Since Groupon’s launch, we’ve expanded to over 50 cities and 3 million subscribers, presenting us with an unprecedented opportunity to tap into even more collective power. We are looking for a full-time, in-house Community Manager to organize Groupon customers to extend their collective consumer power beyond the daily deal to achieve something either good or hilarious. Campaigns may include anything from hilariously-themed flashmob meetups emphasizing Groupon’s creative social potential, to project-specific fundraisers helping local communities.

The Community Manager will be tasked with organizing new campaigns on The Point and integrating them with Groupon in a seamless way that provides value to customers.

This position will entail building relationships with community groups in multiple cities. Most of this can be done from our office in Chicago’s River North neighborhood, but some travel may be necessary.

Duties:

Coordinate project-specific fundraisers with local community groups

• Matching grants fundraisers (vendor and/or Groupon will match customer donations)
• Fundraisers to fund new community resources/events related to deal
• EXAMPLE: If we raise $2,000, today’s featured restaurant will offer free cooking classes focusing on nutrition to underprivileged young adults in the neighborhood

Tap into the whimsical, playful potential of collective behavior by creating social campaigns that enhance specific deals and connect the Groupon community

• Local meetups
• Create ways Groupon customers can collectively experience the deal together
• EXAMPLE: We’ll all wear capes to the ballgame if 300 people join

Administrative Duties

• Respond to organizer questions
• Handle all The Point checks
• Monitor discussions
• Manage Twitter & Facebook accounts

Requirements Experience in either Community Organizing or non-profit fundraising. Must have excellent writing skills. Social capacity to savvily navigate both the non-profit and corporate worlds. Firm understanding of social media platforms. Some knowledge/experience in marketing would be a plus, not required.

Compensation $40,000 annual salary and participation in our benefits program
