Display/Paid Social Lead

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.

Own the strategy. Lead the team. Run $1M+ monthly budgets.

Groupon is looking for a hands-on Display / Paid Social Lead who can take over our global paid social engine, elevate the strategy, and lead a five-person team across Meta, Criteo, GDN, TikTok, and more. This is not a maintenance role. This is a "take it, fix it, scale it" role.

You'll own Meta performance end-to-end, drive Gross Profit within ROAS guardrails, accelerate creative testing, and bring AI-enabled execution into daily workflows. And yes - you'll work with serious budgets: $1M+ per month. If you thrive in fast data loops, know how to push teams to excellence, and love mixing creativity with analytics, this one's for you.

• Lead and develop a team of 5 specialists - set KPIs, coach performance, build routines, and reset the way of working.
• Own and execute the global Display & Paid Social strategy across Meta (core), Criteo, GDN, TikTok, Reddit and emerging app channels.
• Balance prospecting/retargeting and identify scalable growth opportunities with feed & category owners.
• Combine hands-on execution (~50% at the start) with long-term strategic leadership.
• Run a structured brief → build → QA → launch workflow with Design and deliver AI-enabled creative production.
• Drive data-led decision making using Tableau , and support app-marketing, AppsFlyer integration and incrementality testing.
• AI & automation (LLMs for briefs, creative iteration, QA; platform automations for alerts/bulk changes).

• Have a solid understanding of analytics (Tableau etc.)

• Communicate clearly, push for clarity, and make things happen.

• Massive budgets, global scale, and space to truly influence outcomes.

• A role with ownership - you're the Display owner for the entire business.
