Groupon is a leader in e-commerce marketplaces, connecting consumers with merchants anywhere, anytime. We are building the future of local business and together impact the lives of 49MM+ people and merchants who use our tools every single day. With thousands of employees across 15 countries, we operate at a global scale but still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking, and celebrates successes. If you want take more ownership of your career, you're ready to be part of Groupon.

As the Inclusion & Diversity Lead Project Manager, you will play a key role to create a more inclusive and collaborative workplace culture globally, while helping to expand and retain our diverse talent workforce.  We love curious and creative people who discover new approaches to finding, retaining, and engaging talent.

We are committed to finding a Lead Project Manager who has great experience developing, managing, and assisting in the execution of project plans, including associated budget overview. You will work with the leadership of the Inclusion & Diversity Business Resource Groups and Councils to oversee the development of project plans to track and analyze I&D initiative effectiveness, and serve as a liaison and advisor on process and budgeting requirements.

You will play a key role in building organizational structure to scale I&D integration, as well as ensure internal stakeholder engagement aligns with the overall strategy.  This role will have a high degree of ownership and contribute as a thought leader to global I&D strategy development and execution of related activities. The work of the Inclusion & Diversity Project Manager has the opportunity to impact Groupon’s culture globally and increase engagement among our employees, merchants, customers, and the company overall.

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 will report in to the Global Head of Inclusion & Diversity

• Assist in the development and management of the I&D multi-year strategic implementation plan under the model of objectives, project lead, goals and tasks to ensure progress and accountability on an ongoing basis
