About the position
As humans, there are few things more exciting than meeting someone new. At Tinder, we're inspired by the challenge of keeping the magic of human connection alive. With tens of millions of users, hundreds of millions of downloads, 2+ billion swipes per day, 20+ million matches per day, and a presence in 190+ countries, our reach is expansive—and rapidly growing. We work together to solve complex problems. Behind the simplicity of every match, we think deeply about human relationships, behavioral science, network economics, AI and ML, online and real-world safety, cultural nuances, loneliness, love, sex, and more. We're looking for a Director of Product to lead a critical area within Tinder, one of Match Group's top brands. You'll join a deeply cross-functional team and work closely with leaders across Product, Design, and Engineering. This is a high-impact role focused on building and scaling core user experiences that shape how millions of people connect every day.

- Lead product strategy and execution for core surfaces within Tinder.
- Directly manage junior PMs.
- Own the full product lifecycle—from helping shape vision with design to writing specs, collaborating with cross-functional partners, and shipping consistently.
- Build trusted relationships with engineering and design partners, and guide the team through both day-to-day decision-making and longer-term planning.
- Help define and evolve product development culture, with a focus on high-quality delivery and continuous learning.
- Navigate technical and organizational complexity with pragmatism and clarity.
- Uplevel product craft across the team, mentoring PMs and helping drive stronger fundamentals.
- Contribute to company-wide priorities by aligning your work with shared business goals and collaborating across teams.
Requirements
- 8+ years of product management experience, including leadership roles in high-growth consumer tech.
- A track record of building and scaling mobile-first products with strong user engagement and UX quality.

- Excellent collaboration skills, particularly with engineering and design.
- A strong product sense and the ability to advocate for users while balancing speed, quality, and tradeoffs.
- A history of driving outcomes, not just output—with the data and stories to back it up.
