Our Mission:

Launched in 2012, Tinder® revolutionized how people meet, growing from 1 match to one billion matches in just two years. This rapid growth demonstrates its ability to fulfill a fundamental human need: real connection. Today, the app has been downloaded over 630 million times, leading to over 97 billion matches, serving approximately 50 million users per month in 190 countries and 45+ languages - a scale unmatched by any other app in the category. In 2024, Tinder won four Effie Awards for its first-ever global brand campaign, “It Starts with a Swipe”™

The Role:

We’re seeking a dynamic and motivated VP of Ghost Hunting to spearhead Tinder’s new ghost-hunting strategy to address and reduce overall ghosting behavior. Qualified candidates will show proficiency in tracking, mitigating, and providing solutions to this phenomenon where dates leave unsuspecting situationships on read.

In this role you will:

  • Drive Tinder’s efforts in getting to the bottom of ALL unanswered texts.
  • Lead a team of internet sleuths who will be following up, locating, chasing down, and finding daters who don’t text back.
  • Help identify and categorize different ghosters in the wild (breadcrumbers, submariners, zombies etc).
  • Rapidly iterate and refine tactics to seek closure. 
  • Perform emoji analysis. 
  • Respond to queries. Example: Find out if work was really “that crazy” that they HAD to stop texting you back.  
  • Work five days a week, plus weekends, holidays, and we’ll be honest…nights. A lot of nights. 

What we're looking for:

  • Analytical abilities, problem-solving, obsession with the truth, and a tendency to go deep into socials for a bestie.
  • Proven track record of being ghosted in a previous relationship.
  • An enthusiastic, passionate advocate for positive dating experiences. 
  • Able to provide references (who will actually text back.)
  • Can detect the difference between genuine interest and breadcrumbing.
  • Ability to analyze data and read through an entire job description to realize this is an April Fools prank.

Salary Range:

-
$5
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. This salary will be subject to a geographic adjustment (according to a specific city and state), if an authorization is granted to work outside of the location listed in this posting.
