About the role

  • Manage full‑funnel media strategy and planning across always‑on and campaign initiatives (brand, ROI, acquisition), spanning video/CTV, digital, social, audio, and emerging formats
  • Own and maintain global media investment and pacing, including annual and quarterly planning, budget trackers, and in‑flight reallocation to hit business, audience, and efficiency goals
  • Design and run structured test‑and‑learn roadmaps (creative, audience, channel, format, bidding, measurement) in partnership with Marketing Analytics and regional teams, translating experiment results into clear, repeatable playbooks
  • Set and maintain integration standards for media partners, including onboarding requirements, naming conventions, event mapping, and data quality expectations to protect and strengthen Tinder’s marketing data stack
  • Serve as day‑to‑day lead for our media agency and key platforms, providing clear briefs, feedback, and priorities; ensure accountability on performance, creative excellence, audience strategy, and innovation across partners.
  • Partner closely internal marketing teams to translate brand platforms into media‑first ideas (formats, flighting, context, creator strategy) and to ensure integrated storytelling across paid, owned, and earned channels
  • Collaborate with Creative on paid asset strategy and production, providing channel‑specific guidance on formats, specs, hooks, and messaging; influence how concepts are adapted for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, CTV, OOH, and more
  • Drive operational excellence in media, including documentation, QA processes, budget governance, and partner scorecards, so the team can scale tests, learnings, and best practices across markets efficiently

Requirements

  • 3+ years of paid media or performance marketing either in-house or for a media agency
  • Is creative, curious, and collaborative; you love solving ambiguous problems with cross‑functional partners and aren’t afraid to propose new ways of working
  • Communicates in a structured, concise, and insight‑driven way, especially when synthesizing data, framing trade‑offs, and making recommendations
  • Thrives in a fast‑paced, highly matrixed environment, with a strong sense of ownership and the ability to prioritize where media can have the biggest impact
  • Has a test‑and‑learn mindset, comfortable setting hypotheses, defining success metrics, and calling clear “go/stop/scale” recommendations based on results
  • Understands the full marketing funnel; from upper‑funnel brand building and consideration through acquisition, engagement, and monetization; and how media, creative, and product experiences connect across it
  • Brings a deep understanding of digital marketing and paid media, especially social/video, mobile app growth, and genz‑focused platforms, and how those levers drive user growth, retention, and revenue
  • Is highly organized and detail‑oriented, with experience building and maintaining media budgets, trackers, and documentation that keep large, complex programs on track.
  • Is excited to partner across disciplines (Brand, Social, Product Marketing, Analytics, Finance, Legal, PR/Comms, Regional Marketing) and comfortable influencing without direct authority
