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. 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.

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.
