Location: London Contract: Full time, permanent

Team description

Central Brand & Marketing builds the campaigns, trackers and insight that show whether SumUp's marketing actually works, across six markets and two very different audiences: consumer and business owners. This role sits at the centre of that picture, turning tracker data into targets, forecasts and recommendations that media, creative and the wider business act on, and taking the lead on a new competitive insights hub that will become the company's source of truth on competition and market performance. It's a chance to shape how SumUp reads its market from the ground up, working closely with the Media & Strategic Partnership, Creative, Growth, Sales and Operations teams along the way.

Nice to have: experience managing brands in FMCG or another brand driven industry, and hands-on use of Tableau, Google Analytics or similar tools.

You're likely to thrive here if you're curious, strategic, a good listener and communicator, determined, productive, deadline driven and independent.
