Director of Communications, Tinder

• 10+ years in strategic comms, corporate comms, or brand reputation—preferably in tech, media, or high-growth environments
• Exceptional narrative thinker and builder who understands the nuance behind brand transformation
• Experienced in trust & safety, crisis, or regulated industries—or ready to learn quickly
• Strong writing, messaging, and media instincts, with an eye for what will cut through
• Comfortable working closely with executives and navigating complex organizational dynamics
• Calm, focused, and solutions-oriented under pressure
• Passionate about helping Tinder evolve in a way that meets Gen Z where they are—socially, culturally, and ethically
• If you can balance cerebral, high-context narrative work with fast execution—and if you operate well in ambiguity—this is the role for you
