Junior Finance Analyst - Tech FP&A and FinOps

Groupon is a marketplace where customers discover new experiences and services everyday and local businesses thrive. To date we have worked with over a million merchant partners worldwide, connecting over 16 million customers with deals across various categories. In a world often dominated by e-commerce giants, we stand out as one of the few platforms uniquely committed to helping local businesses succeed on a performance basis.

Groupon is on a radical journey to transform our business with relentless pursuit of results. Even with thousands of employees spread across multiple continents, we still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking and celebrates success. The impact here can be immediate due to our scale and the speed of our transformation. We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have the resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact.

🚀 Why this role exists

Groupon is in a phase of real transformation - not just tweaking slides, but rethinking how we invest, prioritize, and grow.

This is a new junior role created to support Tech FP&A and give you early exposure to how a global company thinks about effective allocation of its resources, investment priorities, and long-term value creation. You won’t just prepare reports - you’ll work close to the numbers and the people using them.

If you’re early in your finance career and want to grow beyond routine reporting, this role is a strong starting point.

💻 What you’ll do

You’ll work closely with the Finance Manager for Tech FP&A and support Engineering and Product teams.

Your focus will be on:

• Monthly variance analysis - SG&A reporting, cost drivers (people, software, cloud), and explaining what changed and why

• Cloud cost & FinOps support - tracking spend, spotting trends and anomalies, supporting optimization with Engineering

• Forecasting & planning - quarterly forecasts, annual planning, and headcount planning with HR

• KPIs & ad-hoc analysis - supporting performance tracking and real business questions

• Process improvements - helping make reporting and data work better over time

🌱 What “junior” means here

This is a junior role, but not a passive one.

You’ll start with clear tasks and support, but you’re expected to:

• think critically about numbers

• ask questions and learn fast

• gradually take ownership of your work

You don’t need FinOps or cloud expertise on day one. Curiosity, accuracy, and motivation matter more.

🙌 What we’re looking for

Must-have

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics

• 1-2 years of experience in Finance, FP&A, or Controlling

• Strong Excel skills and comfort with larger datasets

• High attention to detail and solid analytical thinking

• Fluent English (written & spoken)

Nice-to-have

• Exposure to Tech, Product, or Engineering teams

• Experience with cloud costs, BI tools

Why Groupon 💚

Finance close to the business - Real collaboration with Product and Engineering leadership, supporting decision-making beyond pure reporting.

Early responsibility - Even in a junior role, you’ll get involved early, work closely with experienced leaders, and learn through hands-on work.

Cross-functional exposure - You’ll work with teams across the world, not just one office.

Real complexity, real learning - A fast-changing environment with high expectations that helps you build strong finance fundamentals - not just reporting skills.
