Experiential Marketer

Grindr • New York, NY

4d • $86,241 - $114,988 • Hybrid

About The Position

The Experiential Marketer will own end-to-end production of activations that bring the brand to life off-screen through pop-ups, stunts, events, and cultural moments that connect Grindr to its community in ways no ad can replicate. This is a high-ownership role at a company where the brand carries real cultural weight, and where the work you ship will be seen, felt, and talked about. This is a hybrid role based in our New York office and will require you to be in person Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Requirements

• 3-5 years of experience in experiential marketing, event production, or brand activations, either within an agency or in-house at a high-growth consumer company
• Demonstrated ability to help work with chosen production agencies on end-to-end production of live brand experiences, including vendor management, permitting, logistics, and onsite execution
• Strong budget management skills with a track record of delivering activations on time and within scope
• Clear communicator who can manage multiple external partners and internal stakeholders simultaneously without losing momentum
• Comfortable with occasional travel and onsite evening and weekend work during activations
• Based in New York City or willing to relocate

Nice To Haves

• Think about experiential with a growth mindset - you can articulate why an activation worked, what it drove, and how to make the next one sharper
• Have great taste and a strong point of view on culture and can recognize a Grindr-worthy moment before it’s obvious to everyone else
• Are energized by the scrappy end of production - you’ve worked with agency partners to figure out permitting on a tight timeline, solved a vendor problem at midnight, and shipped something great anyway
• Are AI-native or rapidly becoming so - you actively use AI tools in your workflow and are always looking for new ways to leverage them

Responsibilities

• Work with the team to plan and execute end-to-end production of experiential activations through pop-ups, stunts, installations, and live events - from initial brief through on-site execution and post-even wrap
• Help to source, brief, and manage external production partners including fabricators, vendors, agencies, and onsite staff, holding them accountable to timeline, budget, and quality standards
• Build and maintain production timelines, budgets, and run-of-show documents that keep complex activations on track across multiple workstreams
• Partner with Creative, Marketing, Comms, and Product teams to ensure each activation integrates with broader campaign moments and earns coverage beyond the event itself
• Track and report on activation performance - attendance, earned media, value, engagement, and budget accuracy, bringing clear learnings into the next brief

Benefits

• Health, Dental & Vision Full premium coverage for you. Partial coverage for dependents.
• Family Formation Up to $300,000 in fertility and family-building support, covering IVF, surrogacy, egg freezing, and adoption.
• Retirement: 401(k) with 6% match and immediate vesting.
• Compensation: Industry-competitive compensation, company bonus, and equity for every employee.
• Gender-Affirming Care : Industry-leading gender-affirming offerings with up to 90% cost coverage, access to Included Health, monthly stipends for HRT, and more.
• Time Off & Rest Flexible vacation policy. Two company-wide rest weeks per year.
• Other Benefits: Monthly stipends for cell phone, internet, wellness, food, and commuting, breakfast/lunch
