📍Prague 

Want real business exposure - not just another internship?

As a Business Operations Associate, you’ll work directly with the Head of Category Growth & Enterprise Partnerships and help drive revenue, projects, and operational improvements in one of Groupon’s key verticals.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role.
Not admin. Not slides. Real impact.

We’re looking for an ambitious Master’s or final-year Bachelor’s student who wants to understand how enterprise partnerships are built, how category growth is driven, and how commercial decisions translate into revenue.

💻 What You’ll Do

Business Reporting & Insights

• Monitor core KPIs (revenue, margin, conversion, pipeline performance)

• Identify performance gaps and growth opportunities

• Improve reporting structure and dashboard clarity

• Turn raw data into structured business insights

Your goal: leadership trusts the numbers and acts on them.

 Cross-Functional Project Execution

• Own smaller initiatives end-to-end

• Support strategic efforts tied to enterprise deals and category growth

• Track timelines, surface blockers, and follow up with stakeholders

• Ensure important initiatives don’t stall

Your goal: increase execution speed and remove bottlenecks.

Operational Improvements

• Map workflows and identify inefficiencies

• Propose simplifications or automation

• Support sales tracking and internal coordination processes

Your goal: help transition from scrappy execution to scalable systems.

Commercial Exposure

• Analyze sales performance and pipeline dynamics

• Identify revenue-impacting bottlenecks

• Gain exposure to enterprise partnerships and commercial decision-making

You’ll see how strategy connects to execution - and how execution drives growth.

💪 Who We’re Looking For

• Master’s student or final-year Bachelor’s

• Background in Business, Economics, Finance, Analytics, or similar

• At least one relevant internship (startup, consulting, e-commerce, operations)

Must-haves:

• Strong Excel skills

• Analytical thinking

• High ownership mindset

• Ability to operate in ambiguity

• Fluent English

🔎 Practical Details

• Part-time (20-25 hours per week)

• Prague-based 

• 2-5 weekly calls with US stakeholders (late afternoon flexibility required)

If you’re analytical, ambitious, and ready to take responsibility earlier than most of your peers - we’d love to hear from you. 🚀
