TLDR

Own multi-market event partnerships, scale co-promo deals, and deploy AI-driven outreach to grow Tinder's in-person experiences.

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. 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. In this role, you will:

Manage a book of business across several markets, owning end-to-end relationships with event hosts whose recurring, relevant events are listed on Tinder
Prospect and close net new partnerships with local venues, event creators, and organizers using scaled, repeatable sales approaches
Secure co-promotion agreements with event hosts to drive mutual visibility and value for Tinder users
Build and iterate on market-specific playbooks that systematize how we source, pitch, and onboard event partners — so the model scales city by city
Leverage AI tools to accelerate outreach, event discovery, lead scoring, and relationship management across your book of business
Develop deep knowledge of local event scenes to ensure Tinder's supply stays fresh, trendy, and brand-aligned
Collaborate with the Sr. Manager and cross-functional teams on pipeline strategy, market expansion, and partner performance

A systems thinker who naturally builds repeatable processes rather than one-off deals

Nice to have:

Experience in nightlife, live events, or local entertainment ecosystems

Background with Gen Z or millennial consumer brands
