About the role

Groupon is opening a brand-new Business Development site in Dallas-Fort Worth, and we're looking for the person to lead it from day one. You'd have reps reporting directly to you, with real ownership over how the floor runs: no extra layer of management between you and your team, and real say in how things get built.

What they're looking for

  • Some experience keeping a team's energy and activity up through the harder stretches after onboarding, whatever that's looked like for you
  • A track record of reps sticking around and growing under your leadership

  • Around 1–2 years of front-line leadership experience tends to be a good fit, enough to know how to run a team, while still feeling connected to the day-to-day work
  • Experience as a strong individual performer before you moved into management

Because you'd be the first hire on this site, a lot of what makes a floor succeed hasn't been written yet: the coaching rhythm, the 1:1 structure, the way the team supports each other through a hard week. That's really exciting if you're someone who wants to shape a team culture rather than inherit one. It's also real work, and we want to be upfront about what it takes so you can make a good decision for yourself, not just a good...
