About the team

SumUp's outbound sales engine is growing fast, and the French market is one of our biggest opportunities. Based in our Barcelona office, our SDR team is the frontline of that growth — generating pipeline, opening doors, and building the outbound motion that fuels Field Sales across France and beyond. This role sits at the heart of that expansion: you'll lead a growing team of French‑speaking SDRs, shape how we sell into the French SMB market, and help write the playbook that scales to new markets over time. If you're energised by building something from the ground up and want real ownership over a team and a market, this is the role for you.

• Comfort building outbound processes in a new or ambiguous environment, with the ability to operate autonomously and make decisions without constant oversight.

• Familiarity with SMB sales, ideally in fintech, payments, or a similarly competitive market.
