From the advert
Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.
The Community You Will Join
The Cities team leads the work necessary to implement the regulatory products and processes needed globally to comply with regulations, and does so in a manner that also sustainably supports Airbnb's growth.
Within Cities, this role owns Airbnb's platform regulatory compliance program across EMEA — the growing set of EU and UK obligations that sit alongside, and increasingly beyond, short-term rental regulation.
The Difference You Will Make
As Senior Compliance Lead, EMEA, you are the accountable owner for a portfolio of platform regulations that is expanding in scope, scrutiny, and consequence — including the Digital Services Act, the UK Online Safety Act, and more.
You will translate each obligation into a durable operating process, a defensible reporting methodology, or a product change — and serve as a trusted advisor to Legal, Policy, and Product leadership on how Airbnb meets its regulatory commitments in the region.
A Typical Day:
Own the EMEA compliance portfolio. Establish the operating processes and documentation that sustain obligations at scale, and report and monitor status and risk.
Deliver regulatory reporting and submissions. Own the annual and ad hoc reporting calendar end to end. Deliver against regulatory deadlines, and iterate so each cycle is faster and more defensible than the last.
Assess obligations and strengthen assurance. Identify new and changing obligations early, evaluate our readiness against them, and recommend the measures required to meet them.
Translate regulatory requirements into scalable solutions. Define the product, engineering, and data…
