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”™
Tinder is at a pivotal moment. We’re building on our swipe-based experience to create more meaningful, real-world connections rooted in trust and authentic self-expression
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.
