This role suits someone who can confidently prospect, uncover customer needs, deliver high-quality demos, and build a clear value case, all within a short sales cycle.

Lead pricing discussions and close using a consultative, value-led approach
Manage your pipeline, forecasting, and activity in line with SumUp standards
Build and leverage referrals from your merchant base and local network
Who we’re looking for
Minimum 2 years proven B2B new business field sales experience
Most recent roles must be primarily new business
Proven experience selling into SMB customers (territory-based selling)
Experience in merchant services/payments and/or POS is strongly preferred
Other relevant technical or hospitality-adjacent field sales will be considered
A genuine self-starter
Full UK driving licence
What Will Make You Successful
A “hunter” mindset: enjoys field intensity, door-to-door prospecting, and building business in the territory
Strong commercial judgement and value / pricing ownership
High activity with discipline: creates volume while keeping quality
Can adapt: able to move a merchant from simple devices toward more complete POS/payments solutions
