Location: Barcelona, Spain (office-first, with regular time in the field across Spain and Portugal) Contract: 1 year fixed term with a view to going permanent

Barcelona office tour

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.

What you'll do

• Build and lead a founding team of regional managers across Spain and Portugal, setting the standard for how the channel operates

• Drive sales execution and revenue growth in line with the regional business plan, while protecting profit margins

• Design career trajectories and performance management for a channel built largely on self-employed consultants

• Partner with regional managers and territory managers through joint field visits, coaching and regular team touchpoints

• Track and act on key sales metrics, including quota attainment, sales cycle length and customer retention, feeding insights back to wider stakeholders

You'll be great for this role if…

• Experience leading field sales managers, ideally within merchant services or a comparable in-market sales environment.

• Strong track record of building and scaling sales teams from an early or incubation stage.

• Comfort working with self-employed consultant models and the unique motivation and retention challenges they bring.

• Ability to translate a business plan into clear performance targets and day-to-day sales execution.

• Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to coach, challenge and align a distributed field team.
