Accounting Manager (1 year fixed term)

Groupon is a marketplace where customers discover new experiences and services everyday and local businesses thrive. To date we have worked with over a million merchant partners worldwide, connecting over 16 million customers with deals across various categories. In a world often dominated by e-commerce giants, we stand out as one of the few platforms uniquely committed to helping local businesses succeed on a performance basis.

Groupon is on a radical journey to transform our business with relentless pursuit of results. Even with thousands of employees spread across multiple continents, we still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking and celebrates success. The impact here can be immediate due to our scale and the speed of our transformation. We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have the resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact.

We are looking for a talented, motivated Accounting Manager to join our Corporate Accounting team with a focus on international compliance. This is a dynamic, hands-on role that involves daily interaction with diverse teams, including Technical Accounting, Operational Accounting, Accounting & Finance Systems, Tax, Finance, Treasury, and Legal. Reporting to the Senior Manager, this role offers high visibility within the organization and opportunities to work closely with the Directors of Corporate Accounting and International Controllers.
