Our Mission
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”™"

The Director of Social Media will lead the vision, strategy, and execution of Tinder’s global social presence across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and emerging platforms. You’ll oversee a team responsible for content, community management, and influencer. This role is ideal for someone who can operate like a founder of Social at Tinder — building systems, setting standards, and driving cultural relevance. You’ll bring a “start-from-scratch” mentality while thriving in a high-growth, high-visibility environment.

- Develop and own Tinder’s global social media strategy, grounded in cultural relevance, platform expertise, consumer insights, and business goals.
- Rebuild and reinvent Tinder’s social presence with a fresh POV, modern brand voice, and platform-specific identities.
- Build frameworks for content planning, trend forecasting, calendars, workflows, and measurement.
Content & Creative Direction:
- Lead the creation of thumb-stopping, conversation-driving social content across all platforms.
- Partner closely with Brand, Media, and Product Marketing to ensure social reinforces brand storytelling and campaign moments.
- Oversee creator collaborations, influencer strategy, and social-first partnerships.
Analytics, Insights & Optimization:
- Build a rigorous analytics discipline across platforms
- Use data to guide content decisions, trend identification, resource allocation, and optimizations.
- Build and maintain reporting dashboards for leadership visibility.
Team Leadership & Management:
- Manage and mentor a team of Social Managers, Influencer Leads, and Community Leads, while developing scalable strategies to grow impact and reach.
- Foster a culture of creativity, experimentation, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Serve as the primary social voice across the company, partnering with Brand, Media, Comms, Product Marketing, and Legal.
- Develop agile processes for real-time reactions, cultural moments, crisis management, and proactive storytelling.
What We’re Looking For:
- 8–10+ years of experience in social media strategy, content leadership, or digital marketing.
- Demonstrated success owning social strategies for challenger brands.
- Proven ability to revamp or rebuild social from the ground up — shaping voice, identity, content streams, and systems.
- Deep understanding of TikTok, IG, X, YouTube, and emerging platforms: algorithms, formats, best practices, and cultural nuance.
- Strong analytical mindset with experience using dashboards, social listening, insights tools, and performance modeling.
- Exceptional people leadership skills with experience managing and growing teams.
- A creative thinker obsessed with culture: memes, dating trends, internet humor, creators, moments, and storytelling.
