Sr. Communications Manager

Sr. Communications Manager

In This Role, You Will

• Build and lead communications strategy for major feature launches, partnering with Product, Product Marketing, and Brand from early planning through launch day
• Translate product improvements into stories consumers actually care about, why a feature makes dating better, not just what it does
• Turn complex product areas into simple, credible narratives with clear proof points
• Spot creative, non-obvious angles in Tinder's product and behavioral data and turning them into pitchable stories that break through a crowded feed
• Request and scope data pulls with Analytics, and shepherd every data-backed claim through approval (methodology, sample size, sign-off) before it reaches a reporter or agency
• Packaging approved data and narrative for our PR agency partners to execute in-market pitch outreach
• Bring comms' perspective into cross-functional launch planning early enough to help shape the story, flagging early when a narrative needs more definition or a claim isn't ready
• Personally draft pitches and maintain your own press relationships

You'll Need

• 5+ years in communications, ideally spanning both product and consumer storytelling in consumer tech
• A track record of hands-on management of feature launches with cross-functional teams, from strategy through placement
• Sharp instincts for finding the signal in a roadmap or dataset before anyone else spots it
• A real read on how the media landscape is shifting, and genuine curiosity about newer formats like podcasts and social-first reporters, not just the traditional trade and consumer press
• Live media relationships. When a reporter emails, you're the one who picks up the phone
• Comfort being in the room early with Product, Product Marketing, and Brand, not just receiving a brief after the fact
• Enough data fluency to look at a pile of behavioral numbers or performance metrics and find the one angle that's a compelling story

Nice to have

• An agency background, and the hunger to grow inside a company that moves quickly
• Experience navigating claims approval processes at a consumer tech company (working with Analytics or Legal to defend a stat before it goes external)
• The range to work a product-feature story one week and a bigger brand or cultural story the next

Salary Range

• $155,000
• $170,000
• a year
• Factors such as scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate's work experience, education/training, job-related skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and business considerations may influence base pay offered.
