Creating a sense of belonging doesn’t stop at our products - it’s the foundation of every team we hire. ## Role Overview We are seeking a forward-thinking Senior Director of Consumer Communications to redefine how Match Group brands show up in culture across Asia. This is not a traditional PR leadership role focused solely on earned media volume, but a strategic position that shapes cultural relevance, drives conversation, and builds meaningful connections with our users. This leader will shape and amplify culturally resonant narratives that connect deeply with Gen Z audiences — across social platforms, creator ecosystems, pop culture, emerging media formats, and evolving digital communities. You will architect integrated storytelling strategies that transcend traditional press coverage, blending earned media, social-first storytelling, cultural partnerships, and community influence to drive relevance and brand meaning. - Traditional PR KPIs: # of articles, Media reach, Tier 1 coverage - Future-facing KPIs: - Quality and impact of reach and coverage - Cultural conversation penetration and narrative adoption - Creator-led amplification and engagement - Share of voice within priority platforms and ecosystems - Depth of subculture and community ownership ## What You'll Own ■ Cultural Narrative & Positioning - Define and evolve Tinder and Match group brands cultural narrative across Asia, ensuring resonance with Gen Z and young millennials. - Translate brand strategy into culture-shaping storylines that travel across earned, social, creator, and entertainment ecosystems. - Anticipate cultural moments, tensions, and trends to proactively insert the brand into meaningful conversations. ■ Social-First Communications Strategy - Design comms strategies that start in social, not end there. - Ensure Tinder narratives are optimized for how Gen Z consumes content: short-form video, creators, podcasts, niche communities, and emerging platforms. - Design storytelling frameworks that originate in social, not just traditional media. - Partner closely with Marketing, Social, and Brand teams to ensure narrative cohesion across paid, owned, and earned channels. ■ Creator & Cultural Ecosystem Engagement - Develop relationships beyond journalists — including creators, cultural commentators, podcast hosts, community leaders, entertainment IP, and subculture tastemakers. - Identify new amplification nodes: digital-native publishers, newsletters, Discord communities, YouTube formats, etc. - Lead strategic partnerships that build long-term cultural relevance (not just campaign spikes). ■ Modern Earned Media Leadership - Continue to steward key journalist relationships and top-tier media strategy, but evolve success metrics beyond coverage volume. - Drive quality, sentiment, narrative pull-through, and cultural impact. - Integrate traditional outlets’ social extensions and digital platforms into comms plans. ■ Reputation & Issues Management - Lead crisis and issues management with a real-time, cross-platform lens (including TikTok, Reddit, X, etc.). - Develop proactive narrative guardrails and response playbooks suited for viral environments. - Partner with MG corp comms and legal to manage reputational risk. ■ Measurement & Impact - Redefine comms KPIs to include cultural impact, share of conversation, sentiment, narrative adoption, and social amplification. - Build reporting frameworks that connect comms to brand equity and business impact. ## Who You Are - 10-15+ years in communications, with significant experience beyond traditional PR. - Proven track record shaping narratives that resonate with Gen Z or digital-native audiences across social platforms. - Deep understanding of Asian cultural nuance across key markets (Japan, Korea, SEA, India preferred). - Strong instincts for internet culture, pop culture, and emerging platforms. - Experience integrating earned, social, creators, and brand storytelling into a cohesive strategy. - Has led crisis communications in fast-moving digital environments. - Executive presence — able to counsel regional leadership and global stakeholders. What Success Looks Like - Tinder is meaningfully present in youth culture conversations, not just media headlines. - Narratives originate in social ecosystems and travel outward. - Strong creator and cultural partner network across Asia. - Earned media reflects deeper storytelling, not transactional announcements. - Improved brand perception and cultural relevance among Gen Z audiences. #MG ## #LI-YN1 ## About Match Group ## Company Profile: Match Group Match Group is a publicly traded internet company that owns and operates a portfolio of dating and social connection apps, including Tinder, Hinge, Match.com, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, Azar, Her, Meetic, and The League.
