We Are Groupon
You probably heard about Groupon...
...as an leading American global e-commerce marketplace connecting customers with local merchants.
Headquartered in Chicago, Groupon was established in 2008 and made its impressive entrance to the public market in 2011 (trading under GRPN) as one of the most significant IPOs for an Internet company since Google in 2004.
We’ve evolved and come a long way from the world famous daily deal site.
In recent times, we encountered some challenging periods. In 2022, the Czech investment fund Pale Fire Capital made a strategic investment in Groupon, becoming the largest shareholder. Subsequently, 2023 proved to be a year of undesirable financial performance for Groupon, prompting the appointment of Dusan Senkypl, the main partner at Pale Fire Capital, as the CEO to lead the company through necessary changes.
The transformation journey of Groupon commenced to ensure the company's sustainability. A new senior leadership team was assembled to spearhead the restructuring efforts, which included significant cost & workforce reductions. This transition also welcomed fresh talent from diverse backgrounds, resulting in blend of old Groupon culture with new mindset of creating high performance culture. This phase marked a pivotal moment in shaping Groupon's future direction.
Now, we have transitioned from streamlining to a building phase in our transformation (read our Press releases). We are focused on bringing Groupon back to growth, we are aware this is not a place for everyone as we are fast-paced, bold and commited to brutal transparency. As a global company, we are hiring across EMEA, APAC and North America and we're looking for smart & innovative people ready to roll up their sleeves and make an impact.
