Role overview
SumUp is looking for an experienced, field-based new business hunter to drive net new revenue through the sale of payments and full POS solutions into UK SMBs, with a strong focus on hospitality.
This role suits someone who can confidently prospect, uncover customer needs, deliver high-quality demos, and build a clear value case, all within a short sales cycle.
You’ll own your territory end-to-end, including self-generation, pipeline management, pricing, and closing. This is a role for someone with a strong sense of ownership and an entrepreneurial mindset.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Generate new business through proactive field prospecting, cold outreach, and local networking
- Sell payments and POS solutions to SMB merchants, particularly in hospitality
- Target established businesses (typically £25k+ monthly TPV)
- Run structured discovery to understand how a business operates and identify opportunities
- Deliver tailored product demonstrations across POS and payments
- Lead pricing discussions and close using a consultative, value-led approach
- Manage your pipeline, forecasting, and activity in line with SumUp standards
- Build and leverage referrals from your merchant base and local network
- Minimum 2 years proven B2B new business field sales experience
- Most recent roles must be primarily new business
- Proven experience selling into SMB customers (territory-based selling)
- Experience in merchant services/payments and/or POS is strongly preferred
- Other relevant technical or hospitality-adjacent field sales will be considered
- A genuine self-starter
- Full UK driving licence
- A “hunter” mindset: enjoys field intensity, door-to-door prospecting, and building business in the territory
- Strong commercial judgement and value / pricing ownership
- High activity with discipline: creates volume while keeping quality
- Can adapt: able to move a merchant from simple devices toward more complete POS/payments solutions
