Staff Regulatory Compliance Specialist, Trust & Safety

Know where you belong!

Match Group is a leading provider of dating products across the globe. Our portfolio includes Tinder, Hinge, Match, Meetic, PlentyOfFish, OkCupid, The League, HER, and others, each designed to spark meaningful connections for singles worldwide. Creating a sense of belonging doesn’t stop at our products - it’s the foundation of every team we hire.

When it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life (IRL). We think the same is true for creating the best platforms, so we work together IRL 3 days/week.

We’re looking for a detail-oriented Trust & Safety professional to ensure alignment with global regulatory frameworks and contribute to our Safety by Design initiatives. This role sits at the intersection of product, policy, and compliance—partnering across engineering, legal, and operations to translate regulatory obligations into thoughtful, user-centered safety product requirements.

You’ll need to be able to communicate effectively with engineers and data scientists. You’ll help teams understand regulatory requirements, evaluate the effectiveness of solutions, and advocate for features that advance user safety without compromising product usability. You’ll write compliance reports and help ensure our products meet both the spirit and the letter of the law.

This is a cross-functional role that requires clarity in writing, rigor in reasoning, and pragmatism in navigating ambiguity. You should be energized by tough product trade-offs, grounded in the realities of enforcement at scale, and thoughtful about how to design for safety in a proportionate way, user-respecting, and aligned with regulatory requirements.

How you’ll make an impact:

• Work closely alongside our Legal team to translate safety regulations and codes of practice into actionable product requirements and design principles.

• Act as a thought partner to product and engineering teams, especially on detection tooling, user-facing safety flows, and effectiveness measurement.

• Evaluate safety system performance and make recommendations grounded in technical understanding (e.g., detection thresholds, false positives).

• Write high-quality internal documentation, compliance narratives, and external-facing disclosures.

• Serve as a cross-functional facilitator among product, legal, enforcement ops, data science, and more to align on safety system design and obligations.

• Monitor evolving regional safety regulations and assess their implications for products and policies.

• Contribute to external regulator briefings and product walkthroughs as required

We may be a Match if:

• 5+ years of experience in Trust & Safety, product policy, or regulatory compliance, ideally with product-facing exposure.

• Deep understanding of online harm types and interventions, including detection tooling and safety UX design.

• Strong technical fluency—you’re comfortable analyzing detection performance metrics and communicating with engineers and product managers.

• Excellent writing and reasoning skills; you produce clear, structured thinking in docs, even on complex topics.

• Product mindset—you approach regulatory compliance and policy goals as design problems to solve, not boxes to check.

• Familiarity with major global safety regulations affecting Trust & Safety..

• Bonus: experience engaging directly with regulators or contributing to external transparency reports.
