Trade Marketing Intelligence Analyst Intern

About the team

SumUp's Retail Click & Mortar team is responsible for a significant share of European acquisition, operating across 17 EU markets with a large field operation completing thousands of in‑store compliance audits every month. The Trade Marketing function sits at the heart of this — connecting field execution data to commercial decision‑making. We’ve recently centralised our data capture and analytics platforms, which means we now have access to a wealth of live retail data. The challenge — and the opportunity — is turning that data into clear, consistent insights that help us act faster and invest smarter. That’s exactly what this role is here to do. This is a great opportunity for someone who’s analytically curious, enjoys working with real business data, and wants to see the direct impact of their work on retail performance across Europe.

What you’ll do

• Monitor and validate data coming from store audits across 17 EU markets, ensuring accuracy and consistency in our reporting inputs.
• Manage regular trade marketing reports and dashboards, supporting monthly planning cycles with up‑to‑date, reliable data.
• Produce ad hoc analyses on request, helping the team understand what’s driving in‑store performance across key metrics like product rotation, display compliance, and cost effectiveness.
• Identify performance gaps and best practices across markets, channels, and store formats, and present findings in a clear, actionable way.
• Support the team in keeping operational processes aligned, flagging data risks or inconsistencies before they affect decision‑making.

You’ll be great for this role if…

• Experience working with data, whether through coursework, a placement, or a personal project, and a genuine interest in turning numbers into useful conclusions.
• Strong proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets; familiarity with Power BI or similar BI tools is a plus.
• Ability to manage multiple requests at once, prioritise effectively, and deliver clear outputs under time pressure.
• Comfort working with large, sometimes messy datasets and a methodical approach to spotting errors or inconsistencies.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to summarise complex data in a way that’s easy for non‑technical stakeholders to act on.
