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 looking for a Sr. Product Manager, Recommendations Cross-Surface Personalization to lead how Tinder’s recommendation system connects with other product surfaces and teams.

Tinder’s Recs system powers who members see, when, and why. But true personalization requires coordination not just within Recs, but across the product ecosystem. In this role, you’ll be responsible for making it easier for other Tinder teams to use Recs data, insights, and personalization in their products. You’ll also ensure the Recs team can support and prioritize requests from other pods, building processes that help everyone work faster and deliver the right solutions.

You’ll partner closely with cross pillar teams and Data Science, ML and Recs Engineering, to ensure that Recs data, models, and insights are used consistently and effectively across Tinder.

The ideal candidate is strategic and highly cross-functional, someone who thrives at connecting dots across systems, teams, and goals. You’ll balance short-term coordination with long-term strategy to ensure Recs intelligence is powering every major user touchpoint in a consistent, scalable, and measurable way.

This is a hybrid role and requires in-office collaboration. This position is based in Palo Alto, CA.
