Description

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 Take the Lead We don't ghost our work or each other. Just as users don't leave their matches hanging, we don't let each other down. Move Fast We have a bias for action and urgency. Something that could be done tomorrow would be better if done today. Better Together We keep connection at the heart of dating and at the heart of how we work. Just as our users are better when they connect with others, so are we when we collaborate. Real Talk We say the hard thing the human way. Just as we ask our users to behave with kindness and candor in our community, we expect Team Tinder to do the same. Safety First We act with integrity, transparency, and consistency so people feel safe—whether they're swiping, matching, or working alongside us. Spark Fun We have fun to unlock creativity, fuel innovation, and help us build better experiences for daters. The Team or Role Tinder is investing in bringing people together beyond the screen. Our Tinder Events initiative creates curated, in-person experiences that give people new ways to connect — and we're looking for someone to help us scale it. The Sr. Manager, Partnerships & Operations will lead the local partnerships function within Tinder's Events team. You'll be responsible for sourcing, curating, and securing events with local venues, event creators, and third-party event platforms. You'll also own the operational side — building the processes, workflows, and cross-functional coordination needed to execute events and scale the program from a single-city pilot to a global footprint. This is a builder's role. You'll be standing up a new function, defining how it operates, and serve as a strategic thought partner to Tinder leadership as the program grows. You'll report to the VP of Business Development, support in sourcing larger partnership opportunities, as well as work closely with cross-functional partners across our marketing, legal, product, engineering, and design teams. Where you’ll work: This is a hybrid role and requires in-office collaboration three times per week in Los Angeles, CA, and requires approximately 25% travel to support new market launches, meetings, and on-the-ground execution for select events and partners. Commitment to Inclusion At Tinder, we don’t just accept difference, we celebrate it. We strive to build a workplace that reflects the rich diversity of our members around the world, and we value unique perspectives and backgrounds. Even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications, we invite you to apply and show us how your skills could transfer. Tinder is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace where we welcome people of all sexes, gender identities, races, ethnicities, disabilities, and other lived experiences.
