## Description

As Senior Compliance Lead, EMEA, you will own Airbnb's platform regulatory compliance program across EMEA, focusing on EU and UK obligations. 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.

A Typical Day:

- Own the EMEA compliance portfolio, establishing operating processes and documentation that sustain obligations at scale, and report and monitor status and risk.

- Deliver regulatory reporting and submissions, owning the annual and ad hoc reporting calendar end to end.

- Assess obligations and strengthen assurance, identifying new and changing obligations early, evaluating readiness, and recommending measures to meet them.

- Translate regulatory requirements into scalable solutions, defining product, engineering, and data requirements, and partnering with Product and Engineering to shape the roadmap and validate outcomes.

Your Expertise:

- 12+ years of experience in regulatory compliance, compliance program management, or regulatory operations, preferably in a technology platform or highly regulated industry.

- Proven track record owning a multi-jurisdiction, cross-functional compliance program end to end, with direct experience across the Digital Services Act, and the UK Online Safety Act.

- Hands-on experience with a recurring regulator-facing reporting cycle and relationship management.

- Track record partnering with Product and Engineering to deliver regulatory requirements into live products.

- Data fluency to define, own, and defend a reporting methodology to auditors and regulators.

- Familiarity with regulatory technology and automation tools.

- Ability to operate with a strategic lens, connecting regulatory requirements to long-term business objectives and functional roadmaps.

- Excellent communicator and negotiator, able to transform ambiguity into clarity, and move from complexity to consensus.

- Strong analytical skills and ability to design operational structures that balance compliance, risk, and scalability.

- Proven leadership growing and coaching high-performing, diverse teams; comfortable leading through influence as well as structure.
