Job Description

The League is a curated dating community for ambitious singles—whether they're seeking love, friendship, or networking. Following our acquisition by Match Group (home of Tinder, Hinge, etc.), we're entering an exciting new phase of growth, with the opportunity to expand our brand globally. We’re looking for a strategic and execution-oriented Lead Product Manager to drive the core product experience and help relaunch The League in a bold new way.

As the solo product lead, you’ll partner closely with our VP and collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, and analysts. You’ll own the product vision, manage the roadmap, and oversee live operations to improve engagement and delight our members. The right candidate has deep experience in consumer product development, strong UX sensibilities, and a passion for building premium, community-driven experiences.

When it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life. We think the same is true for creating the best platforms, so we work together IRL in Vancouver offices three days a week.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

Lead the product vision and strategy for The League’s core app experience, including post-match flows, messaging, profiles, and safety-related features
Oversee live operations, monitoring performance and identifying opportunities to drive engagement and retention
Build and execute a roadmap that balances UX improvements, reliability, and bold new features
Deeply understand our users through research, data, and testing, and translate insights into product innovation
Partner cross-functionally with Design, Engineering, Analytics, and Match Group stakeholders to deliver high-quality experiences
Act as the internal voice of the user while aligning product strategy to business growth and brand goals
Lead with a high bar for quality and execution while embracing scrappy, startup-style problem-solving
Embed trust and safety principles into feature development to support positive, respectful connections

We Could Be a Match if You Have:

6+ years of product management experience in high-growth consumer tech environments
Experience leading mobile-first, user-facing product development with measurable impact
Strong product instincts, UX design sensibilities, and a track record of solving for user needs
Analytical fluency; able to define and use metrics, A/B testing, and qualitative feedback to drive decisions
Proven success in growing user engagement and/or monetization at scale (ideally $100M+ impact)
Excellent communication skills with experience leading cross-functional collaboration
Comfortable operating independently in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
Passion for technology, consumer behavior, and social products; prior experience in dating is a plus
Experience building ambassador, affiliate, or referral programs is a bonus

$140,000 - $170,000 a year
