The Commercial Planning team sits at the heart of SumUp's commercial engine, turning complex data into the financial insight that shapes how we grow. We partner closely with channel leads, marketing, and product teams to make sure our planning is accurate, proactive, and genuinely useful to the people making decisions. We need someone who can own the analytical workstreams for our Acquisitions channels while building the kind of trusted relationships that make finance business partnering actually work. If you're energised by owning complex models, influencing commercial decisions, and being the person stakeholders turn to when they need clarity, this is the role for you.

What you'll do:

  • Own end-to-end revenue and customer acquisition budget (CAB) planning for acquisition channels, building scalable financial models, running scenario analyses, and delivering proactive performance insights to senior stakeholders.
  • Act as the primary finance business partner for channel leads, building trusted relationships, embedding financial models into commercial decision-making, and influencing assumptions through rigorous analysis.
  • Conduct deep-dive analyses at country, merchant category, and channel level to surface revenue risks and opportunities, and present findings clearly to senior, non-technical audiences.
  • Build business cases and product-level revenue forecasts to support existing and new product growth initiatives.
  • Contribute to the migration of commercial planning from spreadsheets to scalable forecasting tools, and help reduce manual effort in month-end reporting workflows.
  • Provide day-to-day guidance to an intern and/or analyst, helping them develop their skills and navigate complex analytical tasks.

You'll be great for this role if…

  • Strong experience in FP&A, revenue planning, business analytics, or management consulting, with a track record of owning complex analytical workstreams independently.
  • Expert-level financial modelling skills, including multi-driver models and scenario analysis, with advanced proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets.
  • Proven ability to act as a trusted finance business partner to commercial or marketing stakeholders, comfortable influencing decisions and building relationships across functions.
  • Working knowledge of SQL for data extraction and manipulation from large datasets.
  • Clear and structured communicator, able to translate complex analysis into sharp, actionable insight for senior non-technical audiences.
  • Comfort working in fast-moving environments where priorities shift, and structure is still being built.
