Know where you belong! Match Group is a leading provider of dating products across the globe. Our portfolio includes Tinder, Hinge, Match, Meetic, PlentyOfFish, OkCupid, The League, HER, and others, each designed to spark meaningful connections for singles worldwide. Creating a sense of belonging doesn’t stop at our products - it’s the foundation of every team we hire.

When it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life (IRL). We think the same is true for creating the best platforms, so we work together IRL 3 days/week.

• Develop always-on and campaign plans with cross-functional and agency partners - driving the creative bar and ensuring integrated execution across functions

• Translate organic to paid content by working with media, brand, and creative teams to ensure a consistent flow of content into our paid flywheel

• Protect brand trust through social monitoring, triaging timely interactions, and execuing escalation protocols with cross-functional partners
• Protect brand trust through timely and accurate responses

• Build creator rosters aligned with each brand’s audience
• Coordinate creator and partner campaign execution, approvals, timelines, and performance tracking
• Nurture and support long-term relationships that strengthen brand affinity
• Execute partnerships and IRL activations that expand relevance, credibility, reach, and conversation
• Lead the connected 360 plan across social, community, creators, partnerships, experiences, and paid amplification.

• Collaborate with brand, insights, creative, PR, product, growth, and analytics
• Support agency partners and external vendors throughout campaign development
• Partner with analytics and growth teams to analyze results and identify actionable learnings
• Recommend optimizations that improve engagement, creator performance, and business outcomes
• Expected to measure and track KPIs across content and community performance, including engagement quality, organic and creator performance, sentiment, share of voice, content efficiency, and audience participation.

• 3-5 years of experience in brand, social, cultural marketing, partnerships, creator marketing, or adjacent disciplines
• Strong understanding of social-first storytelling and platform-native creative
• Demonstrated, hands-on content creation skills are required for this role - you must be able to independently concept, shoot, and edit content (proficiency with tools like CapCut, Premiere, Figma, or equivalent is expected)
• A portfolio or reel showing native social content you've personally created and edited (not just directed or briefed)
• Deep understanding of major and emerging platforms, distinct community dynamics per channel, and the agility to pivot strategic approaches
• Proven success building culturally relevant programs that generate conversation, engagement, and brand love
• Strong consumer instinct and cultural empathy across different audiences, communities, and subcultures
• Excellent communication and project management skills
• Ability to balance multiple brands and competing priorities
• Strong creative instincts, editorial judgment, and ability to move quickly on opportunity.

Our Values

• Take the Lead: We don't ghost our work or each other. Just as users don't leave their matches hanging, we don't let each other down.
• Move Fast:We have a bias for action and urgency. Something that could be done tomorrow would be better if done today.
• Better Together:We keep connection at the heart of dating and at the heart of how we work. Just as our users are better when they connect with others, so are we when we collaborate.
• Real Talk:We say the hard thing the human way. Just as we ask our users to behave with kindness and candor in our community, we expect all of us to do the same.
• Safety First:We act with integrity, transparency, and consistency so people feel safe- whether they're swiping, matching, or working alongside us.
• Spark Fun:We have fun to unlock creativity, fuel innovation, and help us build better experiences for daters.
