Tinder
Our Mission
Launched in 2012, Tinder revolutionized how people meet, growing from 1 match to one billion matches in just two years. This rapid growth demonstrates its ability to fulfill a fundamental human need: real connection. Today, the app has been downloaded over 630 million times, leading to over 97 billion matches, serving approximately 50 million users per month in 190 countries and 45+ languages - a scale unmatched by any other app in the category. In 2024, Tinder won four Effie Awards for its first-ever global brand campaign, “It Starts with a Swipe”
Our Values
One Team, One Dream
— We work hand-in-hand, building Tinder for our members. We succeed together when we work collaboratively across functions, teams, and time zones, and think outside the box to achieve our company vision and mission.
Own It
— We take accountability and strive to make a positive impact in all aspects of our business, through ownership, innovation, and a commitment to excellence.
Never Stop Learning
— We cultivate a culture where it’s safe to take risks. We seek out input, share honest feedback, celebrate our wins, and learn from our mistakes in order to continue improving.
Spark Solutions
— We’re problem solvers, focusing on how to best move forward when faced with obstacles. We don’t dwell on the past or on the issues at hand, but instead look at how to stay agile and overcome hurdles to achieve our goals.
Embrace Our Differences
— We are intentional about building a workplace that reflects the rich diversity of our members. By leveraging different perspectives and other ways of thinking, we build better experiences for our members and our team.
Tinder is undergoing one of the most meaningful brand transformations in its history—and we’re looking for a Director of Communications to help shape the next chapter. This is a brand reputation role: a high-impact position for a communications leader who thrives at the intersection of narrative development, trust & safety, executive positioning, employer brand, and modern crisis comms.
You’ll report to the VP of Communications, Americas and work closely with senior leadership—including the CEO and executives across Product, Brand, and Trust & Safety—to help tell the story of a reimagined Tinder. You’ll also support comms around our new product principles and cultural evolution as we build a version of Tinder that better meets the next generation.
If you can balance cerebral, high-context narrative work with fast execution—and if you operate well in ambiguity—this is the role for you.
Where you’ll work:
This is a hybrid role and requires in-office collaboration three times per week in our Los Angeles California office.
What You’ll Own
Narrative & Reputation Communications
Help define and lead the overarching narrative that supports Tinder’s evolution under new leadership.
Drive messaging and media strategy around brand reputation, innovation, company values, and culture.
Connect Tinder’s product and trust shifts to broader conversations in tech, culture, and Gen Z life.
Partner closely with the VP of Comms to develop POVs and narrative arcs around product principles, safety imperatives, and cultural relevance.
Trust & Safety Communications
Lead the U.S. comms strategy for Tinder’s Trust & Safety work, highlighting innovation, partnerships, and user protections.
Translate complex safety policies and product features into compelling, accessible messaging.
Support platform launches and campaign moments that reflect our Safety Is Fundamental principle.
Own & drive the content strategy for the Tinder Safety Center
Executive Comms Leadership
Lead executive communications in partnership with the VP of Comms, shaping the voice and visibility of the CEO and other senior leaders.
Drive content development, craft messaging, and oversee coordination for speaking engagements and press opportunities—ensuring alignment with the company’s narrative, culture, and reputation.
Crisis & Issues Management
Support real-time issues management, including message development and internal stakeholder alignment.
Help build playbooks and processes for proactive and reactive reputation risk management.
Coordinate cross-functional response efforts with legal, policy, and Match Group counterparts.
Employer Brand & Internal Amplification
Lead Tinder’s employer brand storytelling across LinkedIn and other external platforms.
Work with DE&I, People, and Internal Comms partners to elevate our talent brand.
Curate and create stories that reflect who we are, how we work, and where we’re going.
What Makes This Role Unique
This is a growth opportunity to lead narrative strategy and special projects during a major brand inflection point. You’ll have a front-row seat to the transformation of Tinder—and the chance to shape how we show up in culture, media, and the broader conversation about connection and safety.
This role touches high-stakes moments but also requires high-conviction storytelling. You’ll move quickly, think deeply, and help steer a brand that has cultural weight and global scale.
Salary:
$180000-$200000 a year
Factors such as scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate's work experience, education/training, job-related skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and business considerations may influence base pay offered.
