Did you know that we build some of the best sales people in Chicago?

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. And more importantly, the Groupon Coupons team.

The Coupons team is an affiliate marketing segment of the Groupon business aiming to partner with top national brands looking to drive incremental sales via Groupon’s expansive push marketing platform and Groupon.com & mobile app marketplace. Unlike other couponing sites that rely solely on SEO, Groupon Coupons is focused on leveraging its expansive database of customers. From new customer acquisition through to checkout conversion, we provide solutions for our partners through the entire customer journey.

As part of the Coupons Sales Team, Account Managers focus on growing revenue for existing mid-market Coupons clients, as well as onboarding new and prospective clients. Through a passion for building client relationships, you will build a portfolio focused on exceeding client expectations and anticipating the demands of rapid growth and innovation. You will work with both online and brick and mortar national retailers and deliver quality marketing solutions tailored to their needs.

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 passionate about helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a compelling place to work?
