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.

As a part of our HR team, you will partner with HRBPs, COEs and employees to support the growth and change that we see every single day at Groupon. The Manager, HR Operations is responsible for establishing and leading HR operations within select regions that we operate.

In this role, you will be the first point of contact for all internal HR matters, including employee questions, support with Workday, HR policy guidance, support hiring and onboarding programs questions and do the myriad of things that can support productivity across the board.

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?
