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.

This role owns the brand narrative end-to-end – from insight and strategy through to creative development, media planning and post-campaign measurement.

Ensure localisation of global campaigns feel native, culturally relevant, and consistent with Tinder’s tone of voice.
Identify and lead brand partnerships, sponsorships and collabs that place Tinder at the heart of culture (music, sport, entertainment, communities).
Work closely with Social and Influencer teams so that content shows up best on our owned and earned channels, with ideas built for TikTok/IG first.
Champion IRL and hybrid experiential activations that create real-world connections and social storytelling moments for members.
Define clear KPIs (TOFU acquisition, brand health, usage, cost per Registration...) and measurement plans for all brand activity.
Partner with Data & Analytics to analyze performance, turning learnings into sharp recommendations and future tests.
Continuously test, learn and optimize creative, messaging, and channel mix to improve effectiveness and efficiency.
