Senior Director, Marketing - Push and Email
Connecting with our customers is at the heart of everything we do. Can you lead the charge?
Groupon’s mission is to become the daily habit in local commerce and fulfill our purpose of building strong communities through thriving small businesses. We connect 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 the Senior Director of Push and Email, you will lead the growth and expansion of Groupon’s Push Notification and Email Strategy, improving the customer experience. This role is part of a fun, diverse and dynamic North America Marketing Team and is critical to driving incremental profit from the full scope of our push and email program - from subscribers through to incremental profit maximization. Specifically, you will be a hands-on leader to the analytics, data science, strategy and execution team. You will also be the business owner and partner to the Product and Engineering teams that support your channel. You will work with marketing teams across digital and offline channels, as well as business teams across our North American categories to ensure a seamless end to end experience. This is a high exposure, high impact role that will shape the company’s marketing efforts and drive a consistent retail strategy and approach.
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?
