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.

• Develop, advise and manage continuous improvement of cross-functional legal workflows, including playbooks, training, templates, and AI-assisted processes, to reduce time-to-answer on recurring legal questions and scale support as Hinge grows.

• Issue-spot and assess legal and regulatory risk for new and evolving products, particularly AI systems, under emerging AI regulation globally (e.g., the EU AI Act) and at the U.S. state level.

• Draft and negotiate a range of commercial agreements supporting product development, including technology licensing, SaaS, data/analytics, research, and vendor agreements, partnering with Hinge Commercial Legal and relevant stakeholders where appropriate.

• Guide product launches into new markets, ensuring compliance with local legal requirements and coordinating with local internal and external counsel as needed.

• Conduct legal research on novel issues affecting Hinge’s products and users.

• Act as a trusted, embedded legal partner who identifies jurisdiction-specific risk early, builds scalable compliance frameworks, and finds creative paths forward that keep ambitious product bets moving.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years’ experience in technology, consumer products, privacy, or related regulatory practice, with both top law firm and in-house legal department experience preferred.

• Law degree from a top accredited law school and admission (or in-house eligibility) to practice law in New York.

• Experience providing legal support to product, design, or engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle, ideally in a consumer technology or digital media environment.

• Some experience drafting and negotiating commercial contracts (e.g., SaaS and other technology contracts) is a plus.

• Excellent business communication and analytical skills, as well as an impeccable attention to detail and strong sense of ownership and accountability.

• Comfort and fluency in using AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) and finding new use cases for applying AI to Legal workflow efficiency.

• Curious and practical-minded legal partner skilled in helping business teams to identify and balance risks against business priorities.

• A collaborative team player who not only excels in their individual role, but also proactively looks for opportunities to support colleagues, share helpful information, and make processes easier.

What's the team like?

• You will be an integral part of a highly collaborative Hinge legal team and broader Match Group legal team. While individual autonomy is valued, team members are encouraged to work together, leveraging shared knowledge and experience.

• The Corporate Counsels who succeed on this team are curious, strategic thinkers who can manage multiple projects simultaneously, are autonomous and self-motivated team players, possess superior communication skills, collaborate effectively with stakeholders, and have excellent project management skills.

• The global legal team includes members with backgrounds across a range of consumer-facing industries, including software, gaming, social networking, travel, hospitality, sports, entertainment, retail and music.
