Team description

Our Paris sales team helps small and growing merchants across France get set up with SumUp's payment tools, often as their very first introduction to the brand. We're a close-knit, target-driven group that thrives on outbound conversations, quick thinking and celebrating wins together.

• 🤝 Get to know each business's needs and show how SumUp can genuinely help them

• 🎤 Run product pitches and demos that turn curiosity into commitment

• 🔥 Manage the full sales cycle, from first contact through to closing the deal

• 📊 Track performance against targets and use feedback and data to keep improving

• 🧠 Share ideas with the team and help build an energised, collaborative office culture

What we're looking for…

• Experience in outbound sales or business development, with a genuine drive to learn and grow quickly.

• Comfort working with high volumes of phone-based outreach.

• Curiosity and confidence when speaking with new people and solving their problems.

• A results-driven mindset with a track record of working towards targets.

• Fluency in French and English, given daily contact with local merchants and a global team.

Why you should join SumUp

• 🌎 Opportunity to work with a truly global, multicultural team from our Paris location. This involves an office-first setup

• 🌈 Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion: be part of a workplace that values and promotes diversity, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone's perspectives are respected and embraced

• 📚 A dedicated annual L&D budget of €2000 for your individual development, which can be used to attend conferences and/or advance your career through further education

• 💼 Financial security: corporate pension contributions that support your long-term future

• 🏥 Healthcare support: we cover 50% of the monthly cost of your health insurance for your Mutuelle and Prévoyance

• 🚌 Extra allowances: we offer restaurant tickets (Swile) and cover transportation costs
