Groupon, Chicago’s deal-a-day site, is coming to Boston! And we’re hiring a resident editor / community manager to help.
If you haven’t seen it already, check out Groupon Chicago to get an idea of what we do.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Help us find deals
We don’t know anything about Boston. We don’t even know how to fake the accent. You’ll help find cool places to feature, and then work with us to set each week’s deal schedule.
While sales operations will primarily take place here in Chicago, you’ll most likely be doing some sales as well.
Write
We write a positive, (arguably) funny description of the product or service we sell each day. Good write-ups hawk the deal without boring people to death. Here are a few of our favorites from Groupon Chicago:
Promote
Help us build our mailing list by visiting campuses, attending events, and using social media tools like Facebook and Twitter. You’ll also promote the daily deals using a variety of online and offline tools.
Upkeep
You’ll load each day’s deal onto Groupon and schedule/maintain the newsletter. You’ll also run customer service for Groupon Boston.
REQUIRED ATTRIBUTES
You must know and love Boston. We need someone who can guide us towards offers that will resonate with the indigenous population.
You must write well.
You must be a participant in “Web culture,” i.e. you have a blog, use Facebook, Twitter, etc.
You must be comfortable in a startup environment where no one knows what the hell they’re doing. Meaning, you make things happen without waiting for people to tell you what to do.
WHAT TO SEND US
Email us writing samples and a cover letter explaining why you’re the right person for this job.

Dear Andrew Mason,
I am very interested in this job and have already applied, but I have a couple questions. Do you have an office in Boston or are you looking to find someone to start a branch office out here for Groupon? I have already expressed your Groupon website to a couple of businesses that I am affiliated with and they are very interested in this group purchasing. Please feel free to email me back with comments or questions. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Michael Piccirilli
