Do you love to develop amazing sales people? Because that's what we do.

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.

We know sales is the backbone of business. That's why training our teams is a top priority. Our sales teams focus on building partnerships with Groupon merchants, and we spend our days showing them how. Plenty of companies offer sales “training” but Groupon offers professional sales development. Our trainers teach core selling principles in our GroupOnboarding program (GOB) and then accelerate the professional training of our teams in Groupon Sales University. We know what makes an outstanding salesperson and we provide our teams with the path to becoming one.

As our Director of Sales Training, you’ll be dedicated to driving training and development initiatives within our sales organization. As Groupon continues to scale and our industry matures, we seek an elite training leader to craft and deploy programs that support hundreds of sales professionals in an ever-evolving landscape. Our dream is to build Groupon into a best-in-class training environment where sales talent wants to come to become premier sales talent. As the Director of Sales Training, you will be critical to achieving this objective.

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 significant 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?

• Lead Onboarding, Continued Education and Leadership Development teams

• Drive impactful change to both Groupon Onboarding (GOB) and Groupon Sales University sales development programs

Groupon provides a global marketplace where people can buy just about anything, anywhere, anytime.
