Commercial Business Internship (Part-time)

Groupon’s mission is to become the daily habit in local commerce and fulfill our purpose of building strong communities through thriving small businesses by connecting people to a vibrant, global marketplace for local services, experiences, and goods. In the process, we’re positively impacting the lives of millions of customers and merchants globally. Even with thousands of employees spread across multiple continents, we still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking and celebrates success. If you want to take more ownership of your career, then you're ready to be part of Groupon.

The Commercial Sales team is responsible for managing the business relation with our partners. This dynamic team is dedicated to improving overall experience and drive success for both Groupon, the partner and the end users (customers).

As the intern within this team in London, you will be responsible for creating insights and actions for the Local business, supporting the sales teams across the UK and working on your own commercial relationships with our partners, combining marketing, finance and overall commercial tactics to improve our results - while getting to know all the ins and outs of how large global companies operate while doing so! For those interested, you will be exposed and can work with Teradata SQL Assistant, Tableau, Google Suites, Salesforce and MS Excel.

We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have resource and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact.

You’ll spend time on the following:

• Finding new ways of generating commercial leads by combining your skills with specific market tactics
• Working in small groups to tackle specific operational and commercial challenges in sprints of 2-3 weeks
• Learning about ecommerce/platform/deal economics and applying this to real world negotiations
• Directly approaching businesses across the UK to discover how they can cooperate with Groupon
• Using social media and other marketing channels to increase Groupon’s brand recognition with small/medium businesses
• Joining our senior sales team members in high value negotiations with our partners
• This role is combined in-office and remote, and your working hours can be built around your schedule
• You will obtain very relevant and useful experience for any future role!

We’re excited about you if you have:

• A current or completed university or higher level education in any relevant field such as marketing, finance, economics, STEM but other educational backgrounds are welcome to apply too
• Any experience working with Excel, Salesforce or similar tools is highly desirable
• Any work or internship experience in a tech company and are fluent in English language.
• Based in London with the ability to attend the London office, based in Aldgate Tower
• Ability to work 20-25hours per/week
• High attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
• Self-motivated team player who can succeed in a dynamic fast-paced work environment.
