Senior Product Designer (Contract)

Hinge is the dating app designed to be deleted

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 finding relationships. Hinge is on a mission to change that by designing the most effective app experience. On Hinge, there are no rules, timers, or games. Instead, you’ll have unique conversations over the text, photos, and audio you’ve shared on your profile. And it’s resonating with daters. Currently we’re setting up a date every three seconds.

About the Role

Hinge is seeking a seasoned Senior Product Designer to join our Growth team, where you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of how people connect. By designing thoughtful, delightful experiences, you’ll drive meaningful growth while empowering millions to find love. Collaborate closely with researchers, data scientists, product managers, and engineers to craft a growth strategy that evolves our product and redefines the dating landscape.

This role will focus on Monetization, leading the design of premium offerings, including subscription and à la carte products. As a member of this high-priority, high-impact team, you’ll manage end-to-end design projects, align stakeholders on objectives, and contribute directly to the team’s success. Reporting to the Growth Design Manager, you’ll receive dedicated support to advance your work, strategy, and professional development.

At Hinge, design drives everything we do—bringing bold ideas to life with intuitive, elegant solutions. Our mission to help users “delete us” speaks to our dedication to fostering real-life connections. Success isn’t just measured by metrics but by how well we help people find love.

This is a 4-month contract with the possibility of being converted to full-time.
