Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Independently steer integrated brand campaigns with minimal oversight, owning the arc from brief through launch.
  • Shape campaign briefs and go-to-market plans as a thought partner to Strategy, contributing business context, consumer feedback, and performance insight — and carrying the agreed strategic intent through to launch.
  • Lead the agency relationships on your campaigns, aligning on scope, setting shared expectations, managing partnership health, and course-correcting early when something isn’t working.
  • Hold a high creative bar with internal Creative teams and agency partners, advocating decisively for what’s right for the brand.
  • Align cross-functional stakeholders to keep projects aligned and moving, flagging risks early and bringing structure to complex workstreams.
  • Lead how cultural partnerships and sponsorships show up in your campaigns, partnering with Comms on selection and fit.
  • Own the campaign performance narrative with Growth & Analytics and Media teams, engaging as a partner on channel and budget tradeoffs and feeding learnings into future work.
  • Serve as a thought partner to the Sr. Director on annual global brand planning and campaign budget allocation.
  • Bring brand and go-to-market expertise to marketing initiatives led by other teams, contributing strategic perspective, channel fluency, and creative judgment where it's needed.
  • Stay attuned to cultural, consumer, and competitive trends, bringing curiosity about culture to every campaign you touch.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in brand marketing, either at a creative agency or in-house at a consumer brand (or a mix of both).
  • A track record of independently leading integrated, multi-market campaigns end-to-end — with real ownership of briefs, agency relationships, and results.
  • A point of view on brand and culture. You care about what a brand stands for in the world, understand how culture moves, and bring that conviction to every brief, review, and partner conversation.
  • Experience leading external agency relationships: briefing, evaluating work, managing partnership health, and advocating clearly for what makes the work right.
  • A creative collaborator — you're as comfortable throwing out ideas and pushing thinking as you are knowing when something isn't right and saying so.
  • You convert ambiguity into a recommendation. You escalate decisions and run complex programs without needing day-to-day direction.
  • Fluency in paid media and measurement. You can engage on channel and budget tradeoffs, read performance results, and know what questions to ask.
  • Highly organized and execution-focused, with a track record of keeping complex, multi-market campaigns on track.
  • Energized by Hinge's mission to create a less lonely world.

Benefits

  • 401(k) Matching: We match 100% of the first 10% of pre-tax 401(k) contributions you make, up to a maximum of $10,000 per year.
  • Professional Growth: Get an annual Learning & Development stipend once you’ve been with us for three months. You also get free access to Udemy, an online learning and teaching marketplace with over 6000 courses, starting your first day.
  • Parental Leave & Planning: When you become a new parent, you’re eligible for 100% paid parental leave (20 paid weeks for both birth and non-birth parents.)
  • Fertility Support: You’ll get easy access to fertility care through Carrot, from basic treatments to fertility preservation. We also provide a stipend towards fertility preservation. You and your spouse/domestic partner are both eligible.
  • Date Stipend: All Hinge employees receive a $100 monthly stipend for epic dates– Romantic or otherwise. Hinge Premium is also free for employees and their loved ones.
  • ERGs: We have eight Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)—Asian, Unapologetic, Disability, LGBTQIA+, Raices, Women/Nonbinary, Parents —that hold regular meetings, host events, and provide dedicated support to the organization & its community.

Hinge

3.2 Glassdoor

Hinge is the dating app designed to be deleted. In today’s digital world, singles are so focused on sending likes and looking through profiles that they’re not actually building meaningful connections and going on dates. Hinge is on a mission to change that by designing the most effective app experience. We want to create a less lonely world by inspiring intimate, in-person connections. Relationships are at the core of everything we do. And not just the romantic kind. We can't accomplish really hard things alone - so we make great relationships the foundation of our teamwork. We believe these three core values are what it takes to build those great relationships: Authenticity, we share - never hide - our words, actions, and intentions. Courage, breakthroughs require a willingness to take risks and embrace lofty goals and tough challenges. Empathy, we're all humans first. So we deeply consider the perspectives of others, listen openly, and speak with care. We're mission-driven. While most apps think about boosting sessions and time on app, we think strategically about meaningful end results (dates and relationships). We're culture-first. We believe in great people over process. Decisions are pushed to the front lines, with feedback and coaching provided by our leaders.
