Are you looking for a way to challenge yourself and build your design skills? Do you love taking ownership of your own objectives? This might be the role for you.

Groupon’s mission is to become the daily habit in local commerce and fulfill our purpose of building strong communities through thriving small businesses by connecting people to a vibrant, global marketplace for local services, experiences and goods. In the process, we’re positively impacting the lives of millions of customers and merchants globally. Even with thousands of employees spread across multiple continents, we still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking and celebrates success. If you want to take more ownership of your career, then you're ready to be part of Groupon.

The design team is a large group of in-house creatives and creative ops professionals who support all the branded creative marketing and merchandising needs for Groupon globally. We work to create a brand people get excited about, for both customers and our clients across the company, through visual design, content marketing, and photos and videos from our in-house studio.

As an Associate Visual Designer, you will focus on supporting other designers and Art Directors on concepting and executing visually engaging and functional digital assets for Groupon’s marketing and merchandising businesses. As an Associate Visual Designers, you are expected to be strong at synthesizing information, troubleshooting and problem solving, and ultimately providing a high-level of execution. In this role, you will gain an understanding of designing for the brand’s purpose, business goals, and customer needs. The Associate Visual Designer will report to the Art Director.

We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a significant impact. We're curious, fun, a little intense, and kind of obsessed with helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a compelling place to work?
