Sr. Communications Manager

Match Group•New York, NY

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

This role exists to make sure the world notices. There's never been a more exciting time to work at Tinder. We're doing something meaningful, helping people find their people, and this role sits right at the center of that story: translating product innovation into narratives that break through, backed by real data, told with real craft. This is an opportunity to shape how Tinder shows up at the intersection of product and culture. You'll partner with Product, Product Marketing, Analytics, and Brand from the earliest stages of feature planning, not as someone who announces decisions already made, but as a communications partner in the room helping shape what the story is. You'll also own the data side of the story yourself: spotting the angle inside a behavioral trend, getting it approved, and turning it into a pitch you take to press directly. This role reports to the Head of Global Communications and operates from our New York office in a hybrid environment requiring in-office partnership 3x a week.

Requirements

5+ years in communications, ideally spanning both product and consumer storytelling in consumer tech
A track record of hands-on management of feature launches with cross-functional teams, from strategy through placement
Sharp instincts for finding the signal in a roadmap or dataset before anyone else spots it
A real read on how the media landscape is shifting, and genuine curiosity about newer formats like podcasts and social-first reporters, not just the traditional trade and consumer press
Live media relationships. When a reporter emails, you're the one who picks up the phone
Comfort being in the room early with Product, Product Marketing, and Brand, not just receiving a brief after the fact
Enough data fluency to look at a pile of behavioral numbers or performance metrics and find the one angle that's a compelling story

Nice To Haves

An agency background, and the hunger to grow inside a company that moves quickly
Experience navigating claims approval processes at a consumer tech company (working with Analytics or Legal to defend a stat before it goes external)
The range to work a product-feature story one week and a bigger brand or cultural story the next

Responsibilities

Build and lead communications strategy for major feature launches, partnering with Product, Product Marketing, and Brand from early planning through launch day
Translate product improvements into stories consumers actually care about, why a feature makes dating better, not just what it does
Turn complex product areas into simple, credible narratives with clear proof points
Spot creative, non-obvious angles in Tinder's product and behavioral data and turning them into pitchable stories that break through a crowded feed
Request and scope data pulls with Analytics, and shepherd every data-backed claim through approval (methodology, sample size, sign-off) before it reaches a reporter or agency
Packaging approved data and narrative for our PR agency partners to execute in-market pitch outreach
Bring comms' perspective into cross-functional launch planning early enough to help shape the story, flagging early when a narrative needs more definition or a claim isn't ready
Personally draft pitches and maintain your own press relationships
