This role is part of a fun, diverse, and dynamic team focused on taking our diverse businesses to market - positioning our brands with consumers, translating to engaging marketing actions and delivering an extraordinary experience that connects customers to our merchants and drives business growth.

The Merchandising team is seeking a data driven leader for our Groupon and LivingSocial brands. The Senior Manager, Merchandising will impact 50M+ consumers across all touch points, including 1.3B weekly emails and push notifications to drive growth of our North America business.

The exceptionally talented thought leader who fills this role will combine sound business judgment, world-class management chops and an ability to directly and indirectly influence partners to get results. The position requires a dynamic individual who can think critically to shape a strategy based on data and customer insights and who can develop a plan and mobilize a team to bring the plan to life. 

This role will be responsible for developing email and site merchandising strategies that result in highly effective customer experiences that drive engagement, reduce friction and ultimately improve conversion and drive revenue.

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?
