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.

Lead a creative group of marketing professionals who believe that the best way to do SEO is to build a great product, to engage users with amazing content and great deals, and create an open ecosystem everyone wants to be a part of. Join the team reshaping Groupon to do just that. We launched Groupon Pages and Groupon Guide and are just getting started. We are looking for an experienced SEO professional who is a creative, passionate-about-users business leader looking for a global role at a top e-commerce brand.

The Search Marketing team is responsible for growing Groupon traffic from external search engine users and providing them better and more engaging experiences on the site in order to drive new customer acquisition and greater revenue for all of Groupon’s worldwide lines of business including Local Deals, Products, and Travel. We do this through automated SEO, SEM, and Landing Page Optimization technologies but also with development and execution of content and link generation strategies that reinforce the user experience and enhance the Groupon brand. The team is a key component to implementing Groupon’s “Pull” strategy that is already transforming Groupon from its origins as a daily deal company to an ever present source for customers to discover local merchants and service-providers for entertainment, adventure, travel and great deals on products.

In this position you will manage SEO for Groupon North America (NA) and will build a team that runs SEO product, content and operations. You will directly manage product and operations in SEO and work closely with SEO engineering and related teams across Groupon as well as marketing finance, marketing analytics and Groupon business leaders. You will forecast the annual budget and adjust it throughout the year to incorporate changes due to external and internal influences. Ultimately, you will be responsible for ensuring that SEO executes optimally throughout the year and serves as a huge catalyst for Groupon’s aggressive annual growth plans.

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:

• Business forecasting, reporting, budget
• Regular updates on product development, traffic, revenue and acquisition results to executive leaders and other internal partners
• Build world-class products to improve user experience and conversion, manage campaigns more accurately and efficiently, grow the footprint of Organic Search.
• Hire and retain top product and operations talent
• Build scalable content and link building processes aligned with Groupon brand and product focus, utilizing in house editorial resources, outside agencies, Groupon PR, social media and internal hires as needed
• Contribute to Groupon overall product strategy, directing Local, Getaways and Goods channel teams to increase and improve data in their product catalogs, improve user experience and optimally meet requirements for search engines
