Hinge is the dating app designed to be deleted
In today's digital world, finding genuine relationships is tougher than ever. At Hinge, we’re on a mission to inspire intimate connection to create a less lonely world. We’re obsessed with understanding our users’ behaviors to help them find love, and our success is defined by one simple metric– setting up great dates. With millions of users across the globe, we’ve become the most trusted way to find a relationship, for all.
About the Role:
Our mission is to help more people get on meaningful dates. Within that mission, the new user experience is where belief begins. We want new daters to see how Hinge can help them find meaningful connections, right from the start.
As Lead Product Manager, New User Experience, you’ll shape how Hinge earns trust from day one. You’ll design experiences that adapt and personalize quickly for different types of users, whether new to dating apps or returning to try helping each person see early proof that Hinge understands them.
You’ll partner closely with our Growth, Trust and Safety, and Recommendations teams to solve cold-start challenges - how to make the first few recommendations feel relevant before the system has much to go on, and how to make the early experience feel rewarding and exciting.
Responsibilities
- Build the long term strategy and roadmap for how Hinge personalizes and accelerates belief in the new user journey
- Lead discovery and rapid experimentation across key moments in the early dating journey.
- Partner with design, research, data science, and engineering to explore how personalization and empathetic design can improve outcomes.
- Use data and user insights to guide decisions and shape a focused roadmap.
- Work closely with engineering to translate ideas into high-impact product solutions.
- Communicate priorities and tradeoffs clearly across teams and leadership.
- Collaborate across Hinge to ensure a cohesive, emotionally intelligent, trustworthy product experience.
- Partner with Marketing to align product and go-to-market strategies that attract and activate new users, including those new to dating apps.
- Coach and mentor other PMs on structured discovery, decision-making, and hypothesis-led development.
What We’re Looking For
- 8+ years of product management experience in consumer tech, ideally in personalization or social-driven products.
- A track record of 0–1 discovery and launches that drive measurable outcomes.
- Experience building adaptive or ML-informed experiences that solve cold-start challenges.
- Expertise at running hypothesis-driven experiments and making decisions with limited data.
- Bias for action and ability to lead multi-quarter workstreams with clarity and momentum.
- Strong intuition for user experience, storytelling, and emotional design.
- Excellent communicator who brings clarity to complex spaces and influences across teams to drive impact at scale.
- Curiosity about culture and how people form connections today.
- Excitement for Hinge’s mission to help people meet meaningfully.
Studies show that some people, especially women and underrepresented groups, are less likely to apply unless they meet every qualification. If you’re passionate about helping people find meaningful connection and think you’d excel in this role, we’d love to hear from you — even if your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every point.
