You can play a crucial role in this Fortune 1000's company ability to drive revenue and profit.

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. If 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 an excellent experience that connects them to our merchants and in turn drives business growth.

As the Manager of Strategy and Operations, you'll take on some of the biggest business challenges for our North American Marketing team. In this role, you will have the opportunity to make a huge impact on the business in a highly visible role on the marketing team. You'll spend your time analyzing data, pulling insights out of the analytics, and using those insights to craft strategies that you and the team can execute across the organization. You'll focus on driving initiatives from ideation to operational execution, and take end-to-end ownership of some of our company’s biggest strategic initiatives. Thinking of running your own business or becoming a GM of a large business group down the road? This is the role that prepares you for it.

We need someone who is not just incredibly smart, but also great with people - this candidate will be leading cross-functional programs across a wide variety of teams and levels of experience. We also need this person to be able to frequently interact with senior leadership, from presenting analysis to leading discussions about strategic direction recommendations to reporting on business performance.

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?

You’ll spend time on the following:

• Partnering with the Senior Manager of Planning & Strategy and VP NA Marketing to develop and drive execution of the North America Marketing Strategy, to support Groupon Strategy and attainment of financial and strategic goals

• Collaborating to manage execution across Brand, Platform, Push, Lifecycle, GTM, External, Offline, Market Research, Product and Vertical Teams

• Acting as a key thought partner, brainstorming and identifying solutions to challenges with key NA Marketing Leaders

• Owning high impact cross channel / vertical initiatives to drive attainment of goals ranging from GP to Net Adds to People Targets to SG&A

• Managing processes to build NA Marketing operating plans

• Building and designing operating models for key interface points within the NA Marketing team

We’re excited about you if you have:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Management, Economics, or similar. MBA preferred.

• 6+ years of business analytics experience, preferably in management consulting or e-commerce

• 3+ years of consulting or banking background

• You thrive working on multiple projects with cross-functional teams in a rapidly changing environment

• You're a creative problem solver who thinks strategically to identify problems and recommend effective plans of action

Competencies:

• Dealing with Ambiguity: Can effectively cope with change; can shift gears comfortably; can decide and act without having the total picture; isn't upset when things are up in the air; doesn't have to finish things before moving on; can easily handle risk and uncertainty
