Country HR Business Partner CZ

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.

About the role

We’re looking for a Country HR Business Partner to join our international HR team and become the go-to person for everything people-related in our Prague offices.
This is a unique chance to step into a role where you’ll combine hands-on HR operations with true business partnering - shaping culture, supporting managers and making sure our employees feel empowered and engaged every day.

You'll be stepping into a dynamic and fast environment where you'll need to build structure from the ground up, establish new processes and create order from chaos.

If you're energized by challenges, love creating systems and enjoy being the person who turns "we've never done this before" into "here's how we can do it," this role is for you.

Beware of Recruitment Fraud: Groupon follows a merit-based recruitment process without charging job seekers any fees. We've noticed an increase in recruitment fraud, including fake job postings and fraudulent interviews and job offers aimed at stealing personal information or money. Be cautious of individuals falsely representing Groupon's Talent Acquisition team with fake job offers. If you encounter any suspicious job offers or interview calls demanding money, recognize these as scams. Groupon is not responsible for losses from such dealings.
