Manager, Corporate Communications

The corporate communications team is looking for a communications professional who is passionate about hands-on media relations and is eager to help tell Match Group's corporate narrative of creating connections and bringing communities closer together. This role requires strong writing and organizational skills, ability to work under intense deadlines and extensive relationships across the media landscape. Experience in crisis and/or Trust & Safety communications is preferred. To be successful, you will need to be comfortable working independently in a high-paced environment with cross-functional teams spread across various geographies.

Know where you belong. Match Group is a leading provider of dating platforms across the globe. Our portfolio includes Tinder, Match, Hinge, PlentyOfFish, The League, and others, each designed to spark meaningful connections for singles worldwide. Creating a sense of belonging doesn’t stop at our platforms - it’s the foundation of every team we hire.

When it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life (IRL).  We think the same is true for creating the best platforms, so we work together IRL in our Los Angeles office 2 days/week.

How you’ll make an impact:

• You will execute strategic communications campaigns, including developing messaging, drafting media materials and handling pitching/distribution across outlets.
• You will oversee communications materials including briefing documents, fact sheets and briefing presentations.

• You will function as the first level of response for incoming media inquiries. 
• You will monitor media and update executives on topical issues. 
• You will maintain and organize key team resources, drives and documents.

We could be a match if:

• You have a Bachelor's Degree
• You have 5+ years of experience working in a media relations or communications role, preferably a combination of agency and in-house.
• You have the ability to work with teams across various time zones and regions.
• You have superior research and written/oral communication skills.

• You have experience in crisis communications. 
• You thrive in high pressure environments, with strong attention to detail, problem-solving and strategic thinking abilities. 
• You are proficient in MS Outlook, Word, Excel, GDrive and other office programs.

What's the team like?

• This role will report to the Sr. Director, Trust & Safety Communications.
• We're highly collaborative and serve global stakeholders, so being nimble and organized is key.
• The Communications team multi-task in a fast-paced environment; they are excellent writers who are intrinsically motivated, detail-oriented and organized.
• We sweat the small stuff so others don’t have to—all while delivering high quality work.
