Strategic Partnerships Operations Manager

Our Mission

As humans, there are few things more exciting than meeting someone new. At Tinder, we’re inspired by the challenge of keeping the magic of human connection alive. With tens of millions of users, hundreds of millions of downloads, 2+ billion swipes per day, 20+ million matches per day, and a presence in 190+ countries, our reach is expansive—and rapidly growing.

We work together to solve complex problems. Behind the simplicity of every match, we think deeply about human relationships, behavioral science, network economics, AI and ML, online and real-world safety, cultural nuances, loneliness, love, sex, and more.

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 Team Tinder 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.

Tinder's Events program is building a new way for members to connect in person — and the operational backbone that makes it run is just as critical as the partnerships that power it.

The Strategic Partnerships Operations Manager will be responsible for leading the operational strategy and execution that powers Tinder's Business Development group, starting with the  Events Program. This role owns the operational infrastructure that enables scalable partner growth, ensuring efficient deal execution, operational excellence, and a high-quality event marketplace on the Tinder platform. Working at the intersection of Business Development, Product, Legal, Finance, and external partners, you'll drive cross-functional initiatives, influence operational priorities, and develop scalable solutions that support the continued growth and success of the Events business.

This is a hybrid role requiring in-office collaboration three times per week in Los Angeles, CA.
