About the job
Groupon is a dynamic marketplace where customers uncover new experiences and local businesses flourish. To date, we have partnered with over a million merchants globally, connecting more than 16 million customers with exceptional deals across various categories. Amidst a landscape often dominated by e-commerce behemoths, we distinctly position ourselves as a platform dedicated to empowering local businesses based on their performance.
We are on an ambitious journey to revolutionize our business with an unwavering focus on results. Despite having thousands of employees across multiple continents, we cultivate a culture that fosters innovation, encourages calculated risks, and celebrates successes. The impact you can make here is immediate, thanks to our scale and rapid transformation. We embody the best of both worlds: large enough to have substantial resources, yet small enough for individuals to enjoy a remarkable degree of autonomy and make a significant impact.
