Paralegal

Groupon’s mission is to become the daily habit in local commerce and fulfill our purpose of building strong communities through thriving small businesses by connecting people to a vibrant, global marketplace for local services, experiences and goods. In the process, we’re positively impacting the lives of millions of customers and merchants globally. Even with thousands of employees spread across multiple continents, we still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking and celebrates success.

We are looking for a Paralegal to join our team in Chicago. The Paralegal will get to work across a broad range of subject areas in a fast-paced and highly-collaborative legal department. In this role, you will assist with legal proceedings, transactions and other legal matters by continuously identifying needs and optimizing procedures and solutions. This role works cross functionally across areas of legal, including litigation, corporate securities, commercial, employment, regulatory, and compliance matters. 

As a global ecommerce organization with millions of customers and thousands of employees in multiple countries, Groupon presents exciting challenges for our Legal department to tackle. The Legal team is a global function that handles the commercial, regulatory, employment, IP, risk, and fraud matters at Groupon. We collaborate and work cross-functionally across all business channels including product, marketing, Groupon Goods, information security, corporate development, and more.

We’re a “best of both worlds” kind of company. We’re big enough to have resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact. We’re curious, fun, a little intense, and kind of obsessed with helping local businesses thrive. Does that sound like a compelling place to work?
