Groupon connects 42 million customers with local experiences - restaurants, events, wellness and travel - and the million-plus merchants who deliver them. Our mission is to get people offline and into the real world at prices that make it possible. We're an AI-native company in the middle of a platform transformation, moving from a deals marketplace to an experience discovery platform that works for customers and merchants at the same time.
ROLE
Social Media Specialist — NA
Full-time
Chicago (preferred) or US remote
Reports to Brand Marketing Director
About The Role
We're looking for a Social Media Manager to lead organic social strategy for Groupon across our main market, North America. This is a hands-on, AI-driven role: you'll set the direction, but you'll also be in the platforms every day — building, testing, and producing with generative tools as your default. You'll report to the Brand Marketing Director, and you'll work closely with the Social Media Manager for International on shared standards, tooling, and production, and partner with our new Creative Director on creative quality and campaign integration. The remit is organic only across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and whichever platform matters next quarter.
Key Responsibilities
Strategy & direction
- Lead the organic social strategy across North America (US) — channel mix, content pillars, posting cadence, and platform-specific approaches.
- Define what good looks like for our channels and translate brand strategy into social-native ideas that actually perform on each platform.
- Set quarterly priorities and a content roadmap aligned with brand campaigns, commercial moments, and platform trends.
Hands-on production
- Personally produce flagship content and AI-driven experiments — you should be in the tools, not just briefing them.
- Build with generative tools (e.g. Kling, Higgsfield, Veo, Sora, Runway, Midjourney, ElevenLabs) and adopt new ones as they emerge. Specific tools matter less than fluency and taste.
- Maintain a consistent weekly publishing cadence across priority channels to keep our communities active and our accounts present in the algorithm, using AI-driven production to make that volume possible without dropping the bar on quality.
- Prototype new formats and content concepts that the rest of the team can then scale into a repeatable production line.
Collaboration
- Partner with the Social Media Manager for INTL on shared creative standards, AI tooling, production workflows, and the use of shared resources across the function.
- Work closely with the Creative Director on visual identity, campaign integration, and creative quality.
- Coordinate with regional market leads, PR, performance marketing, and brand to keep social aligned with the wider company narrative.
Performance & insight
- Own the metrics that matter for organic social — views, reach, engagement quality, audience growth, brand-relevant signals — and translate them into clear decisions.
- Run a regular test-and-learn cadence; kill what underperforms quickly; double down on what works.
- Build monthly readouts that move the conversation beyond vanity metrics.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Portfolio required. Please submit a link or PDF with your application showing examples of social content you have personally produced, including AI-generated work. A brief document, a portfolio site, or a curated set of live post links all work — candidates without a portfolio won’t be assessed.
- 2–4 years in social media, with at least one year of strategic ownership of a brand channel (not purely scheduling/community).
- Deep cultural fluency with how Gen Z audiences consume and create on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube — formats, humor, aesthetic codes, and the cadence at which trends rise and burn out.
- Demonstrable portfolio of AI-generated social content. We will look at the actual work — examples might include AI video (Kling, Higgsfield, Veo, Sora, Runway), AI imagery (Midjourney, Flux), AI audio/voice (ElevenLabs), or hybrid workflows.
- Native or proficient English.
- Deep platform fluency on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube — formats, algorithm behaviour, and what audiences in INTL markets actually respond to.
- Comfort with data: you can read a content performance report and tell the team what to do next.
- Hands-on experience pulling, interpreting, and acting on social data — using either platform-native analytics (TikTok Studio, Meta Business Suite, YouTube Studio) or third-party tools (Sprout, Dash Hudson, Brandwatch, or similar).
- Self-directed. You can take an ambiguous brief and come back with a plan, not more questions.
- Experience running social for a brand operating across multiple European markets.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Comfortable being on camera. A meaningful share of our content works best when filmed first-person — trying a deal, walking through an experience, reacting in real time — and willingness to record yourself for that kind of content is a plus.
- Experience leading or mentoring others, even informally.
- Experience working across multiple markets or time zones.
- A track record of being early to a platform or format that later went mainstream.
- Light motion design or visual storytelling chops.
- Background in marketplaces, e-commerce, or local services.
What Success Looks Like
- Our channels feel consistently alive — never quiet, never stale.
- AI-driven production lets us ship more content per week without sacrificing quality.
- Within 12 months, organic social is a measurable contributor to brand health in NA — not just a content channel.
- NA and INTL social operate as one connected function — shared standards, shared tools, no duplicated effort.
LOCATION & FLEXIBILITY
- Chicago (preferred) or US remote.
- Hybrid working with regular in-office days.
- Full-time, permanent.
- Compensation: up to USD$70,000/year + 10% target bonus

Target technology and product roles
Groupon's sponsorship activity has historically centered on technical and product-focused positions. If you're a software engineer, data analyst, or product manager, you're applying into the roles most likely to receive H-1B or Green Card support.
Understand the intersection of marketing and tech
Groupon sits at the crossroads of marketing and technology. Roles blending both disciplines, growth engineering, marketing analytics, or adtech, tend to align well with Groupon's business model and may attract stronger sponsorship consideration than pure marketing roles.
Ask about sponsorship early in the process
Groupon sponsors selectively, so it's worth confirming sponsorship eligibility before investing heavily in interviews. Raise it respectfully once you've passed the initial screening, not in the first message, but before final-round conversations.
Leverage F-1 OPT to get a foot in the door
Groupon has sponsored F-1 OPT candidates, which can be a strong pathway. Joining on OPT builds your internal track record before H-1B sponsorship decisions are made, making you a lower-risk candidate when the company evaluates its petition filings.
Highlight domain expertise in local commerce or e-commerce
Groupon's business revolves around local deals, merchant partnerships, and e-commerce. Candidates who can demonstrate direct experience in these verticals are more likely to be seen as hard to replace, a key factor in sponsorship decisions.
Search verified sponsors before applying
Not every job posting indicates whether a company will sponsor. Migrate Mate surfaces verified sponsors so you can filter by real sponsorship history, helping you prioritize Groupon openings and avoid wasting time on roles unlikely to offer visa support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Groupon sponsor H-1B visas?
Yes, Groupon has sponsored H-1B visas for qualifying roles. Sponsorship tends to be focused on technical and product positions rather than general business or marketing roles. If you're applying for a software engineering, data, or product role, your chances of receiving H-1B support are stronger. Confirm sponsorship eligibility with the recruiter once you're past the initial screening stage.
Which visa types does Groupon sponsor?
Groupon has sponsored H-1B visas, Green Card petitions (EB-2 and EB-3 categories), F-1 OPT extensions, and TN visas for eligible Canadian and Mexican nationals. The visa types offered tend to reflect the seniority and nature of the role, entry-level hires may start on OPT, while more senior technical positions may qualify for Green Card sponsorship over time.
Which departments or roles at Groupon are most likely to be sponsored?
Sponsorship at Groupon is most commonly associated with engineering, data science, and product management functions. These roles typically meet the specialty occupation criteria required for H-1B petitions. Marketing roles are less consistently sponsored unless they have a strong technical component, such as marketing analytics or growth engineering positions that require a relevant degree field.
What does the sponsorship and application timeline look like at Groupon?
Once you receive and accept an offer, your employer typically files a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor before submitting the H-1B petition to USCIS. For cap-subject H-1B cases, this process is tied to the April lottery registration window, meaning the earliest employment start date is October 1 of that year. If you're already on OPT or TN status, you may be able to start sooner while the petition is in process.
How do I find open roles at Groupon that offer visa sponsorship?
The most reliable approach is to search specifically for roles where sponsorship has been confirmed through actual petition filings, not just job descriptions that mention it. Migrate Mate lets you browse Groupon's open positions filtered by verified sponsorship history, so you can see which roles are genuinely viable before applying. This saves time and helps you focus your effort on positions where international candidates have succeeded before.
