Business Development Operations Specialist

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.

Tinder is investing in bringing people together beyond the screen. Our Events program curates in-person experiences that give members new ways to connect — and we’re scaling fast. The Business Development Operations Specialist is a contract role that provides critical and direct support, knowledge, curation, and management for the Events priority initiative.

In this role, you will:

• Knowledge and understanding of Gen Z trends and values
• Curation of a variety of unique events for all users, genders, and orientations

• Working with our direct partners on day to day comms, issues, questions, event curation, maintenance, in-app insertion and edits when needed

• You will be the main owner and directly responsible individual for a subset of cities or MG brands and their ongoing event inventory
• This means consistently, on a day to day basis, owning the selection, curation, copy, image, insertion, and editing of each event in your city

• Be able to quickly distinguish and evaluate all qualities and factors of an event that will or won’t appeal to Tinder users

• Two (2) contractors will be based in or around Los Angeles, with a willingness to work in our West Hollywood office three (3) days per week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

You'll need:

• Bachelors Degree
• Experience planning small-to-mid-size events, especially for Gen Z
• Experience with high volume metadata and asset management
• Fluent in TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, including formats, trends, and what actually performs with Gen Z
• A pulse on culture, creators, and what makes a partnership feel authentic rather than transactional
