## About the role

Health, Beauty & Wellness (HBW) is one of Groupon’s largest local categories. We are looking for a Category General Manager to own its strategy and performance across supply, customer demand, assortment and offer design, and category economics. The mandate is to determine where HBW can win, set an integrated growth agenda and turn that agenda into measurable business results.

## What they're looking for

- Analytical and commercial judgment. You get into the data, business models, and merchant and customer experience without losing the strategic view — you can size opportunities, challenge assumptions and understand category economics
- Cross-functional leadership. You can align senior partners, earn trust and move work through teams you do not directly manage
- Customer and merchant orientation. You connect market and performance data to what customers value and what merchants need to create compelling, sustainable offers
- An operator’s bias for action. You move from a clear point of view to a practical plan, define owners and milestones and stay close enough to execution to ensure results
- Clear executive communication. You lead with the recommendation, explain trade-offs and challenge senior stakeholders constructively
- AI fluency. You use AI tools to investigate the category, model economics and automate recurring analysis — with the judgment to validate what they produce
