Overview

Sales Development Representative - German speaker. Ready to launch your sales career in a fast-growing fintech company? Join our high-energy team in Milano and help us bring smarter payment solutions to small businesses across the UK and Europe.

At SumUp, we empower small merchants by making payments simple, accessible, and hassle-free. We support over 4 million businesses in 30+ countries and we’re just getting started. As a Sales Development Representative (SDR), you’ll be the first point of contact with future SumUp merchants, introducing them to a product that makes a difference. This role offers a launchpad to build real sales skills, work in a diverse international team, learn fast with mentorship, and grow a career in tech from day one.

What you’ll be up to

• Proactively reach out to businesses via targeted outbound calls to understand their needs and assess their fit for SumUp’s POS and payment solutions
• Qualify merchants by gathering key business information and offering insights into how our products can support their operations
• Schedule high-quality, localised appointments for our Field Sales team to conduct in-depth demos, negotiate terms, and close deals
• Focus on outreach to merchants who haven’t requested contact, using outbound tools, lead lists, and past opportunity data
• Play a key role in driving deal generation by ensuring Field Sales has a strong pipeline of well-matched, engaged prospects

What we’re looking for

• Strong communication skills and a friendly, confident phone presence
• Fluency in English and German
• Experience working directly with customers or clients in a fast-paced environment
• A track record in outbound outreach — you’re comfortable starting conversations from scratch
• Some hands-on cold calling experience (and the resilience that comes with it!)
• Previous sales experience — not a must, but definitely a plus
