Senior Talent Development Lead
Do you have a passion for helping people grow?
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 Talent Development Senior Lead will support the strategy and execution of talent development initiatives in the disciplines of performance management, talent management, employee engagement, learning and development, and culture. This person will be a member of the Global Talent Development team and will work closely with HRBPs, and business leaders to establish and bring to life our people agenda. As Groupon continues its focus on attracting, developing, and retaining top talent, we are seeking a Talent Development Senior Lead to craft and deploy programs that support our employees in a competitive talent landscape.
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 and 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?
