Groupon connects 42 million customers with local experiences - restaurants, events, wellness and travel - and the million-plus merchants who deliver them. Our mission is to get people offline and into the real world at prices that make it possible. Weâre an AI-native company in the middle of a platform transformation, moving from a deals marketplace to an experience discovery platform that works for customers and merchants at the same time.
About the role
Weâre looking for a Senior Motion & AI Video Designer who can take campaign concepts from idea to polished, performance-ready video, raising the quality of Grouponâs motion output across digital channels and working in an AI-first way at every step.
Youâll turn briefs into strong video ideas and produce high-quality motion assets at speed and scale, pairing generative AI video with real motion craft to deliver more, faster, without compromising quality. Itâs a chance to define what AI-first video looks like for a global marketplace brand.
As a senior contributor on the video team, youâll concept and produce video across paid and owned channels, push our AI video pipeline forward, and uphold our visual identity in every frame. Youâll work hands-on and independently, combining AI tools with industry-standard motion tools to set the bar for what our video creative can be.
đť What Youâll Do
Lead AI-First Video Production

Stay ahead of the latest AI video models, techniques and tools, testing new releases and bringing what works into production.
Craft High-Quality Motion

â˘
Design and animate across formats and channels: Meta, YouTube, CTV, App Store, display and owned channels.

Bring real motion design fundamentals â timing, typography in motion, composition, sound awareness â so AI-generated footage becomes finished, branded creative.
â˘
Act as a guardian of Grouponâs visual identity in motion, applying brand guidelines consistently and adapting them cleanly for local markets.
Build Performance-Driven Creative

Partner with Marketing/Growth to turn insights into creative hypotheses, testing plans, and iterations.

Collaborate Across the Team
â˘
Work closely with Brand, Marketing and fellow designers to turn briefs into strong, on-brand video.

đ What Youâll Bring

5+ years in motion design/video creative, ideally within e-commerce, marketplaces, or performance-driven environments.
â˘
Deep, hands-on experience with generative AI video e.g. Veo, Sora, Kling, Runway, Higgsfield, Seedance, with published work that shows you can take AI output to finished, branded creative. You should be confident with these (or comparable tools) and proactive about adopting new creative technologies.
â˘
Strong portfolio demonstrating both AI-generated video and motion design craft (concept, animation, edit). Portfolio/reel required, only candidates with a portfolio will be considered.
â˘
Expert proficiency in Premiere, After Effects and the Adobe Creative Suite; sound design skills is a plus.
â˘
Strong understanding of video for paid channels and what drives performance (hooks, first 3 seconds, format best practices, iteration).
â˘
Ability to produce concepts and final assets independently and at speed, from brief to delivery.
â˘
Available to work on a contingent worker (contract) basis, based in or able to work from Madrid.
