Do you approach creative work with an organizational mindset?

Are you excited by the opportunity to bring order to chaos? Are you an authority in taxonomy and metadata? We want to talk to you. If you are looking for an opportunity to apply your organizational wisdom to a global company that relies on compelling visual content, we have an opportunity 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.

As Digital Asset Specialists, we are responsible for maintaining the organization and accessibility of all imagery, photography, videos, marketing collateral, and copy. Our DAM system is the key to surfacing Groupon’s content to the site via people and internal tools. In order to sustain functionality and efficiency, our library requires ongoing and strategic maintenance, as well as agile adaptability and scalability. We collaborate with internal partners and project managers to make all content accessible and usable, while strategizing creative and operational big-picture initiatives. DAM is at the heart of Groupon content.

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?
