Overview

Groupon is a marketplace where customers discover new experiences and services every day, and local businesses thrive. We work with over a million merchant partners worldwide and connect over 16 million customers with deals across categories. We are focused on transforming our business with a relentless pursuit of results, maintaining a culture that rewards risk-taking and celebrates success. The impact here can be immediate due to our scale and fast transformation. We are big enough to have resources and autonomy, yet small enough for a single person to make a meaningful impact.

? The Role

The Global Compensation Program Manager will design and scale Groupon’s global pay programs—covering base pay, annual bonuses (non-sales), recognition, and equity (RSUs/PSUs). You’ll build clear, fair frameworks that help leaders make consistent decisions and employees understand their rewards. Partnering with a Junior Compensation Analyst, you’ll drive execution through strong systems, analytics, and governance. Collaboration with HRBPs, HR Ops, Talent Acquisition, HRIS, Finance, Legal, and senior leadership is key to making compensation a core part of Groupon’s transformation.
