The Run & Grow Tribe of Tribes powers the systems, insights, and experiences that keep millions of merchants engaged, successful, and growing with SumUp across every market we operate in. We're at a genuine inflection point in how we use data — moving from fragmented pipelines to a world-class data foundation built on stable business domains, trusted metrics, and AI-ready data products.

Model key business domains — including merchant activity, product adoption, lifecycle events, and risk scoring — building well-documented, quality-assured data products that serve as the trusted source of truth across the organisation

Build and maintain the insights layer on top of governed domains, producing reusable KPI models, funnels, cohorts, and segmentations that Product, Commercial, and AI teams can self-serve with confidence

Implement technical improvements including incremental processing strategies, performance optimisations, and scalable data architecture to support growing data volumes

Contribute to SumUp's broader data domain strategy, helping establish durable ownership, consistent definitions, and a shared catalogue of data products that unlock self-serve analytics and AI at scale
