Deadline 28/3/2026
Description
🚀 Ready to launch your sales career in one of the world’s fastest-growing fintech companies?
Join our high-energy team in Barcelona and help us bring smarter payment solutions to small businesses across the UK and Europe.
At SumUp, we’re on a mission to empower small merchants by making payments simple, accessible, and hassle-free. Today, we support over 4 million businesses in 30+ countries — and we’re just getting started. As a Sales Development Representative (SDR), you’ll be the first point of contact with future SumUp merchants, introducing them to a product that actually makes a difference.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow in your sales career, this role offers the perfect launchpad:
📞 Build real sales skills
🌍 Work in a diverse, international team
🧠 Learn fast with expert mentorship
🚀 Grow your career in tech from day one
What profile are we looking for?
- Fluency in English and German
- Experience working directly with customers or clients in a fast-paced environment
- A track record in outbound outreach — you’re comfortable starting conversations from scratch
- Some hands-on cold calling experience (and the resilience that comes with it!)
- Previous sales experience — not a must, but definitely a plus
