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 millions of users across the globe, we’ve become the most trusted way to find a relationship, for all.
About the Role
We are hiring a Director of UX Research to lead research across our Dating Outcomes and Platform product areas. You will set the vision and strategy for how research informs product decisions across the core product experience at Hinge, focusing on some of Hinge's most complex research questions – understanding what's getting in the way of people forming real connections, and what Hinge needs to become to fundamentally shift how dating works online. The work is ambitious, high-stakes, and directly shapes how Hinge invests.
This is a senior leadership role with significant scope: you'll manage a team of researchers, own the research strategy and roadmap for Dating Outcomes and Platform, and operate as a strategic partner to group-level product, design, data science, and engineering leadership. This is an ideal role for a proven research leader who synthesizes user insights and data science findings into clear product strategy, builds the organizational conditions for teams to execute well, and thrives on ambiguous, high-impact problems.
Responsibilities
- Define and drive the UX research vision, strategy, and roadmap for Dating Outcomes and Platform — prioritizing the questions that need to be answered before roadmaps are locked
- Lead, coach, and grow a team of seasoned, experienced researchers, setting a high bar for craft, rigor, and impact
- Operate as a strategic partner through synthesizing UXR and DS insights into POVs that shape product vision and strategy and inform executive decisions
- Represent Dating Outcomes and Platform insights clearly to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders, communicating roadmaps, tradeoffs, and product implications
- Drive cross-team synthesis and frameworks that unify insights across teams and product groups
- Identify structural and organizational gaps; proactively design ways of working that improve team velocity, cross-functional collaboration, and research quality
- Build a team culture grounded in curiosity, rigor, deep user empathy – and fun!
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of UX research experience, with 4+ years managing and developing researchers across multiple levels
- Proven track record of leading research across complex, multi-team consumer product portfolios with clear examples of research directly shaping product strategy and measurable outcomes
- Deep expertise across qualitative and quantitative research methods — able to set the methodological bar across a team, partner fluently with Data Science, and integrate quant and qual into a unified research strategy
- Ability to operate at both the strategic and craft level — setting research vision while holding a high bar for rigor and execution across the team
- Experience managing and mentoring highly senior ICs — able to establish clear roles and responsibilities, protect independent scope, and support researchers who are deeply embedded in product strategy and operating at a level that may match or exceed their manager's domain depth
- Demonstrated ability to do the organizational glue work: identifying when teams aren't functioning well, diagnosing root causes, and driving the interventions to fix it
- Confident, clear communicator who can represent research strategy at VP-level forums, influence without authority across product, engineering, design, and data, and present complex tradeoffs accessibly
- Passion for innovation and exploring how emerging technologies, including generative AI, can elevate the craft and impact of research
- Passion for Hinge's mission of helping people build meaningful relationships
Compensation
- Salary Range: $235,000 - $287,000 a year
Factors such as scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate's work experience, education/training, job-related skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and business considerations may influence base pay offered. This salary range is reflective of a position based in New York City. This salary will be subject to a geographic adjustment (according to a specific city and state), if an authorization is granted to work outside of the location listed in this posting.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in User Experience Researcher
Match your degree to the posted requirements
PERM locks in the job's minimum education requirement before your employer files. If the role is posted as requiring a bachelor's in human-computer interaction, cognitive psychology, or a related field, your degree must match that field, not just any bachelor's.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter User Experience Researcher roles by employers who have previously filed PERM applications, so you're pursuing companies that already understand the green card sponsorship process rather than educating them from scratch.
Build a UX research portfolio that documents specialization
USCIS scrutinizes whether your role genuinely requires an advanced degree. A portfolio demonstrating specialized methodologies, such as longitudinal studies or mixed-methods research, strengthens your employer's case that the position is EB-2-level work.
Verify the prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL-determined prevailing wage for your specific SOC code and work location. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level II or Level III wage for your role before you finalize any offer letter.
Ask about PERM timing during the offer stage
PERM labor certification currently takes around 12 to 18 months at DOL before your employer can file the I-140 petition. Confirm whether your employer plans to begin PERM immediately after you start or after a probationary period ends.
Use O*NET to align your job duties with the approved occupation
The O*NET profile for User Experience Researcher defines the tasks, skills, and knowledge areas DOL expects for the occupation. Framing your resume and offer letter language around these descriptors reduces the risk of a PERM audit or denial.
Green Card User Experience Researcher: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a User Experience Researcher role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
It depends on how the employer defines the position's minimum requirements. If the role requires a master's degree or a bachelor's plus five years of progressive experience, it can qualify for EB-2. A role posted with a bachelor's degree as the minimum falls under EB-3. The employer must maintain that minimum requirement consistently through the PERM process and cannot raise it later to accommodate you specifically.
How is green card sponsorship different from H-1B sponsorship for this role?
H-1B visa is a temporary nonimmigrant status requiring renewal and subject to the annual lottery. Green card sponsorship through PERM and I-140 leads to permanent residency with no cap concerns at the EB-3 level for many countries. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM alone takes over a year, and EB-2 India and China face long priority date backlogs. For nationals of other countries, EB-3 can move relatively quickly after I-140 approval.
What documentation do you typically need to support a PERM-based UX researcher application?
Your employer drives PERM documentation, but you'll need to provide degree transcripts, credential evaluations if your degree is from outside the U.S., and detailed records of relevant work experience. Because PERM requires the employer to verify your qualifications meet the posted minimum, gaps between your background and the job description can trigger an audit. Organizing these materials before the PERM filing begins speeds up the process considerably.
How do you find User Experience Researcher jobs where the employer is already open to green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search User Experience Researcher roles filtered by employers with green card and PERM filing history, so you're not cold-pitching companies on sponsorship. Many UX researcher positions never mention sponsorship in the job posting itself, so filtering by employer filing history rather than job description keywords surfaces opportunities that would otherwise be invisible.
Can you switch UX research jobs while your green card application is in progress?
Changing employers during PERM or before your I-140 is approved restarts the process entirely. Once your I-140 is approved and your priority date is current, AC21 portability may allow you to move to a similar role without losing your place in the queue. The new role must be in the same or a similar occupational classification, which for UX researchers generally means staying within user research or closely related product design functions.
