Role overview

SumUp is looking for an experienced, field-based new business hunter to drive net new revenue through the sale of payments and full POS solutions into UK SMBs, with a strong focus on hospitality.

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

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
