Paris (Office-first)

Team description

SumUp already powers over 4 million businesses worldwide. We're now aiming for bigger names, and we're building the team to do it. In France, our Key Account Sales team goes after larger businesses, from hospitality groups to beauty chains and major retailers. You'll choose how you prospect, by phone or in the field, get into their networks and close the deals. As one of the first people on this new team, you'll help work out what it takes to win these accounts, with plenty of opportunities opening up as we grow. The best part? Your variable pay is uncapped, so there's no ceiling on what you can earn.

Run high-volume outreach by phone, in the field and through other channels

Get in front of decision-makers and understand how their business and sites operate

What we're looking for…

• Proven experience in outbound sales, with a track record of hitting targets
• Comfort with high volumes of outreach, by phone or in the field
