Job description

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: big enough to have the resources and scale, yet small enough that a single person has the autonomy to make a meaningful impact.

Want to join the ranks of the best salespeople in Dubai?

At Groupon, we build sales talent that you wouldn’t find just selling random products. Why push “stuff” when you could help local businesses grow in over a dozen countries?

Our mission is simple: Become the daily habit in local commerce—building strong communities through thriving businesses and connecting people to local services, experiences, and goods.

With thousands of employees across continents, Groupon still feels entrepreneurial—where innovation is celebrated, risks are rewarded, and values alignment thrives. If you’re ready to own your career, this is your launchpad.

What You’ll Own:

• Source small business partners across Dubai/UAE via outbound outreach, cold calling, and consultative selling
• Close deals that set merchants up for success—guiding them from inquiry to impact
• Develop deep understanding of merchant revenue models, audiences, and goals
• Negotiate pricing, margins, and contracts with confidence to maximize mutual benefit
• Hit and exceed your sales and revenue targets
• Partner with Merchant Development teams to ensure a smooth handoff and ongoing strategy
• Grow the merchant portfolio—focusing on both scale and quality
• Communicate confidently in English. Chinese and Russian would be a plus but not mandatory
• Have 2–3 years of sales experience (inside, B2B, or territory sales)
• Know how to pitch, negotiate, and close consistently
• Have experience managing small accounts with drive and insight
• Are a natural listener, persistent communicator, and an instinctual closer
• Thrive under pressure, adapt on your feet, and embrace feedback and growth
• Have experience with CRM tools like Salesforce (a plus!)
