SumUp Next is more than an internship programme, it's the entry point to building a career in a global fintech.
Created as a genuine starting point within the SumUp ecosystem, the programme is designed for high potential students who want to learn by doing, take on responsibility early, and create real impact on the business.
As an FP&A Strategy Intern, you'll join Corporate FP&A, SumUp's internal strategy and finance partner to business leaders, the team that turns data into the decisions that move the business. From day one, you'll support real analyses that feed into capital allocation, reporting strategy, and investor relations, learning how financial and strategic decisions come together at SumUp.
We believe growth happens through practice, with autonomy, support, and room to experiment. Our goal is for every intern to finish the programme ready for what's next, with the skills, mindset, and experience to continue their journey as a SumUpper.
If you want to build your career in finance and strategy in a global, dynamic environment, SumUp Next was made for you.
