Junior Search Engine Marketing Operations Specialist - Groupon

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 are looking for a team player who is motivated and enthusiastic about all things digital. The SEM Operations Specialist will work closely with SEM team members located in Ireland, US and Poland as well as other departments to ensure flawless campaign execution in a timely manner. The SEM Operations Specialist role will be responsible for campaign execution activities across all of Groupon’s markets. This position requires attention to detail, passion for operational excellence and the ability to multitask while working to tight deadlines.

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