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.
We’re looking for a dynamic and forward-thinking Senior Manager, Talent & Culture to lead talent development and culture initiatives specifically for Tinder, while operating as part of the Match Group corporate Talent & Culture team.
In this unique role, you’ll work with Tinder’s People Team and leadership to design, deliver, and scale programs that develop leaders, foster belonging, and support career growth - while also aligning with Match Group’s enterprise-wide talent strategy. You’ll act as the connective tissue between corporate and brand-level efforts, bringing an understanding of Tinder’s pace, product culture, and people needs.
This role blends strategic thinking with hands-on program design and delivery - ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves connecting dots across teams, and is passionate about building exceptional employee experiences.
When it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life (IRL). We think the same is true for creating the best teams, so we work together IRL in our Dallas or LA office 3 days/week.
What You'll Do - Tinder-Specific Learning & Leadership Development
- Lead the learning and development strategy for Tinder, identifying priority skills and building targeted solutions that support growth across functions.
- Partner with Tinder People Business Partners and leaders in Product, Design, Engineering, Marketing, and beyond to co-create learning programs tailored to the brand’s needs.
- Design and deliver leadership development programs for people leaders
- Facilitate team effectiveness sessions (e.g., DiSC, design thinking) and leadership offsites that strengthen team dynamics and trust.
- Create scalable, self-serve learning toolkits that meet teams where they are - fast, flexible, and tied to business goals.
- Partner with People Business Partners and leaders to identify capability gaps and develop solutions to address them.
Career Growth & Talent Development
- Revamp and evolve Tinder’s internal career pathways and job ladders, ensuring alignment with organizational structure, role expectations, and growth opportunities.
- Partner with Tinder HRBPs and leaders to embed career frameworks into development conversations and talent reviews.
- Provide manager training that increases transparency into career progression, pay practices, and market benchmarks.
Values & Culture Building
- Embed Tinder’s values into talent programs, onboarding, leadership development, and recognition efforts.
- Partner ERG leaders to build inclusive experiences that reflect Tinder’s diverse community.
- Support cultural rituals like Tinder Huddles and offsites that foster connection, belonging, and shared purpose.
- Lead engagement survey action planning efforts in partnership with Tinder leadership and Match Group resources.
Enterprise & Brand Collaboration
- Localize and deliver Match Group corporate talent programs (e.g., mid-level manager development, succession planning, mentorship) to meet the needs of Tinder’s culture and org structure.
- Identify Tinder-developed programs (e.g., onboarding, manager training) with the potential to scale across Match Group brands and facilitate knowledge sharing.
- Apply change management best practices to drive adoption of new talent programs across global and cross-functional teams.
Organizational Development & Measurement
- Partner with Tinder People leaders to design and facilitate team development sessions and leadership offsites.
- Use feedback from engagement surveys, talent reviews, and pulse data to evolve programs and measure effectiveness.
- Track and report on program impact, using data to inform decisions and shape future strategy.
We could be a match if:
- You have 8+ years of experience in Learning & Development, Organizational Development, or Talent Management.
- You have a strong track record of building and facilitating talent programs that engage people leaders and cross-functional teams.
- You have experience working across corporate and brand or business unit structures.
- You have ability to localize enterprise talent initiatives to fit the needs of a distinct brand culture and org model.
- You have a familiarity with performance management cycles and engagement survey design or follow-through.
- You have cultural fluency and the ability to translate values into actionable programs.
- You have exceptional communication, facilitation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- You have a builder’s mindset — comfortable iterating in ambiguity and scaling what works.
Nice to haves:
- Experience in tech or high-growth environments.
- Familiarity with systems like Workday, Litmos or similar HRIS/LMS platforms.
- Certification in leadership or team development tools (e.g., DiSC, Enneagram).
- Proficiency with authoring tools like Articulate or similar for digital learning content creation.
