In today's digital world, finding genuine relationships is tougher than ever. At Hinge, we’re on a mission to inspire intimate connection to create a less lonely world. We’re obsessed with understanding our users’ behaviors to help them find love, and our success is defined by one simple metric– setting up great dates. With tens of millions of users across the globe, we’ve become the most trusted way to find a relationship, for all.
About the Role
Hinge is seeking a Policy Manager to help shape, implement, and scale the platform policies that protect users, ensure compliance, and strengthen the integrity of our community. As a Policy Manager at Hinge, you’ll be responsible for supporting the transformation of high-level policies into clear operational guidance. Also, the Policy Manager will be responsible for tracking the implementation of Policy team priorities. This role is deeply cross-functional, partnering closely with the Moderation, Product, and Education teams to ensure our policy guidance is actionable, consistent, and measurable. You’ll drive clarity in enforcement guidance, surface quality gaps, and lead systems that improve how Hinge scales safety through policy. With a strong foundation in data analysis, program management, and policy writing, you’ll help improve not only how we develop policies but also how we apply and refine them over time.
This role offers meaningful opportunities to directly impact how Hinge keeps its community safe and ensures policies are enforceable at scale, while also offering growth potential, whether through high-visibility cross-functional work or expanding influence on how AI and regulation shape our platform’s future.
Responsibilities
- Write, revise, and maintain source-of-truth documentation, including policy guidance and FAQ documents.
- Project manage the Policy team’s priorities to drive clarity on complex or novel policy issues.
- Monitor enforcement trends and decision quality, partnering with Moderation teams to identify policy ambiguity, escalate issues, and refine policy guidance accordingly.
- Track and report on policy implementation through data dashboards and structured project updates, including the status of policy initiatives (e.g., policy audits, AI policy integration, localization).
- Own and evolve Hinge’s policy documentation processes: ensure version control, documentation standards, and cross-functional visibility.
- Support policy measurement and iteration by partnering with Data, Product, and Ops to analyze how policies are enforced.
- Contribute to quality improvement initiatives, including feedback loops with Moderation teams.
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in content moderation, program management, trust & safety, data analytics, or compliance at a global tech platform.
- Demonstrated success working cross-functionally, particularly in content moderation or AI governance.
- Strong writing skills; ability to turn complex policy concepts into actionable guidance
- Familiarity with how policy gets enforced through scaled operations teams and how to track and improve the quality of that enforcement.
- Proficiency in Looker, Tableau, or SQL.
- Experience using data and feedback to drive continuous policy iteration.
- Experience writing scalable policy guidance across global or third-party teams.

What does Hinge’s relationship with Match Group mean?
In early 2019, Hinge became part of Match Group. Since then, Hinge’s executive team has continued to set our mission, vision, and the working norms that guide how we show up every day. While some corporate functions are supported at the Match Group level, working at Hinge is unique experience — shaped by our people, our values, and our product.
TL;DR: We get the best of both worlds! Hinge still operates like a small, mission-driven company, and we have the stability and resources of a company that’s stood the test of time.

TLDR: Beautiful working spaces, lots of plants, even more food and snacks, dog friendly - 3 days a week :)
