- Define how the team thinks about a problem that is still wide open, drive discovery in ambiguous spaces, and push the team to make opinionated bets rather than hedge.
- Reimagine how preferences work, not as static filters but as a living signal of what someone is actually looking for, balancing user control with what the system is learning over time.
- Surface the signals that matter, like effort, values, and intentions, so people can quickly understand why a match might be worth their time and feel confident acting on it.
- Partner closely with data science, machine learning, engineering, design, and research, and work across Recommendations, Growth, and Trust and Safety to create a consistent experience end to end.
- Communicate strategy, tradeoffs, and progress clearly to senior leadership and align teams around a shared direction.
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of product management experience in consumer tech, with a track record of owning high-impact product areas end to end.
- Proven ability to lead 0 to 1 product work in ambiguous spaces, turning unclear problems into concrete bets and shipped experiences.
- Strong intuition for how people form trust, read social signals, and make decisions under uncertainty. Experience in products involving choice, compatibility, or social dynamics is a plus.
- Comfortable working closely with data science and machine learning teams, with the ability to shape product direction without needing to be deeply technical.
- Proven results driving measurable improvements to core user outcomes.
- Exceptional ability to take messy, ambiguous problems and turn them into clear direction that others can execute against.
- Strong point of view on how AI tools can change how product teams work, and a track record of using them to raise the quality of output.

What We Do
In today’s digital world, singles are so focused on sending likes and looking through profiles that they’re not actually building meaningful connections and going on dates. Hinge is on a mission to change that by designing the most effective app experience. We want to create a less lonely world by inspiring intimate, in-person connections. Relationships are at the core of everything we do. And not just the romantic kind. We can't accomplish really hard things alone - so we make great relationships the foundation of our teamwork. We believe these three core values are what it takes to build those great relationships: Authenticity, we share - never hide - our words, actions, and intentions. Courage, breakthroughs require a willingness to take risks and embrace lofty goals and tough challenges. Empathy, we're all humans first. So we deeply consider the perspectives of others, listen openly, and speak with care.
Why Work With Us
We're mission-driven. While most apps think about boosting sessions and time on app, we think strategically about meaningful end results (dates and relationships). We're culture-first. We believe in great people over process. Decisions are pushed to the front lines, with feedback and coaching provided by our leaders.
