About The Position

Grindr is hiring a Staff Product Manager for its Ecosystem Health team, which protects users and supports a safe, authentic experience across the platform.

The role owns the Ecosystem Health product roadmap, translating the team’s vision into strategy and delivering products across platform integrity, fraud prevention, moderation, authenticity, and user trust. The Product Manager will lead initiatives from problem definition through launch and iteration, including AI/ML-powered detection and moderation systems and user-facing tools such as verification, age assurance, reporting, and privacy controls. The role defines ecosystem health metrics, assesses emerging risks, makes tradeoffs, and uses data to prioritize improvements to user safety and platform integrity.

The position partners with Engineering, Data Science, Customer Experience, Legal, Privacy, and Marketing. It is a hybrid role based in Grindr’s New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Chicago offices, with in-person work required Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Requirements

• Track record of translating broad company or functional direction into product strategy, multi-quarter roadmaps, and shipped outcomes across multiple teams.
• Strong technical and analytical judgment, including experience working with engineers and data scientists on automated decision systems, model performance, platform architecture, and operational tooling.
• Experience defining success metrics, diagnosing patterns in large or complex datasets, and using evidence to make product tradeoffs.

• Active use of AI tools in one’s workflow and interest in finding new ways to leverage AI.
