About the role

Senior UX Researcher at Grindr focused on end-to-end research across product areas, leveraging mixed-methods studies, and guiding strategic decisions. Hybrid role based in San Francisco, requiring in-person presence on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end research for a defined set of product areas - from framing the right questions to delivering findings that drive real product and business decisions
  • Design and execute mixed-method research programs, combining qualitative depth with quantitative rigor to produce insights that hold up across scale
  • Proactively identify the highest-leverage research opportunities within your product areas, building a research agenda that gets ahead of the roadmap rather than responding only to incoming requests.
  • Partner closely with Product, Design, and Data Science as a peer strategic voice - shaping roadmaps, surfacing risks, and challenging assumptions with user evidence
  • Lead research on sensitive and personal topics - including sexual health, men's wellness, and LGBTQ+ experiences - with the trust-building and methodological care these areas demand
  • Expand the team's quantitative research capabilities, introducing scalable methods and frameworks that raise the bar for how UXR operates at Grindr

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of product research experience, with a track record of independently owning research within a complex, fast-moving product environment
  • Strong mixed-method foundation with demonstrated quantitative depth - surveys at scale, conjoint analysis, statistical analysis, or equivalent
  • Experience conducting research on sensitive or personal topics, with a demonstrated ability to build trust, ensure participant safety, protect participant privacy and navigate nuanced subject matter with care
  • Proven cross-functional influence - you've shaped product decisions, not just informed them, working as a peer to PM and Design rather than a downstream service
  • Experience working on consumer products with a large and diverse user base, ideally in social, dating, health, or community-driven contexts
  • Clear, compelling communication of research findings to both working teams and senior stakeholders - you translate complexity into clarity
