The Strategy & Operations team is one of several central groups reporting to Match Group’s Chief Operating Officer. It plays a key role in shaping the company’s direction and supporting long-term success by providing the analysis, insight, and guidance needed for sustained growth and competitive advantage. The team also connects the company’s broader vision with day‑to‑day execution, ensuring that all parts of the organization work together toward shared strategic objectives.

Acting as an internal strategy consultant to senior leadership and Match Group brands, the Senior Manager leads or supports top strategic priorities across the company. They work closely with executives to define the company’s vision and convert it into actionable plans. Responsibilities include conducting consumer, market, and competitive research, identifying new business opportunities, building business cases, creating execution plans, and addressing ad hoc strategic needs.

This leader is expected to deliver results with integrity, prioritize stakeholder needs, and balance short-term actions with long-term goals.

The Senior Manager reports to the SVP, Head of Strategy and Operations, and collaborates closely with other S&O team members, executives, and cross‑functional leaders throughout Match Group as needed.

Match Group is a global leader in online dating, with a portfolio that includes Tinder, Match, Hinge, PlentyOfFish, The League, and others—each created to help singles form meaningful connections. A sense of belonging is central to our products and to our teams.

We believe that while online connections matter, the most meaningful interactions happen in person. For this reason, we work together in our New York City or Dallas offices three days each week.
