Senior Manager, Corporate Finance

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.

The Corporate Finance team is responsible for Groupon’s capital planning, financial strategy, long-range forecasting, investor-facing modeling, and cash flow optimization. The team partners closely with executive leadership, FP&A, Treasury, Accounting, and Investor Relations to support the company’s strategic decision-making and financial health. The team develops and executes the company's financial strategy, provides financial insights to the management team, and ensures the company's financial reporting is accurate and timely. You will work closely with executive leadership to build materials for quarterly board meetings, quarterly earnings calls, and monthly reports to leadership. 

In this role as Senior Manager, Corporate Finance, you will report directly to the CFO. You will lead critical workstreams that drive long-term value creation and capital efficiency. You’ll build robust financial models, evaluate capital allocation choices, develop Board‑ and investor‑ready narratives, and support major corporate initiatives such as fundraising, debt refinancing, and potential M&A. This role will own the integrated post close process of management reporting →  board materials → earnings materials, ensuring on‑time, high‑quality artifacts and a coherent story across Accounting, FP&A, and IR. This is a high-impact position with visibility to senior leadership and a chance to help shape Groupon’s future.

You’ll spend time on the following:

• Develop Board‑level presentations and CEO/CFO briefing materials; synthesize complex analytics into crisp, decision‑oriented narratives.

• Produce monthly management reports and quarterly Board packs; drive crisp bridges and KPI storytelling.

• Partner with Investor Relations to support earnings preparation (guidance frameworks, Q&A prep, KPI trends, bridges) and investor materials (IR deck, fact sheets, press release inputs).

• Run the company earnings & Board PMO: master calendar, stage gates, pre‑reads, dry runs, and red‑team reviews.

• Lead the Annual Business Plan (“ABP”) KPI program for the company and orchestrate Annual Business Plan & Long‑Range Plan cadences

• Lead development of Groupon’s long-range financial model, integrating inputs from business units and corporate functions; maintain scenarios, sensitivities, and downside/upside cases.

• Drive forecasting quality through driver‑based modeling, cohort/unit economics, and variance diagnostics; translate findings into actionable guidance for leadership.

• Build and maintain cash flow and liquidity runway models; monitor working capital, free cash flow, and capital intensity.

• Build valuation models (DCF, comps, precedent transactions) and synergy/standalone cases for potential M&A, divestitures, and partnerships.

• Support diligence and cross‑functional execution with Legal, Tax, Accounting, and Business leaders; track deal economics against investment cases.

• Mentor junior staff; champion pragmatic AI‑assisted workflows and process automation.

We’re excited about you if you have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; MBA or CFA a plus

• 6-9+ years of experience in Corporate Finance, FP&A, investment banking, consulting, private equity, or a related field

• Proven project‑management discipline running complex close/reporting cycles.

• Strong communicator and dot‑connector; comfortable leading without direct authority across Finance, Accounting, IR, and the business.

• Appetite and openness to adopt AI-assisted workflows

• Proven experience building complex three-statement financial models and cash flow forecasts
