Product

Real outcomes. Not feature counts, not engagement metrics, not time on screen.

Local commerce is fragmented, high-variability, and deeply human. The product decisions made here affect millions of customer interactions and hundreds of thousands of merchant partnerships - and they're measured in real-world outcomes, not platform activity.

It's a harder problem than most product roles offer. That's the point.

The standard

We'll be direct about what we expect at this level. Deep merchant and customer insight that translates into solutions that measurably improve outcomes - not assumed pain points or personas on a slide. End-to-end ownership of delivery, with the clarity and accountability to keep engineering, supply, and commercial aligned without being managed. And AI-native product development as the operating model - not a skill in progress. PMs who build repeatable AI systems that accelerate squad velocity, partner with engineering on AI-powered components, and create leverage across teams. Those who raise AI maturity across the function, not just their own squad.

The PM role is changing. At Groupon, we're building it into something more: Builders who own their product line the way a founder owns a business. 

In the Foundry model, you don't hand off to design or wait for a roadmap slot - you build. Supply curation, discovery flows, editorial content, merchant relationships, CRM logic. With AI as the operating layer, the gap between product thinking and product execution is closing. We expect PMs who close it.

With AI, there are no assumptions left to hide behind. Every product decision is backed by data - behavioural signals, simulations, predictive models. We expect PMs who use AI to eliminate gut-feel from the process: to model outcomes before building, stress-test hypotheses against real data, and iterate on signal rather than opinion.

The opportunity

Millions of customers. Rich behavioural data. A product layer being rebuilt with an agentic-first operating model. Your decisions land in production, at scale, with immediate and visible impact.

How we work

• Extreme Ownership - one PM, one outcome.

• Speed Over Comfort - move fast with the highest quality signal.

• Impact Obsessed - if it doesn't move the metrics that matter, it doesn't get built.

• Simplify to Scale - complexity in a spec is a risk, not rigour.

• Disciplined - high bar on prioritisation and delivery, always.

Who belongs here

Senior product leaders and AI-native PMs who measure themselves on merchant quality, customer outcomes, and platform performance. Who have already moved past using AI as a tool and are building with it as an operating model.
