The community you will join:

Airbnb is seeking Field Sales Interns to join the EMEA Services team for a 6-month internship.

Just like Airbnb disrupted hospitality, Airbnb Services is redefining the guest experience by bringing premium in-home services directly to Airbnb stays. Airbnb Services offers 10 categories (chefs, photography, massage, personal training, nails, etc.) across 280 cities, with new offerings and locations dropping regularly in the Airbnb app.

We're seeking a dynamic and people-oriented person to be the frontline voice of Airbnb Services in EMEA. This role focuses on the acquisition of key hosts in Paris, Milan, or Barcelona (depending on location of role).

As a field sales, you'll work on projects that cover the following:

• Lead Generation: Identify potential leads sourcing through online research, community engagement and local networking.
• Cold outreach: connect with potential hosts through mails, cold callings as well as in-person visits.
• Sales Pitches: Deliver persuasive in-person conversations to showcase Airbnb Services and its offerings, effectively converting interest into host submissions.
• Onboarding: Partner with cross-functional teams to facilitate the initial onboarding of new hosts, ensuring they are well-informed and equipped for success.

Your manager, team, and our incredible employee community will strive to be superhosts to you during the summer.

You can expect to:

• Collaborate with multiple team members to achieve project milestones
