About the role

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.

We think the same is true for creating the best platforms, so we work together IRL 3 days/week.

Establish a scalable operating model that aligns technical capacity to the highest-value brand and portfolio needs.

• Organic Growth & AI Discovery: Position Match Group for the next era of organic discovery by building a centralized capability across SEO, ASO, GEO, and AI Search. Develop the team, tooling, and playbooks that help brands act on emerging opportunities and scale learning across the portfolio.

• AI-Powered Growth Operations: Build on our early momentum to scale AI-enabled capabilities across campaign automation and performance intelligence.Identify and advance human-in-the-loop and agentic solutions that improve how Growth teams plan, execute, and make decisions.

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with brand and functional leaders across Marketing, Product, Engineering, Data, Analytics, and AI/ML to identify high-value opportunities and mobilize teams to bring them to life. Build alignment around shared priorities and connect expertise across the organization to accelerate impact.
