Sr. Communications Manager

As humans, there are few things more exciting than meeting someone new. At Tinder, we’re inspired by the challenge of keeping the magic of human connection alive. With tens of millions of users, hundreds of millions of downloads, 2+ billion swipes per day, 20+ million matches per day, and a presence in 190+ countries, our reach is expansive—and rapidly growing. 

We work together to solve complex problems. Behind the simplicity of every match, we think deeply about human relationships, behavioral science, network economics, AI and ML, online and real-world safety, cultural nuances, loneliness, love, sex, and more.

• 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.

In This Role, You Will:

Build and lead communications strategy for major feature launches, partnering with Product, Product Marketing, and Brand from early planning through launch day
Translate product improvements into stories consumers actually care about, why a feature makes dating better, not just what it does
Turn complex product areas into simple, credible narratives with clear proof points
Spot creative, non-obvious angles in Tinder's product and behavioral data and turning them into pitchable stories that break through a crowded feed
Request and scope data pulls with Analytics, and shepherd every data-backed claim through approval (methodology, sample size, sign-off) before it reaches a reporter or agency
Packaging approved data and narrative for our PR agency partners to execute in-market pitch outreach
Bring comms' perspective into cross-functional launch planning early enough to help shape the story, flagging early when a narrative needs more definition or a claim isn't ready
Personally draft pitches and maintain your own press relationships

You'll Need

• 5+ years in communications, ideally spanning both product and consumer storytelling in consumer tech
• A track record of hands-on management of feature launches with cross-functional teams, from strategy through placement
• Sharp instincts for finding the signal in a roadmap or dataset before anyone else spots it
• A real read on how the media landscape is shifting, and genuine curiosity about newer formats like podcasts and social-first reporters, not just the traditional trade and consumer press
• Live media relationships. When a reporter emails, you're the one who picks up the phone
• Comfort being in the room early with Product, Product Marketing, and Brand, not just receiving a brief after the fact
• Enough data fluency to look at a pile of behavioral numbers or performance metrics and find the one angle that's a compelling story

Nice to have:

• An agency background, and the hunger to grow inside a company that moves quickly
• Experience navigating claims approval processes at a consumer tech company (working with Analytics or Legal to defend a stat before it goes external)
• The range to work a product-feature story one week and a bigger brand or cultural story the next
