Manager, Getaways Market Management
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.
The Getaways Market Manager team is key to ensuring merchants in North America are provided with an exceptional experience during the onboarding process and for the duration of their campaign. As the manager of this team, you get the opportunity to lead an enthusiastic, clever and passionate group of Market Managers excited to drive excellence in merchant support and leading business initiatives. This position works closely with leadership and managers across the vertical to execute team goals.
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 ownership 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?
