Head of regional field sales in fintech

Spain and Portugal are still early in their field sales journey, and this role exists to take them out of incubation and into a strong, self-sustaining growth phase. You'll build and lead the regional management structure from the ground up, shaping how up to six regional managers, their territory managers and self-employed consultants sell SumUp's products to small businesses on the ground. It's a rare chance to design a sales organisation almost from scratch, with a direct line to shaping how SumUp wins two of its most important growth markets in Europe.
