- Proven ability to scope and drive large, complex, multi-threaded / multi - disciplinary initiatives from ambiguous start to successful delivery

What the job involves
- We’re looking for a highly skilled and proactive Senior Compliance Program Manager to lead Hinge’s safety compliance readiness efforts across regulatory, product, and technical domains
- Sitting on the Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) team within Trust & Safety, this role serves as the central orchestrator between Match Group Legal and Compliance, Hinge Product, Engineering, and Operations, and cross-functional stakeholders across our platform
- This is a strategic and hands-on position
- You’ll be responsible for integrating evolving global regulatory requirements into Hinge’s product and operational reality - scoping, coordinating, and tracking implementation efforts, and ensuring long-term sustainability of compliance as a program
- Lead Compliance as a Program: You'll own the end-to-end safety compliance program for Hinge, including requirement triage, project scoping, stakeholder coordination and hand off, and readiness tracking
- Translate Regulatory Requirements into Product Action: Serve as the bridge between Match Group (legal, privacy, compliance) and Hinge Product, Engineering and Operations teams to define what regulations mean for our platform and how we build for them
- Program Manage Compliance Rollouts: Coordinate multi-stakeholder implementation efforts across compliance-related product and operational initiatives. This may include projects tied to user trust, data handling, moderation workflows, and regulatory transparency. Support teams post-handoff and ensure compliance initiatives stay aligned with requirements, timelines, and long-term sustainability goals
- Be the Hinge Liaison to Match Group: Represent Hinge’s product perspective in safety compliance conversations with Match Group. Provide clarity on feasibility, timelines, and platform constraints, while advocating for workable, user-first solutions
- Track and Report Progress: Maintain visibility into compliance project health through internal dashboards, external transparency reporting, and updates to Match Group and Hinge senior leadership
- Anticipate What's Next: Stay current on emerging safety and tech platform regulations and advise product teams on roadmap impact
- Support Long-Term Compliance Resilience: Lead post-rollout assessments, gap analyses, and sustainability reviews to help Hinge mature its compliance posture
Our take
Hinge is a dating app that stands out by prioritizing meaningful relationships over casual hookups. Designed for people seeking long-term commitments, it moves away from the typical "swipe" approach popularized by apps like Tinder. Instead, Hinge emphasized detailed profiles and compatibility-based recommendations so used can make deeper, more genuine connections.
Back in 2019, half of single people in the US had never tried a dating app. Fast forward to today, and online dating is just part of the norm. Hinge has carved out its place in this market by focusing on long-term meaningful relationships, and is certainly meeting the growing demand for companionship while riding the wave of the online dating trend.
The "dating app designed to be deleted" is the fastest-growing dating app on the market and with online dating becoming the mainstream, Hinge looks pretty set to stay at the top.
