Job Description:

Job Description Job Description This role is ideal for a strategic builder and facilitator who thrives at the intersection of learning, leadership, and business impact. You’ll design and deliver transformative learning experiences that shape how leaders at all levels — including Directors through C-Suite — think, operate, and grow. The right candidate combines strong program design, facilitation mastery, and operational rigor with the ability to influence senior stakeholders across a fast-moving, global, and tech-driven organization. This is a high-impact opportunity to shape how leaders across some of the world’s most iconic brands learn, lead, and grow. You’ll help senior leaders cut through complexity, build clarity, and move fast — all while fostering a culture of curiosity, accountability, and impact. If you’re an experienced facilitator and strategic operator who loves translating ideas into practical, high-impact learning for leaders — we’d love to meet you. This role requires travel to facilitate sessions—estimated at ~10-20% annually—to key hub cities including Dallas, LA, New York, Vancouver, and Paris. Know where you belong. Match Group is a leading provider of dating services 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 teams, so we work together IRL in our Dallas or LA office 3 days/week.

Model executive presence and adaptive facilitation — able to pivot discussions, draw insights from experienced audiences, and connect concepts to real-world challenges. Lead and mentor facilitators or vendor partners, ensuring a consistent voice and experience across all programs.
