Are you ready to take a financial leadership role in a growing Fortune 1000 public company?

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. Do you want to take more ownership of your career? Then you're ready to be part of Groupon.

Groupon is looking for a tenacious, self-starting Finance Director to lead the North America Groupon Services Commercial Finance team. The Groupon Services Finance Director role is responsible for leading all financial operations of the Local channel, including Health, Beauty and Wellness, Things To Do, Home & Auto, Food & Drink and Retail, and the Travel channel, in partnership with the divisional GMs of the business. The department delivers planning, forecasting and analysis that drives financial and business performance for the company. This position reports into the Vice President of Global Commercial Finance.

At Groupon you’ve got the "best of both worlds"; 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 meaningful impact. We're curious, fun, a little intense, and obsessed with helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a compelling place to work?
