Senior Product Marketing Manager - Go To Market
Are you ready to contribute to a dynamic digital marketing team growing a $3.9B business?
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. Do 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 a superior experience that connects them to our merchants and in turn drives business growth.
Groupon is looking for a seasoned product marketer to take our new, high-profile no-printout cashback product to market. In this role, you will drive new product rollout and scaling. You will be part of a team taking the product to market and ensuring profitability and materiality of the product by working in a tightly coordinated fashion cross-functionally. This is one of the most impactful roles at the company and we are looking for a passionate marketer who will lead Groupon into its next era.
At Groupon you’ve got the "best of both worlds"; 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 obsessed with helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a compelling place to work?
You’ll spend time on the following:
Take our no-printout, automatic cashback product to market and ensure product-market fit by working in a tightly coordinated fashion cross-functionally with merchant acquisition, product, finance, marketing, merchandising, brand, and analytics
You will lead a team of marketers to coordinate phased marketing efforts to scale as our confidence in the strength of the product and experience increases, and support the rollout and scaling plan
Test into and execute the optimal media mix to drive maximum leverage at each given point in the product’s life cycle, driving demand starting from awareness through to trial, and ultimately to loyalty
You will develop and drive execution from key stakeholders against the go-to-market strategy for the new product, working with leaders across the company to solidify targeting, messaging hierarchy, branding, media mix, adequate supply coverage & inventory, product requirements, and market launch plans
Work with our agency partners to develop the value proposition and messaging strategy for the promotion and selling of our product
Meet with our CEO and other executives on a regular basis to provide progress updates as well as highlight strategic challenges that require their attention
Develop forecasts/projections for customer acquisition and budgets. Develop and secure the budget needed to support paid marketing and the “opportunity cost budget” needed to support onsite merchandising efforts; drive alignment with Finance and Revenue Management on the budgets
Champion testing and innovation amongst the marketing channel (e.g., Display, SEM, Email) leaders to support this unique product
Work with key product, engineering, and analytics stakeholders to ensure that our automated marketing systems can support computational/automated marketing for the product
Work with marketing analytics to identify and implement how we calculate efficiency for this product given differences with how our core business operates
We’re excited about you if you have:
Bachelor's degree required, MBA preferred
6+ years of marketing or product experience with 3+ years of product marketing
E-commerce experience
You have a proven track record of development and execution of creative, innovative strategies to meet objectives - both short and long-term
You’re able to see the bigger picture and understand relationships between complex issues when problem solving
You anticipate, mitigate, and handle risk to top and bottom line
You're an analytical decision-maker who also knows when to trust their instincts to innovate ways to ensure all goals are met
You have experience leading and influencing across diverse groups, communicating goals, plans and strategy across all channels
You’re a polished yet scrappy, entrepreneurial self-starter who can handle multiple projects simultaneously and drive them to completion effectively in a high energy, fast-paced company environment
