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.

Tinder is undergoing one of the most meaningful brand transformations in its history—and we’re looking for a Director of Communications to help shape the next chapter. This is a brand reputation role : a high-impact position for a communications leader who thrives at the intersection of narrative development, trust & safety, executive positioning, employer brand, and modern crisis comms.

You’ll report to the VP of Communications, Americas and work closely with senior leadership—including the CEO and executives across Product, Brand, and Trust & Safety—to help tell the story of a reimagined Tinder. You’ll also support comms around our new product principles and cultural evolution as we build a version of Tinder that better meets the next generation.

If you can balance cerebral, high-context narrative work with fast execution—and if you operate well in ambiguity—this is the role for you.

Where you’ll work : This is a hybrid role and requires in-office collaboration three times per week in our Los Angeles California office.

What You’ll Own

• Narrative & Reputation Communications
• Help define and lead the overarching narrative that supports Tinder’s evolution under new leadership.
• Drive messaging and media strategy around brand reputation, innovation, company values, and culture.
• Connect Tinder’s product and trust shifts to broader conversations in tech, culture, and Gen Z life.
• Partner closely with the VP of Comms to develop POVs and narrative arcs around product principles, safety imperatives, and cultural relevance.
