About Airbnb: Crafting Belonging One Stay at a Time
Founded in 2007 by two visionary hosts who opened their San Francisco living room to three adventurous guests, Airbnb has grown into a worldwide community of more than 4 million hosts who have welcomed over 1 billion guest arrivals across almost every country on the planet. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to create a world where anyone can belong anywhere. By providing unique homes, experiences, and a trusted platform, we enable millions of people to connect with local cultures, discover hidden gems, and feel at home wherever they travel.
Behind every memorable stay is a sophisticated ecosystem of data, product teams, and community advocates. The Frontline Insights and Execution (FIX) team is the heart of this ecosystem. FIX is dedicated to amplifying the voice of our hosts and guests, translating raw feedback into clear, actionable insights that shape product, policy, and process improvements.
