Sr. Technical Program Manager, Events (IRL)
Match Group•Los Angeles, CA

About The Position
At Tinder, we're investing in a new way for our users to spark something new with someone new: IRL events. Events break the dating app paradigm of swipe, match, chat– introducing discovery anchored to real-world experiences, surfacing the coolest events and places in every city with the ability to connect with who’s in the room before, during, and after. As Senior TPM, you will own the cross-functional operating model for this fast-paced team, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Design, Analytics, BD, Partnerships, Event Ops, and Marketing leadership to bring clarity to ambiguity, structure to rapidly evolving plans and priorities, and deliver incredible user experiences at global scale.
Requirements
- 6+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, preferably supporting a live events, marketplace, event aggregation, ticketing, or two-sided supply-and-demand product.
- Demonstrated success in partnering with both product/engineering teams and business teams (partnerships, BD, marketing), cultivating strong cross-functional relationships and influencing outcomes in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
- An ability to make sound decisions with incomplete information, an entrepreneurial mindset, and persistent execution.
- Proven ability to distill complex requirements from multiple stakeholders into actionable project plans.
- Experience building delivery plans, dependency maps, and risk registers for programs spanning multiple engineering platforms.
- Proven ability to define and stand up an operating model for a 0-to-1 or rapidly scaling program, not just execute one that already exists.
- Expert-level proficiency managing cross-functional projects using collaboration tools such as JIRA, Confluence, Google Suite, and Figma.
- Strong track record managing multi-market or multi-region launches.
- Expertise in agile methodologies and a deep understanding of software development best practices.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with international/localization go-to-market processes.
- Experience integrating with or managing third-party supply partners via API-based licensing agreements (e.g., content or inventory feeds from external platforms).
- Experience leveraging AI-powered tools to automate routine program management tasks and accelerate cross-functional communication.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end delivery of the Events product roadmap, including in-app features and operational tooling (event management and publishing), tracking milestones, aligning dependencies, and mitigating risks across mobile, backend, and web engineering teams.
- Act as the connective tissue across Product, Engineering, Partnerships, Marketing, BD, and Event Operations leads to drive cross-functional alignment on the product roadmap and major launches (new markets, new partners, new product experiences), developing and overseeing project timelines to ensure on time delivery.
- Define the operating model for the Events program, determining what rhythms, artifacts, and checkpoints teams actually need as the product scales.
- Proactively identify and resolve issues by coordinating with teams to determine solutions and prioritize tasks, while maintaining a high bar for both quality and velocity.
- Provide clear, timely communications to the executive and senior leadership team on program health, including translating technical tradeoffs and delivery risks into recommendations that shape decisions, not just status updates.
