VP, Business Development

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”™

We work hand-in-hand, building Tinder for our members. We succeed together when we work collaboratively across functions, teams, and time zones, and think outside the box to achieve our company vision and mission.

We take accountability and strive to make a positive impact in all aspects of our business, through ownership, innovation, and a commitment to excellence.

We cultivate a culture where it’s safe to take risks. We seek out input, share honest feedback, celebrate our wins, and learn from our mistakes in order to continue improving.

We’re problem solvers, focusing on how to best move forward when faced with obstacles. We don’t dwell on the past or on the issues at hand, but instead look at how to stay agile and overcome hurdles to achieve our goals.

We are intentional about building a workplace that reflects the rich diversity of our members. By leveraging different perspectives and other ways of thinking, we build better experiences for our members and our team.

We are seeking a Vice President of Business Development to architect and scale our external ecosystem through transformative product partnerships, high-impact distribution deals, and by identifying new revenue driving or other strategic opportunities. This role is responsible for defining how we partner with the world to accelerate innovation, deepen cultural relevance, and drive sustainable growth. This role defines how we grow beyond our walls. Product partnerships will shape how users experience and perceive us, while distribution partnerships will extend our reach and accelerate scale. This leader will balance long-term vision with near-term execution, translating external opportunity into durable competitive advantage. This role operates at the center of the company, owning initiatives from conception, and partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, Analytics, Legal, and Finance to execute and influence strategy and outcomes. 

At Tinder, we don’t just accept difference, we celebrate it. We strive to build a workplace that reflects the rich diversity of our members around the world, and we value unique perspectives and backgrounds. Even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications, we invite you to apply and show us how your skills could transfer. Tinder is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace where we welcome people of all sexes, gender identities, races, ethnicities, disabilities, and other lived experiences.
