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 looking for a Lead HR Business Partner that embodies our culture and core values and can support and partner with our Marketing Organization. In this role, you will deliver a full spectrum of both strategic and tactical HR support and programs to the Marketing organization you support from educating leaders and employees on compensation practices, labor and employee relations, performance management, career development to advising on various management issues. You will be a thought partner to leaders on org strategy and change, and collaborate closely with People Operations, L&D, and Talent Acquisition to build scalable systems, develop leaders, and steward change with care and clarity.
Responsibilities
- Business Acumen: Develop a deep understanding of the organizations you support—their strategy, roadmaps, operating rhythms, and success metrics.
- Strategic Partner to Leaders: Ground recommendations in business context, org health, and team dynamics; help leaders think in systems, not symptoms.
- Org Design & Ways of Working: Clarify roles and interfaces, assess spans/layers, and strengthen decision rights and decision pathways across squads/platform teams.
- Leadership & Manager Development: Coach leaders and scale manager enablement (feedback, coaching, decision-making, trust-building).
- Talent & Performance: Lead calibration, development planning, and succession for critical roles; partner with People Ops to run transparent, equitable performance and compensation cycles.
- Compensation: Interpret Hinge’s compensation framework and advise managers on offers, adjustments, leveling, and market reviews.
- Change Leadership: Co-create pragmatic change plans with clear communications and adoption through reorganizations and pivots.
- Team Effectiveness & Culture: Diagnose root causes behind team friction and improve psychological safety, accountability, and manager effectiveness.
- Employee Relations: Handle complex, sensitive matters in partnership with Legal, People Ops, and other key stakeholders; spot risks early and coach leaders to address them.
- Special Projects: Lead cross-functional initiatives that improve our operating system.
- Learning & Development: Identify capability gaps and partner with L&D to design or source programs that build critical skills.
- Data-driven Insights: Translate engagement, talent, and performance data into insights and exec-ready narratives.
What We're Looking For
- Experience: 8+ years as an HRBP/People Partner — supporting Marketing, Brand, Creative, or Growth teams with depth in org design, leadership coaching, talent strategy, and building and rolling out scalable talent processes within fast-paced, high-growth, or tech-enabled environments.
- Change Leadership & Systems Thinking: Demonstrated ability to connect dots across teams and business priorities, anticipate second-order impacts, and lead thoughtful change initiatives — including designing and operationalizing core HR programs with strong adoption and measurable impact.
- Coaching & Advising: Proven ability to coach, mentor, and advise senior leaders and managers within dynamic, performance-driven organizations, balancing high standards with sustainable team health and aligning individual growth with evolving business needs.
- Influence & Communication: Strong data fluency and a collaborative, low-ego approach; exceptional communication, storytelling, and influencing skills with the ability to translate people insights into clear recommendations that drive alignment and action across cross-functional stakeholders.
- Nice to have: Formal coaching certification or background; experience supporting Marketing or other creative, consumer-facing functions at scale and leading end-to-end rollout of performance, talent planning, or engagement processes.
