Business Operations Associate

Описание вакансии

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.

Want real business exposure - not just another internship?

As a Business Operations Associate, you’ll work directly with the Head of Category Growth & Enterprise Partnerships and help drive revenue, projects, and operational improvements in one of Groupon’s key verticals.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role.

Not admin. Not slides. Real impact.

We’re looking for an ambitious Master’s or final-year Bachelor’s student who wants to understand how enterprise partnerships are built, how category growth is driven, and how commercial decisions translate into revenue.

💻 What You’ll Do

Business Reporting & Insights

• Monitor core KPIs (revenue, margin, conversion, pipeline performance)
• Identify performance gaps and growth opportunities
• Improve reporting structure and dashboard clarity
• Turn raw data into structured business insights

Your goal: leadership trusts the numbers and acts on them.

Cross-Functional Project Execution

• Own smaller initiatives end-to-end
• Support strategic efforts tied to enterprise deals and category growth
• Track timelines, surface blockers, and follow up with stakeholders
• Ensure important initiatives don’t stall

Your goal: increase execution speed and remove bottlenecks.

Operational Improvements

• Map workflows and identify inefficiencies
• Propose simplifications or automation
• Support sales tracking and internal coordination processes

Your goal: help transition from scrappy execution to scalable systems.

Commercial Exposure

• Analyze sales performance and pipeline dynamics
• Identify revenue-impacting bottlenecks
• Gain exposure to enterprise partnerships and commercial decision-making

You’ll see how strategy connects to execution - and how execution drives growth.

💪 Who We’re Looking For

• Master’s student or final-year Bachelor’s
• Background in Business, Economics, Finance, Analytics, or similar
• At least one relevant internship (startup, consulting, e-commerce, operations)

Must-haves:

• Strong Excel skills
• Analytical thinking
• High ownership mindset
• Ability to operate in ambiguity
• Fluent English

🔎 Practical Details

• Part-time (20-25 hours per week)
• Prague-based
• 2-5 weekly calls with US stakeholders (late afternoon flexibility required)

If you’re analytical, ambitious, and ready to take responsibility earlier than most of your peers - we’d love to hear from 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.
