Editorial Director

Hinge is the dating app designed to be deleted

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:

Hinge is seeking a strategic and creative Editorial Director to define and lead how we tell stories that advance our mission of creating a less lonely world. In this role, you will both own Hinge's editorial vision for how our brand and values show up across our owned storytelling platforms (including the Hinge Newsroom) and actively contribute to the systems and content being created.

As a senior leader within communications and marketing, you will translate Hinge's mission, research, product philosophy, and partnerships into compelling external narratives. Additionally, you will work cross-functionally with our product, tech, research, and people teams to ensure our storytelling is cohesive, technically accurate, culturally relevant, and aligned with Hinge's brand voice and long-term strategy. The narratives will not only inform and reinforce what we stand for but also elevate Hinge's role in broader cultural conversations about dating, relationships, loneliness, and technology.

Responsibilities

* Lead and evolve Hinge Newsroom as a flagship owned platform, overseeing a robust mix of articles, long-form features, Q&As, and narrative storytelling that advances thought leadership, executive visibility, product storytelling, and research- and advice-driven content for daters.

* Set the bar for editorial excellence, writing, editing, and refining content that communicates Hinge's point of view with warmth, clarity, and intention.

* Ensure all content strengthens trust and emotional connection with our audiences, reinforcing Hinge's thoughtful, human-centered approach and deepening relationships with our community.

* Develop editorial guidelines and narrative frameworks that help cross-functional partners contribute content that is on-brand, audience-appropriate, and editorially strong.

* Edit and refine drafts from workstream leaders - enhancing clarity, storytelling, and accessibility without compromising accuracy.

* Build a fully scaled editorial system - collaborating with Creative, Operations, and Tech partners - to inform blog UX, publishing workflows, standards, and content structure that support consistency, discoverability, readability, and long-term scalability.

* Partner cross-functionally across Communications, Marketing, Creative, Product, Social Impact, Legal, and Trust & Safety to surface meaningful stories, including interviewing internal or external voices.

* Ensure a cohesive, consistent expression of Hinge's voice across all owned storytelling channels.
