The Communications Intern will support the AMER Marketing team with media monitoring, drafting press materials, researching partnerships, and tracking campaign performance metrics for Tinder's brand presence.
Our Mission
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.
Program Duration
The internship program will run from June 1 through August 28, 2026.
Where you’ll work
This is a hybrid role that requires in-office collaboration three days per week in Los Angeles, California.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Communications Intern to join our AMER (Americas) Marketing team this summer. In this role, you’ll help amplify Tinder’s brand voice across press, media, and earned influencers in North America and Latin America. You’ll support projects that showcase Tinder’s role in culture, strengthen our presence in key markets, and bring creative brand collaborations to life.
This internship is a great fit for someone who’s passionate about storytelling, culture, and communications — and who wants to learn how brands build influence through media, creators, and partnerships.
What you'll do:
- Support the AMER Communications team in day-to-day media monitoring, reporting, and press tracking.
- Assist in developing media lists, coverage summaries, and performance recaps.
- Help draft press materials, talking points, and briefing documents for announcements and campaigns.
- Research and identify partnership opportunities with culturally relevant brands and organizations.
- Contribute to brainstorming sessions for brand activations, events, and collaborations.
- Support influencer and creator partnership initiatives tied to brand campaigns.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Brand, Social, Legal, and Creative to ensure cohesive storytelling across regions.
- Track campaign performance metrics and compile results into presentations and reports.
What we're looking for:
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Public Relations, Marketing, or a related field.
- Strong writing, research, and organizational skills.
- Familiarity with social media trends and emerging brand collaborations.
- Interest in learning how global brands craft narratives and partnerships across regions.
- Collaborative mindset with a curiosity to learn and contribute.
Nice to have:
- Deep Cultural Curiosity & Trend Fluency: Someone who’s always ahead of what’s trending, from internet culture and viral moments to music, fashion, and social movements. Ideally, they’re the friend who spots the next big thing before it hits mainstream, follows emerging creators, and understands how digital trends translate into brand storytelling.
- Hands-On Content & Media Savvy Experience running or curating content for a social media account, student publication, or brand (even a personal one). Bonus points if they’re familiar with TikTok culture, meme formats, or have a knack for crafting culturally relevant copy or visual content that feels of the moment.
- Media-Literate Storyteller: A true news and media junkie; they regularly read or listen to outlets like The Cut, WSJ, Vogue, or NPR, whether through Apple News, Substack, or Instagram. They can recognize how a brand story fits into the broader cultural and media landscape and have an intuitive sense for what makes something press-worthy.
Commitment to Inclusion
At Tinder, we don’t just accept difference, we celebrate it. We strive to build a workplace that reflects the rich diversity of our members around the world, and we value unique perspectives and backgrounds. Even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications, we invite you to apply and show us how your skills could transfer. Tinder is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace where we welcome people of all sexes, gender identities, races, ethnicities, disabilities, and other lived experiences.

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
