roadmap improvements based on partner feedback.\nThe Difference You Will Make\nWe're looking for a seasoned Senior Enablement Manager to build and own end-to-end enablement for Airbnb's API team and Connectivity Partner Managers across AMER, EMEA, and APAC. This is a newly approved, full-time role created to close a resourcing gap: enablement support for API has historically been covered informally and part-time, and this role will stand up a sustainable, scalable enablement function from the ground up.\nThe core of this role is to enable our Connectivity Partner Managers to do their jobs more effectively and drive tangible impact. Connectivity Partner Managers own the full relationship with PMS, channel manager, and revenue management tool partners - from onboarding and integration standards to sync/data issue resolution, contract negotiation, API adoption, and roadmap prioritization with Product and Engineering. You will build the onboarding curriculum, training, playbooks, and certifications that ramp new Connectivity Partner Managers; keep them current on product launches, API versions, and roadmap changes; and equip them with the narratives, tools, and processes they need to manage partner relationships and escalations with confidence.\nThis is a highly cross-functional, more technical role than a typical field-enablement position - it requires deep, ongoing engagement with the Product roadmap and with Connectivity Partner Managers themselves, not a copy-paste of a direct-sales enablement playbook. You will own onboarding, training, and continuous development for teams supporting API partners; drive consistent acquisition, growth, and retention of high-quality supply; and localize global enablement programs for regional relevance. You'll partner cross-functionally to collect and share feedback, and use enablement tools and insights to continuously improve outcomes.\nA Typical Day\nOwn end-to-end onboarding and ongoing enablement for Connectivity Partner Managers, Enterprise Account Managers and the broader API Product and Enterprise teams globally across AMER, EMEA, and APAC\nBuild the ramp curriculum, playbooks, and certifications that get new Connectivity Partner Managers and Enterprise Account Managers up to speed on connectivity standards, partner onboarding, sync/data issue resolution, and negotiation processes\nPartner closely with the API Product team to translate roadmap priorities, new launches, and GTM initiatives into enablement content and training for Connectivity Partner Managers so they are fully equipped with managing partners effectively and shaping their behaviour \nRevive and scale partner-facing enablement channels, including webinars/webcasts on product releases and API versions, and enablement newsletters and comms\nLocalize global enablement content, sales pitches, and narratives to reflect regional market needs\nDesign and deliver role-based training programs and playbooks, for Connectivity Partner Management and Homes Enterprise Account Manager teams. \nPartner closely with Product, Sales, RevOps, Policy, and regional leaders to align enablement with business priorities\nDrive adoption of enablement tools (e.g., Highspot, Gong) and translate insights into actionable coaching and performance improvements\nLead enablement, including training delivery, for new launches and GTM initiatives in-region\nCreate structured feedback loops to bring Connectivity Partner Manager, field, and partner insights back to central/product teams and incorporate them into training materials\nTrack and report on enablement impact (ramp time, performance, certification, revenue impact)\nWhat Success Looks Like\nA scalable, repeatable enablement function stood up end-to-end for API Product and Enterprise Enablement\nFaster ramp time for new hires, with new hires consistently passing mock call certifications post-training\nValidated, up-to-date sales narratives and pitches in market\nLand successful API enabled launches inclusive of critical enablement deliverables for reps and connected hosts\nImproved conversion, retention, and revenue outcomes aligned to annual OKRs\nRegular, high-quality partner-facing communications (webinars, newsletters) that keep all teams current on product, technical and roadmap changes\nHigh quality scores across teams based on recorded call evaluations\nStrong adoption of enablement tools (e.g., Gong, Highspot) and a well-managed, transparent intake process\nTrusted partnership with API Product, regional, and global stakeholders\nTimely reporting and actionable insights that drive performance\nYour Expertise\n8+ years of professional experience, with at least 5 years in enablement, sales operations, or related roles in a fast-paced global environment\nExperience creating and delivering agile, AI-powered enablement content - narratives, sales pitches, talking points, objection handling, and standardized playbooks - preferably in the hospitality, travel, or tech industry\nExperience with API ecosystems, connectivity partnerships, or two-sided marketplace dynamics\nComfort operating in a technical, product-driven environment; ability to engage credibly with Product roadmaps and connectivity/API partner managers\nStrong analytical skills: proven ability to analyze large datasets, synthesize performance trends, and use data tools (Excel, Google Sheets; SQL proficiency strongly preferred) to drive decisions\nExperience supporting or adapting programs across multiple regions (AMER, EMEA, APAC), with sensitivity to local market and cultural dynamics\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills, including presentation skills to all levels of the organization\nStrong cross-functional influence and stakeholder management skills across Product, Sales, RevOps, and regional teams\nProject management experience: managing complex operational programs with clear timelines, deliverables, and cross-functional dependencies, including intake/triage processes\nKnowledge of go-to-market strategy and sales motions, with a solid understanding of revenue-driving metrics (pipeline, conversion, retention)\nAbility to prioritize and multitask in a dynamic, fast-changing, entrepreneurial environment\nPreferred (Great to Have)\nExperience carrying a quota in a Technical Account Manager, Connectivity Partner Manager, or similar partner-facing role at Airbnb or another technology-enabled marketplace\nExperience in the tech, travel, or gig/sharing economy sectors\nExperience launching new programs or standing up an enablement function from scratch\nExperience designing and executing quality monitoring programs (call recordings, scorecards, calibration) to drive consistent performance\nFamiliarity with enablement tooling ecosystems (e.g., Highspot, Gong) and Asana-based intake/workflow management\nYour Location:\nThis position is US - Remote Eligible.
