Director, Product Research & Insights

 

Launched in 2012, Tinder® revolutionized how people meet, growing from 1 match to one billion matches in just two years. This rapid growth demonstrates its ability to fulfill a fundamental human need: real connection. Today, the app has been downloaded over 630 million times, leading to over 97 billion matches, serving approximately 50 million users per month in 190 countries and 45+ languages - a scale unmatched by any other app in the category. In 2024, Tinder won four Effie Awards for its first-ever global brand campaign, “It Starts with a Swipe”™

 

 

 

We work hand-in-hand, building Tinder for our members. We succeed together when we work collaboratively across functions, teams, and time zones, and think outside the box to achieve our company vision and mission.

 

We take accountability and strive to make a positive impact in all aspects of our business, through ownership, innovation, and a commitment to excellence.

 

We cultivate a culture where it’s safe to take risks. We seek out input, share honest feedback, celebrate our wins, and learn from our mistakes in order to continue improving.

 

We’re problem solvers, focusing on how to best move forward when faced with obstacles. We don’t dwell on the past or on the issues at hand, but instead look at how to stay agile and overcome hurdles to achieve our goals.

 

We are intentional about building a workplace that reflects the rich diversity of our members. By leveraging different perspectives and other ways of thinking, we build better experiences for our members and our team.

Tinder is at a pivotal moment. We are evolving from a swiping app into a platform that enables real-world connection, trust, and authentic self-expression for a new generation of users.

This shift requires a deeper, more actionable understanding of human behavior, relationships, and social dynamics. UX Research is central to that transformation.

The Director of UX Research leads the research function at Tinder with direct influence on product direction, company priorities, and long-term bets. You will identify the most important unknowns, synthesize signals across research, data, and customer input, and create conviction around where to go next.

This is not a service role. This is a decision-making function. And this is a rebuild moment—you will define how research operates, where it focuses, and how it drives impact across the company.
