Know where you belong!
Match Group is a leading provider of dating products across the globe. Our portfolio includes Tinder, Hinge, Match, Meetic, PlentyOfFish, OkCupid, The League, HER, and others, each designed to spark meaningful connections for singles worldwide. Creating a sense of belonging doesn’t stop at our products - it’s the foundation of every team we hire.
When it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life (IRL). We think the same is true for creating the best platforms, so we work together IRL 3 days/week.
We're hiring a Lead Product Manager to drive product vision and strategy across E&E brands like Upward and BLK. We’re looking for an imaginative product leader who can turn deep understandings of specific audiences and their needs into distinctive, compelling experiences. It's a player-coach role: you'll lead a team of product managers, shape end-to-end experiences across iOS and Android, and stay hands-on in execution. You'll partner with Engineering, Design, Data, Marketing, Finance, and Trust & Safety to build distinctive experiences that drive user growth, retention, and revenue.
How you'll make an impact:
Define and lead product vision, strategy, and roadmap across E&E experiences, aligned to company goals of user growth, engagement, and revenue
Drive product-led growth, owning key metrics including MAU growth, retention, payer conversion, and subscription and à la carte performance
Lead and develop a high-performing team of product managers, setting a high bar for craft, analytical rigor, and executional excellence
Partner closely with Engineering, Design, Data, Marketing, and Brand to deliver high-quality product experiences and drive cohesive strategy and execution across the product lifecycle
Leverage the shared E&E platform to ship efficiently, while identifying where individual brands need differentiated, community-first experiences
Use data, experimentation, and user insights to inform decisions, prioritize opportunities, and measure impact – breaking big bets into testable milestones and pivoting based on what you learn
Champion a customer-first mindset, deeply understanding the needs of the diverse communities our brands serve
Balance business objectives with community trust and safety, ensuring a respectful, inclusive, and high-integrity user experience
Establish and evolve product processes and operating rhythms that enable efficient, high-quality product development
Identify and evaluate new product opportunities, partnerships, and innovations to expand our impact and reach
We could be a match if:
You have 7+ years of product management experience building and scaling high-volume consumer mobile products
You have 2+ years of experience directly managing and developing product managers
You have experience leading subscription-based or otherwise monetized consumer products
You have a strong track record of driving measurable growth across user engagement, retention, and revenue
You are highly data-driven, with experience using analytics and experimentation to guide decisions and de-risk big bets
You are both strategic and hands-on – comfortable setting vision while also diving into execution details
You excel at cross-functional leadership, influencing and aligning stakeholders across multiple disciplines and leadership teams
You bring strong product intuition and UX sensibility, with a deep understanding of what makes great consumer experiences
You communicate clearly and succinctly in writing and in person, especially with cross-functional partners and leadership
You thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and can balance competing priorities effectively
You have empathy for the diverse communities our products serve, and are motivated by our mission to help people make meaningful connections
What's the Team Like:
You'll lead a cross-functional product team and partner closely with Engineering, Design, Data, Brand, and the broader E&E organization
E&E operates as a nimble, mission-driven division within Match Group, combining startup energy with global scale and shared platform leverage
The team is highly collaborative, with a strong focus on impact, ownership, and continuous learning
Success in this role means building a high-performing team, delivering meaningful product outcomes, and driving sustained growth across the portfolio
