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.
Our Values
- Take the Lead: We don't ghost our work or each other. Just as users don't leave their matches hanging, we don't let each other down.
- Move Fast: We have a bias for action and urgency. Something that could be done tomorrow would be better if done today.
- Better Together: We keep connection at the heart of dating and at the heart of how we work. Just as our users are better when they connect with others, so are we when we collaborate.
- Real Talk: We say the hard thing the human way. Just as we ask our users to behave with kindness and candor in our community, we expect Team Tinder to do the same.
- Safety First: We act with integrity, transparency, and consistency so people feel safe—whether they're swiping, matching, or working alongside us.
- Spark Fun: We have fun to unlock creativity, fuel innovation, and help us build better experiences for daters.
Tinder's Events program is building a new way for members to connect in person — and the operational backbone that makes it run is just as critical as the partnerships that power it.
The BD Operations Analyst, Events Program is an IC role responsible for keeping deal flow moving, contracts clean, and event supply healthy on the Tinder platform. You'll sit at the intersection of the BD team, our event host partners, and the product team — ensuring that what gets sourced in the field actually shows up in the app, accurately and on time.
This is a detail-oriented, systems-driven role for someone who takes pride in making complex workflows run smoothly. You'll report to the Sr. Manager, Partnerships & Operations and collaborate daily with BD Managers, Legal, Finance, and Product.
This is a hybrid role requiring in-office collaboration three times per week in Los Angeles, CA.
In this role, you will:
Operationalize deal flow across the Events BD team — tracking pipeline stages, maintaining CRM hygiene, and ensuring clean handoffs from sourcing through activation
Manage the contract lifecycle for event host partnerships, including routing agreements for approval, coordinating payment processing, and maintaining accurate records
Build and maintain relationships with existing event host partners, acting as a key point of contact for renewals, recurring deal logistics, and day-to-day questions
Partner with the product team to manage event supply within the Tinder app — coordinating on listings, status updates, scheduling changes, and content accuracy
Own quality control processes: review active and incoming event listings for brand alignment, content accuracy, and compliance with Tinder's policies
Maintain clean, reliable data across partnership systems; build and distribute regular reports on supply health, partner activity, and deal metrics
Identify operational gaps and propose scalable solutions as the program expands to new markets
Support the broader BD team with ad hoc research, partner communications, and administrative workflows as needed
You'll need:
2–4 years of experience in operations, partnerships coordination, account management, or a similar detail-oriented role
Strong organizational skills with experience managing contracts, payments, or vendor/partner processes
Analytical mindset — comfortable working in spreadsheets, CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar), and data reporting tools
Clear, professional communicator who can manage multiple internal and external stakeholders simultaneously
Proactive, process-improvement mindset — you spot gaps before they become problems
Ability to work cross-functionally with BD, Legal, Finance, and Product teams
Nice to have:
Experience in the events, entertainment, hospitality, or consumer marketplace industries
Familiarity with contract management or payment processing tools (e.g., DocuSign, Coupa, or similar)
Background working in a coordinating or operational capacity alongside product or engineering teams
Experience supporting a multi-market or high-volume partner portfolio
As a full-time employee, you’ll enjoy:
Flexible Vacation, 10 Sick Days
Time off to volunteer and charitable donations matched up to $15,000 annually
Comprehensive health, vision, and dental coverage
100% 401(k) employer match up to 10%, Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
