Are you passionate about continuously improving and refining process 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.

The Continuous Improvement Manager - Lean Six Sigma Black Belt will initially be responsible for the identification and management of process improvement projects with a specific focus on contact reduction within the contact center both in Chicago and Chennai, India. This person will also be responsible for building positive relationships with various partners throughout the company and will be charged with helping to develop a culture of continuous improvement at Groupon.

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?
