Sr. Manager, Corporate Communications
About The Position
Match Group is looking for a communications professional to support external storytelling efforts. You'll help translate what's happening at Match Group (and across our brands) into earned media stories that resonate externally and reinforce our mission of sparking meaningful connections for every single person worldwide. This is a great opportunity for a strong communicator who thrives in fast-paced environments and is looking to deepen their (already sharp) skills in executive and financial comms, media relations, data storytelling, and integrated campaigns. Know where you belong. Match Group is a leading provider of dating platforms across the globe. Our portfolio includes Tinder, Match, Hinge, PlentyOfFish, The League, and others, each designed to spark meaningful connections for singles worldwide. Creating a sense of belonging doesn’t stop at our platforms - 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 in our NYC office 3 days/week.
