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.

Our Marketing team takes our diverse businesses to market - positioning our brands with consumers, translating that to engaging marketing actions, delivering an exceptional experience that connects them to our merchants and in turn drives business growth.

As a Marketing Strategy Manager, you will own the marketing strategy behind Living Social, a Groupon brand.  This position requires critical thinking, a bias for action, strong communication, problem solving skills, ability to self-start and comfort with ambiguity.

To be successful in the role, you will need strategic experience to enable you to define realistic plans, think creatively, analyze impact, and execute daily. You lead with an audience first mindset, and have firsthand knowledge on how to project manage compelling campaigns that drive consumer action. In addition, you should have outstanding collaboration and relationship building skills.

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?
