Desirable

• At Tinder, Trust & Safety is foundational to what we do. As a Senior TPM, you will partner with Product, Engineering, Design, and Analytics, as well as cross-functional stakeholders from Ops, Policy, and Legal to build and scale the infrastructure that keeps Tinder a safe place to spark something new with someone new, protecting our members from bad actors, harassment, and fraud
• We are looking for a candidate who can synthesize fragmented threads and tasks, organize unstructured, ad-hoc work, and respond to rapidly changing priorities
• The ideal candidate will evaluate what’s working well from an execution standpoint and build on it, closing operational gaps and removing friction, while keeping all plates effortlessly spinning in the air
• Support end-to-end delivery for critical initiatives across safety product development, account integrity and identity, anti-abuse detection and mitigation, and moderation operations
• Own operational structure and hygiene by establishing consistent standards for tracking product roadmap initiatives, investigation findings, mitigation tasks, and infrastructure adjustments
• Partner with analysts, PMs, and engineers to coordinate the end-to-end lifecycle of abuse investigations—from initial detection through investigation, mitigation, and follow-ups—maintaining organizational visibility into progress and status
• Identify and coordinate inter-team dependencies while driving launch readiness and rollouts. You will own strategic alignment with key team members, including creating plans, managing risks, and refining communication models to ensure successful delivery
• Build and implement frameworks that drive operational excellence, systematically closing gaps and strengthening operational rhythms through subtle, high-impact refinements that don’t disrupt the team’s high-velocity culture
