Project Coordinator
Do you tell people that you're the glue that holds things together?
Are you passionate about the details that make teams and businesses tick? Are you calm under pressure and ready to support a team that makes an impact across the globe?
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.
Groupon's Information Technology team may not be the obvious hero of Groupon's success story, but we enable that success. Thousands of people need to feel confident that their tools work, and that's where we shine. As members of the Global Support Services team, we will offer insightful recommendations and provide real-world solutions to challenges that save the day!
As a Project Coordinator on the IT team, you will report to the Global Support Services Manager and provide a wide range of logistical support. In a typical day, you might obtain quotes, submit purchase orders, handle a wide variety of software licenses and subscriptions, or manage our hardware assets and asset database. You may also assist the team in hardware and software procurement, asset management and provisioning, forecasting, and assisting in the identification and creation of process improvements.
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:
Handle software management, auditing, and reporting
Participate in hardware/software roadmap budget planning
Manage employee mobile devices and carrier plans
Identify process gaps and help drive IT process improvements
Interface directly with vendors and internal business partners, such as tech procurement, finance, legal, and information security, and other internal IT teams
We’re excited about you if you have:
Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent experience considered a plus
You are highly organized, with strong attention to detail and a proven ability to multitask
You're an effective communicator and can work collaboratively across teams on various sized projects
You're adaptable and can think on your feet; when faced with new challenges or tough conversations, you face them head-on
You have strong planning and problem solving skills; you're strategic and creative thinking with keen business judgment, focus, and ability to see the "big picture"
You are able to effectively convey complex information to a broad audience
You have experience leading or co-leading small projects, and driving them to completion
You have experience with personal computers, database applications and Microsoft office software, including demonstrated intermediate to advanced-level Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Visio experience and knowledge
