About the role

  • Groupon is seeking a Head of Managed Channels to own the creative, content, and P&L of every message sent across email, push, web push, SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, and in-app inbox.
  • This role leads the Managed Channels team and works closely with engineering, CRM lifecycle, pricing, and data analytics to transform messaging from deal-centric to customer-centric.
  • The position requires leveraging AI as a creative studio to design, write, test, and read out messaging concepts in days rather than weeks.

Responsibilities

  • Owning the creative and content of every message Groupon sends across email, push, web push, SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, and in-app inbox.
  • Owning the owned-and-operated channel P&L as one portfolio covering revenue, incrementality, cost per send, deliverability, and list health.
  • Building an AI-powered studio around creative judgment to generate on-brand creative, copy, and layouts per segment and market.
  • Turning creative testing into a system with always-on testing of concept, copy, design, offer, timing, and channel.
  • Setting one messaging strategy across channels and proving it with holdouts rather than last-click attribution.
  • Taking Bloomreach affinity, intent, and RFM signals and translating them into triggers, journeys, and audiences that visibly move repeat purchase.
  • Owning deliverability and compliance end to end, including inbox placement, sender reputation, consent, and unsubscribe handling.
  • Leading and growing the team with a clear operating cadence, honest feedback, and a high bar for creativity and craft.

Requirements

  • Experience as a creative leader setting creative and content direction for owned channels at a consumer brand.
  • Experience owning owned-and-operated CRM channels at scale across millions of contactable profiles, multiple markets, and several channels.
  • Experience using AI to produce real creative work such as copy, design, or content pipelines in the last twelve months.
  • Ability to write brand guardrails for systems to follow and recognize when the system produces incorrect output.
  • Fluency in a modern CDP or engagement platform such as Bloomreach, Braze, Iterable, or Salesforce MC.
  • Ability to read a raw table using SQL, a notebook, or a BigQuery console to form independent views.
  • Experience managing senior specialists and fostering professional growth.
  • B2C marketplace or e-commerce background.
