With major launches ahead, including Tap to Pay, new hardware and SumUp’s first consumer proposition in retail, this role is the one place where messaging, production and sign off come together before anything goes live. It’s a rare mix of strategy and craft: setting the retail narrative, then writing, briefing and quality checking the content that makes each launch land with the right audience, on time and on brand.
