Category General Manager, Health, Beauty & Wellness (Chicago or New York)

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.

The Category GM owns the integrated HBW plan, sets priorities for the cross-functional capacity committed to the category, and leads execution through influence and partnership with the committed commercial, marketing, product and analytics teams. The role sits within Marketplace S&O and carries no individual sales quota. You lead through capacity committed by each function at the start of every planning cycle, not through a standing team of direct reports.

You’ll combine a general manager’s ownership mindset with analytical depth and commercial judgment: get into the details of the data and the merchant and customer experience, make clear trade-offs, and align senior leaders around the actions that materially improve the category.

This role is open at Director or Senior Director level, depending on experience. Both levels own the integrated HBW strategy and business performance. Senior Director candidates should bring experience leading a larger or more complex category or commercial agenda, with greater independence in setting direction, making commercial trade-offs and leading execution across functions.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the HBW category strategy and business plan. Set the growth agenda, define the priorities and make trade-offs across supply, demand, assortment, offer design and economics — sizing opportunities and distinguishing execution problems from market problems.
