VP of Product Management, Trust & Safety, Match Group
Description
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. About the Role As the VP of Product for Trust & Safety at Match Group, you will bring portfolio-level product leadership to our safety efforts across Match Group. You will own the long-term Trust & Safety product strategy and roadmap across our brands and the shared infrastructure supporting them — spanning the systems that detect harm, the tooling our moderation and care teams use, the capabilities that keep us compliant with a fast-moving global regulatory landscape, and the user-facing features that make safety something people can feel. You will build and lead a central team of product managers, and set product direction that engineering and operations build against. You'll sit within Match Group's central Trust & Safety leadership team and operate across each of our brands — building a deep understanding of each brand’s unique needs and focus areas, and defining a strategy that promotes safe and respectful interactions across our portfolio. Our north-star, and yours, is ecosystem health: whether people are, and feel, safe across every brand we operate. How You'll Make an Impact Portfolio Product Strategy & Vision Define and maintain the long-term T&S product strategy for Tinder and multiple other Match Group brands, as well as our portfolio-wide central safety infrastructure, in collaboration with brand teams and stakeholders. Deploy user research and a strong focus on our customers to decide what gets built, in what order, and why — prioritizing across the portfolio to build scalable, reusable solutions. Set a clear point of view on proactive and felt safety: intervening before harm occurs, and making protection legible to the people we serve. Serve as an external representative of Match Group and our safety efforts, helping to translate the work we do into a clear and convincing public narrative. People & Organizational Leadership Build, grow, and lead a high-performing central team of product managers across core safety workstreams. Lead through a matrix. You and your team will partner closely with — and often depend on — brand product, design, and engineering teams. Create the working agreements, clarity, and influence that make that model deliver. Build a culture of high standards, end-to-end ownership, and candor. Build-Once Economics & Shared Infrastructure Make portfolio-level build-vs-buy and vendor decisions: where to invest once in shared infrastructure, and where brand-specific solutions are genuinely warranted. Identify capabilities being solved repeatedly across brands and consolidate them into shared services every brand can adopt. Concentrate investment behind the highest-leverage bets, and raise development velocity on what you choose to fund. Responsible AI Champion the thoughtful application of AI across the safety surface — machine learning, LLMs, and emerging tooling — to improve detection and moderation quality, reduce reviewer load, and lower user friction. Drive a culture of AI-enabled development across functions, including building tools and systems yourself and empowering others in Trust & Safety to effectively deploy agentic coding tools and other emerging technologies to accelerate our work. Help deliver on our commitment to AI-augmented moderation and care at scale, without growing cost linearly with volume. Hold the line on the guardrails: accuracy, fairness, privacy, and explainability. Regulatory & Safety by Design T
