Technical SEO Manager

Job Description

Groupon’s office continues to grow! Take this unique opportunity to join one of the fastest-growing companies in the world and a team committed to build a large-scale search presence providing a great user experience.

As Technical SEO Manager, you will look after all the technical SEO aspects of the Groupon International sites, ensuring that they meet the optimal technical criteria of the latest search engine algorithms to improve accessibility, visibility, rank, and relevance in search engines.
