- 6-10 years of experience in Accounts Payable and Procurement roles, including time as a process owner or people manager
- Proven success leading or supervising an AP function in a growing or mid-sized company
- Deep familiarity with end-to-end procurement, including vendor selection, contracting, POs, and approvals

- You’ll have the chance to build systems, lead people, and make a measurable impact on how the company operates day to day
- Lead the Accounts Payable function, overseeing invoice processing, payments, vendor management, and reconciliations with accuracy and efficiency
- Design and implement scalable AP processes and internal controls to support a growing, multi-entity organization
- Own the procurement lifecycle, from vendor selection and contract review through purchase order approval and payment

Our take
Grindr stands out as one of the foremost dating platforms, recognized for its role in fostering connections within the LGBT+ community. Initially conceived as a dating app tailored to gay men - an innovative concept at its inception - the company has evolved to embrace a broader spectrum of identities, proudly positioning itself as "the world's largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people".
Offering a complimentary version alongside premium subscription tiers like "Grindr Xtra" and "Grindr Unlimited", Grindr follows the familiar model of many social and dating applications, Despite facing competition from platforms such as Jack'd and Scruff, Grindr maintains its prominence within the market.
In the dynamic landscape of digital connections, Grindr's evolution from a niche dating service to a comprehensive LGBT+ networking hub underscores its enduring relevance. As it navigates the challenges of fierce competition, Grinder remains a pivotal space for individuals to forge meaningful connections and cultivate community within the LGBT+ space.
