Senior Technical Program Manager (Recs, Revenue, and Engagement)

• At Tinder, our Recs, Revenue, and Engagement teams play a mission-critical role in shaping the core user experience by helping people “spark something new with someone new” through personalized recommendations, bringing users back at the right moment, and making sure they succeed once they’re here
• As Senior TPM, you will drive high-impact, cross-functional programs across these three teams while keeping each team’s day-to-day operations running smoothly
• You’ll partner with Product, Engineering, Design, and Analytics, along with Legal, Finance, Marketing, and Localization, to bring structure to rapidly evolving plans and priorities, resolve dependencies before they become blockers, and deliver incredible user experiences at global scale
• Own end-to-end delivery for high-impact programs across Recs, Revenue, and Engagement from planning through launch, including the ongoing development of recommendation infrastructure and models for Recs; subscription, payments, and ads programs for Revenue; and lifecycle messaging and the CRM platform for Engagement

• Proactively identify and resolve issues by coordinating with teams to determine solutions and prioritize tasks; collaborate with teams as needed to improve existing processes while maintaining a high bar for both quality and velocity
• Provide clear, timely communications to executive and senior leadership on program health, including mission reports, status updates, and escalations that come with a recommended path forward, not just a status
