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).
