Pricing & Promotions Analyst
We’re a top-rated retail app. You’re an analyst looking to help discover consumer insights. Let’s talk.
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.
At Groupon we are passionate about using data to drive business decisions. The Pricing and Promotions team brings together Marketing, Product Management and Data Science to drive conversion and grow margins through pricing, promotions and price display. Our team combines a strategic mindset, analytical thinking, and operational horsepower to drive business value.
As a Pricing and Promotions Analyst, you will be engaged in: delivering insights on pricing and profitability, designing promotions, developing and sizing business initiatives, participating in A/B test design and analysis.
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 meaningful 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?
You’ll spend time on the following:
Analyze trends and deliver insights on pricing and promotion performance.
Develop, size and track the success of business initiatives around pricing, price display and promotions.
Set the Groupon promotional calendar, and collaborate with Merchandising and Push Marketing to design promotional tests and treatments.
Oversee the price setting process, manage several pricing programs and serve as an expert on pricing issues.
Define promotional exclusion rules to maximize gross profit.
Collaborate with Data Science, Product Management and Engineering to design better promotional and pricing systems, improve deal pricing and provide a better customer experience.
Participate in A/B test design and analysis, conduct deep-dives and help guide product and marketing strategy.
Be a key part of setting pricing and promotional strategy.
