The Role:
About Tinder
Tinder, the most popular dating app in the world, is searching for a Senior Communications Manager to join the EMEA comms team, focusing primarily on the UK as well as proactively supporting the Nordics markets (Sweden, Denmark, and Norway).
Tinder has always been driven by youth culture, and today, Tinder is used mainly by Gen Z (18-25 year olds). This group continues to influence society and challenge constrictive norms in the most profound ways. No other generation has significantly impacted the workplace, retail consumption, technology, politics, and culture in the same way. It is this generation that we believe are driving the most change that we’ve ever seen in how we date, who we date and what dating is. Read more about how young people use Tinder today in “A Renaissance in Dating, Driven by Authenticity”, the second Future of Dating Report from Tinder driven by our Communications team.
There’s never been a more exciting time to work at Tinder. We’re doing something meaningful—helping people find their people. And talk about the people – Authenticity and Inclusion are hardwired here at Tinder. You’ll be proud of the experiences you help build for humans all over the world. We are on a course to redefine how young adults meet and connect today; if you want to be a part of that… keep reading.
The role
We’re on the search for a Senior Communications Manager with expert knowledge of the challenging and compelling UK media landscape. You’ll be an expert storyteller, knowing how to both promote and protect the incredible brand that is Tinder. You’ll be involved in all areas of the business, from company narratives to new feature launches, highjacking cool news agendas, to creating your own ‘tentpole’ moments.
The ideal candidate is a self-motivated individual and all-around team player. They’ll live and breathe the UK media, understanding what’s hot and what’s…getting cool. They’ll have a rich experience in consumer-facing brands and won’t be afraid to dip their toe outside of the British Isles and support the Nordic markets. Experience with Nordic media is a plus but not essential, as they’ll be wise to know how best to leverage campaigns and plans from the UK into other international markets.
As a generalist role, this role encompasses brand reputation-driving strategy (consumer-focused comms), product communications (new features, innovation, and trust & safety), and corporate communications (crisis, reputation management, and executive positioning).
This role is for someone who knows their stuff and wants to take their career to the next level. They’ll be helping to drive the strategy of one of Tinder’s most mature markets (the UK). Equally, they won’t be afraid to roll up their sleeves as they’ll be expected to handle media inquiries as well as agency management directly.
This role will report directly to the Senior Director of Communications, Northern Europe, and operate from our Central London office in a hybrid work environment, requiring in-office partnership 3x a week.
You Will:
- Partner with Senior Director Communications, Northern Europe on driving and delivering on Northern European communications strategies (heavily weighted to the UK) related to company narratives as well as new features and updates and ownable cultural moments.
- Collaborate across the Tinder team (EMEA and global) to support on integrated teams on key pillars including trust and safety, inclusivity and Gen Z audiences.
- Partner with teams across the business to build impactful integrated campaigns that make people sit up and take notice. Cross functional collaboration including marketing, social as well as working with comms team across our parent company (Match Group) portfolio.
- Lead and hande our “best in class” resources (like media monitoring, team critical metrics and media relations tracking).
- Directly engaging with media and external partners.
- Supervise agency resources and planning from daily management to coordinating global announcements, ad hoc news moments and reporting.
- Be the customer - understand everything there is to know about Tinder and able to tell Tinder’s story
You Have:

- One Team, One Dream Being a champion of simplicity, keeping communications clear and uncluttered while being resourceful enough to achieve significant results without the need for big budgets (to be clear, we still have nice budgets!).
- Your optimism is infectious, and your ego never gets in the way of the big picture - you operate with humility.
- Understand that communications as a profession is changing, and want to be a part of that change. You’re ready to explore new ways of breaking the routine.
- 8+ years experience (ideally) in both agency and in-house roles for a consumer-facing brand.

- Thinks beyond a press release, “gets” social and what makes a story travel
- Knows how to successfully manage an agency on a day-to-day basis, including writing strategic briefs/memos as well as decks for compelling plans
- Embrace our Differences You understand this is more of a generalist role oscillating between product, corporate, and trust & safety.
