Groupon - Enterprise Account Manager – Things To Do (TTD)
Requirements
• 2-5+ years in B2B sales — strong preference for Things to Do experience or marketplace/ experience economy, hospitality, entertainment, or adjacent industries where you've sold something intangible and won. • A proven track record of closing complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals — not just managing a pipeline that never converts. • Existing relationships in Local Activities, Family Entertainment Centers (FECs), or the broader Attractions category are a meaningful differentiator and will be weighted accordingly. • Experience negotiating margin, deal terms, or pricing structures in a supply or commercial context — you understand what net-to-retail means and why it matters. • Commercial & Analytical Acumen • You can build a business case, model deal economics, and negotiate multi-variable terms without losing momentum or stakeholder trust. • You understand the difference between a high-volume deal and a high-value deal — and you prioritize accordingly. • You're comfortable presenting to and negotiating with senior operators, GMs, and ownership groups. • Operating Style • Operating Style • Operating Style • You treat your pipeline like a portfolio — always assessing quality, cutting what's not moving, and doubling down on what is. • You send the imperfect email rather than wait for the polished one. You book the meeting before the deck is done. • AI fluency is a baseline here, not a bonus. You already use AI tools in your workflow and you bring new ones without being asked. Claude cowork proficiency required. • You hold yourself accountable to outcomes. Missing a number because you 'tried hard' doesn't sit well with you. • You are a builder, always pushing the limit of what’s possible. Not happy with status quo. • Location & Work Model • Chicago-based preferred. Hybrid, 3 days/week in office. • Remote will be considered only for candidates who bring demonstrated TTD supply experience or a major account track record in Local Activities or Attractions. This is not a remote-by-default role — TTD is a relationship business, and proximity to the team and the market matters. • How We Operate • How We Operate • How We Operate • At Groupon, we run on five principles: Extreme Ownership, Speed Over Comfort, Impact Obsessed, Simplify to Scale, and Disciplined. In this role, that means: • Extreme Ownership — Your number is your number. You don't wait for marketing to warm leads or product to fix a gap. You find the angle and you close. • Speed Over Comfort — You move the deal forward before conditions are perfect. A good proposal sent today beats a great one sent next week. • Impact Obsessed — You close deals that move GP, not deals that are easy. Volume without quality isn't a win. • Simplify to Scale — When you crack a pitch that works, you document it. What you build should make the next rep faster. • Disciplined — Your pipeline is immaculate. You follow up systematically, update CRM in real time, and never let a warm lead go cold. • How We Measure Success • New enterprise TTD partners signed per quarter (Gross profit-weighted) • Double Digit Gross Profit growth on your book of business • Average deal quality: GP per partner + customer rating at launch • Pipeline conversion rate: first meeting to close • Time to first campaign live for newly signed partners
Responsibilities
• Own the Full Sales Cycle • Prospect, pitch, negotiate, and close enterprise-level supply deals across Local Activities, Family Entertainment, and Tours & Attractions — end to end, no hand-holding. • Build and manage a disciplined pipeline of 75+ targeted accounts, tiered by GP potential and strategic fit — not just whoever will take a call. • Structure deals that work for both sides: net-to-retail pricing, margin-aware deal architecture, and activation timelines that drive results • Drive strategic growth plans, comfortably engage at the c-suite level, and level up Groupon’s footprint with the top merchants in the sector. • Be the Playmaker, Not the Order Taker • Identify the whitespace in TTD supply — the FEC chains without a digital demand channel, the regional attraction groups flying under the radar, the emerging local activity categories — and go get them. • Come to every negotiation with a point of view on deal structure, pricing strategy, and launch approach. Push back when terms don't make sense. Know when to walk. • Bring your network. If you've spent time in the Local Activities or FEC space and have relationships at the operator or management level, use them. That's an accelerant here. • Drive Strategic Partnership Quality • Prioritize deals by revenue impact and customer experience potential — a great deal on a mediocre partner is not a win. • Partner with Category and Account Management to ensure smooth activation: from signed to live to performing without losing momentum. • Feed commercial intelligence back into the team: what partners are saying, what competitors are offering, what deal structures are landing — and which aren't. • Operate with Commercial Precision • Understand the unit economics. Know what a good margin looks like, what an unsustainable one looks like, and how to negotiate the gap. • Use Salesforce with discipline: pipeline hygiene, stage accuracy, real-time updates. Your CRM reflects reality, not optimism. • Leverage AI tools in your daily workflow — prospecting lists, outreach drafting, deal research, and prep. You don't wait to be handed a tool; you find one and figure it out.
Benefits
• Volume matters, but GP is the scoreboard • Deals that go live and perform — not just signed and stalled • Quality benchmark, not just headcount • Efficiency and qualification discipline • Speed of execution after signature • Base compensation: $55,000-$75,000 + bonus • OTE: approx. 120K+ • OTE: approx. 120K+ • Hybrid work model (3 days/week in Chicago office) • Hybrid • Alternate locations: Can be remote for the right fit • Alternate locations: • Full benefits package including Medical, Dental, Vision, EAP, 401(k) Match, ESPP, Life & Disability Insurance, FSAs, and more • Real impact on a high-visibility category • Autonomy, ownership, and a chance to influence how major national brands show up on Groupon • Groupon is an AI-First CompanyWe’re committed to building smarter, faster, and more innovative ways of working and AI plays a key role in how we get there.
