About AirDNA

We built AirDNA to solve a problem: how do you make smart short-term rental decisions when there’s too much guesswork and not enough good data? What started in a garage in California in 2015 is now a global team helping thousands of people — from aspiring hosts to major real estate firms — make confident choices about where to invest, what to charge, and how to grow.

Our mission is simple: give people the tools they need to build freedom through short-term rentals. Whether that means buying their first Airbnb or scaling a portfolio, we’re here to help unlock financial independence and growth.

AirDNA is the leading data and analytics platform for the short term rental industry. We provide market intelligence that powers decisions for property managers, investors, hospitality brands, and destination marketing organizations (DMOs) across the globe. Our data covers millions of listings across 120,000+ markets worldwide.

The AirDNA team

We’re a curious, driven, and kind group of humans who genuinely love what we do. Our values - Happy, Hungry, Honest - guide how we show up for our customers and for each other. Want to see what that looks like in action? You’ll get a feel once you meet us.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if you don’t check every box. Passion, potential, and perspective matter here.

The Account Executive - DMO Role at AirDNA:

We are looking for a seasoned Account Executive who lives and breathes the DMO world. This is not a role where you learn the industry on the job. We need someone who already has deep relationships with DMO leaders, understands their challenges, and can walk into any conference room or stage and command credibility. You will own the full sales cycle for US DMOs, from prospecting through close, with a $500K annual new business quota. This is 100% outbound. No BDR support, no inbound leads. You build your own pipeline through your network, conferences, and personal brand.

How you’ll make an impact:

Own the full outbound sales cycle for US DMOs across all tiers (T1, T2), from first touch to signed contract
Build and manage your own pipeline through existing relationships, conference networking, speaking engagements, and strategic outreach
Represent AirDNA at every major DMO conference and industry event (TTRA, Destination International, state tourism conferences, etc.)
Speak on panels, deliver presentations, and position yourself and AirDNA as thought leaders in the DMO data space
Build your personal brand on LinkedIn with regular content about DMOs, short term rental data, and AirDNA use cases
Develop a deep understanding of each prospect's market, competitive landscape, and political dynamics to tailor every pitch
Collaborate with the DMO content marketer to ensure the team has the right materials for conferences, webinars, and client communications
Maintain a disciplined CRM practice in HubSpot with accurate pipeline data, deal notes, and forecasting
Provide market intelligence and customer feedback to the product and strategy teams to shape the DMO offering

We’re looking for someone with:

Proven track record of selling to DMOs, CVBs, or state/regional tourism organizations
An existing network of relationships with DMO decision makers (Research Directors, CEOs/Executive Directors, VP Marketing)
Experience speaking at industry conferences or events, comfortable on stage and in front of senior audiences
Deep understanding of the DMO landscape: funding models, board dynamics, budget cycles, COOP programs, and political pressures
Genuine passion for AirDNA and a clear understanding of why our data is superior for DMOs compared to competitors (KeyData, Zartico, Lighthouse)
Full cycle sales experience with a history of consistently meeting or exceeding quota
Self starter who thrives without BDR support or inbound pipeline; you create your own opportunities
Strong personal brand presence or willingness to build one actively on LinkedIn and industry channels

Bonus points:

Previous experience at a data/SaaS company selling to government or quasi government organizations
Familiarity with short term rental data, tourism economics, or destination marketing analytics
Experience with HubSpot CRM
Existing relationships with industry partners like Tourism Economics (Symphony) or similar aggregators
You've experimented with AI tools in your day-to-day work and are excited about what they unlock for sales
