The posting

Know where you belong!

Match Group is a leading provider of dating products across the globe. Our portfolio includes Tinder, Hinge, Match, Meetic, PlentyOfFish, OkCupid, The League, HER, and others, each designed to spark meaningful connections for singles worldwide. Creating a sense of belonging doesn’t stop at our products - 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 platforms, so we work together IRL 3 days/week.

Match Group Legal is creating a high impact commercial and ops enablement pillar – consolidating commercial contracting into a single, dedicated function serving our portfolio of brands, including Tinder, Hinge, Match, Plenty of Fish, OkCupid, The League, HER, and others, alongside powering our Legal Ops team. We're looking for a strategic, hands-on VP-level candidate to scale and lead this function: managing a small team of commercial contracting and legal ops professionals to strategically oversee vendor, SaaS/technology, and operations contracting matters across Match Group's global business, and legal operations matters, reimagining what both commercial contracting and legal-wide ops look like with AI in the loop.

This is a rare opportunity to help design and effectively scale a function rather than inherit one — consolidating work that today is spread across multiple brands and managers, building the team, tools, and processes from the ground up, and partnering closely with Legal AI Enablement to make this one of the most AI-forward legal pillars at Match Group.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

  • Own commercial contracting globally. Set the strategy for how Match Group drafts, negotiates, and manages procurement, vendor, and SaaS/technology agreements, balancing legal risk with the speed the business needs.
  • Oversee the Legal Operations function. Help guide an experienced Legal Operations team responsible for our contract lifecycle management, billing, and legal-tech tooling strategy and execution, including opining on how Legal Ops continues to uplevel the global Legal Team operation, putting AI and automation at the center of that strategy.
  • Reimagine commercial contracting with AI in the loop. Actively rethink how contracting work gets done and execute against that strategy. Leverage the ownership of Legal Operations and partnership from Legal AI Enablement to identify where AI can accelerate and automate stages of review, drafting, negotiation support, and risk triage, and championing adoption across the team.
  • Support central functions. Extend commercial contracting support beyond the brands to central teams including procurement, workplace experience, finance, real estate, and operations.
  • Build scalable processes. Develop playbooks, templates, and governance that improve the speed, consistency, and clarity of commercial contracting support across every brand. Then, leverage AI and automated processes to scale against these knowledge bases and templates.
  • Manage risk and escalation. Identify and escalate legal and business risk in vendor and procurement relationships, exercising judgment on when broader legal or business stakeholder alignment is warranted.
  • Partner across the business. Serve as a senior point of contact for procurement, finance, and vendor management, building trusted relationships with stakeholders across Match Group.

We Could Be a Match If:

  • You have 15+ years of experience in commercial contracting, procurement, or vendor management functions, including significant negotiation and people-management experience.
  • You have substantial experience managing or leading a Legal Operations function, ideally for a global Legal Team. You understand the Legal Ops industry, common practices, and where Legal Ops trends are heading and you are excited to uplevel a Legal Ops team, especially by levearing AI and increased automation.
  • You are a strong leader, communicator, and collaborator. You are invested in growing and developing people, including that you have experience leading and mentoring attorneys and building high performing teams.
  • You are a strategic, solutions-oriented thinker who can assess risk clearly and communicate in the context of business goals. You are intellectually curious, creative, and have a drive to win for the business and for your team.
  • You have in-house experience at a technology company, and thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment or multi-brand or multi-business-unit organization and are energized by working across a complex global organization.
  • You have deep experience negotiating and structuring SaaS, technology licensing, procurement, and other vendor agreements at scale.
  • You are genuinely AI-forward: you use AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, contract AI platforms) in your own work today, and you're energized by reimagining how contracting gets done with AI in the loop.
  • You have a track record of building or scaling a function and leading through change: standing up teams, templates, playbooks, and processes in a fast-moving environment.
  • You bring strong business judgment and executive presence, and collaborate easily with procurement, finance, real estate, and workplace teams.
  • J.D. from an accredited institution and an active law license (in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction) required.
  • You're comfortable with real autonomy — this is a newly consolidated function, and you'll help define how it operates.

What's the team like?

  • The position will be based in one of our Match Group offices in the U.S. (San Francisco, Palo Alto, Los Angeles, Dallas or New York City) and report to our SVP of Legal.
  • You will lead a team of 4 to 6 legal professionals.
  • We operate as one team, no ego, and titles stay at the door. We roll up our sleeves, support each other across brands and functions, and do what it takes to get the job done. We have extreme pride in our work and are invested in driving business results.
  • We lead with respect and compassion. We invest in each other through mentorship, honest collaboration, and a genuine commitment to helping one another find workable solutions. We believe our team is strongest when every member can show up as their authentic self and bring their unique perspective to the work.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
