Airbnb Business Model Awareness Questions

Knowledge of Airbnb's core marketplace business, how hosts and guests interact, global operational realities, and examples of how procurement supports the business. Candidates should be able to explain procurement touch points such as operational supplies and services, partner and platform vendor relationships, regional regulatory and local market considerations, and ways procurement can improve host and guest experience while controlling cost and risk. Interviewers look for ability to connect procurement levers to company value drivers and to propose contextually relevant sourcing approaches.
