Sr. Product Designer - HER
Match Group · New York, United States · 1mo ago
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.
HER is the world’s largest community for lesbian, bisexual, and queer people. We’re a global, subscription-based consumer product serving millions of LGBTQIA+ users across 55+ countries — helping people connect, date, and build community in ways that feel authentic, affirming, and fun.
HER is part of Match Group, the global leader in dating products, and sits within Match’s Affinity portfolio alongside other identity-led platforms. This gives us the best of both worlds: the scale, insight, and infrastructure of a global organization, with the autonomy, speed, and cultural focus of a small, mission-driven team. Design at HER is not decorative. It’s a core driver of differentiation, growth, and revenue — and a critical way we show up for our community.
We’re hiring a Senior Product Designer to take end-to-end ownership of key product experiences across our iOS and Android apps (and occasionally web). This is a senior individual contributor role with meaningful autonomy and influence. Your primary focus will be creating distinctive, sapphic-first experiences that clearly differentiate HER in the dating market — while directly supporting rapid active user growth and a strong focus on revenue performance. You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data, and Leadership to shape what we build, why we build it, and how it performs in the real world.

- Take the Lead: We don't ghost our work or each other. Just as users don't leave their matches hanging, we don't let each other down.
- Move Fast: We have a bias for action and urgency. Something that could be done tomorrow would be better if done today.
