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.

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 would like to take more ownership of your career, then you're ready to be part of Groupon.

The North America business which consists of the our Local, Goods and Travel businesses drives billions in revenue annually, supporting long-term growth and innovation at Groupon.

Finally, this role serves as a potential pipeline to senior operational roles at Groupon.

We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company.
