Duration : 6 months

Location: Berlin

Candidate Category : Students/Graduates

Language Requirement: Fluent German

As a POS Sales Associate for the DACH region, you’ll become part of SumUp's first internal startup: the Point of Sale team. We’re growing an entirely separate software-as-a-service (SaaS) business around a Point of Sale Register product for our European markets. You’ll join an interdisciplinary team solving problems around the topics of lead generation, sales, operations, logistics, customer experience and marketing – with the aim of making this enterprise thrive.

What you’ll do

  • Get in touch with inbound leads in the DACH region and identify prospects’ Point of Sale needs via phone
  • Set appointments and qualify leads, while helping in managing our Salesforce pipeline
  • Become an ambassador for SumUp and build strong relationships with our customers by being their friendly, caring and proactive first point of contact
  • Search for opportunities to improve our customer experience and drive initiatives to optimise the sales process

You’ll be great for this position if

  • You’re fluent in German, both spoken and written – conversational English is also necessary for the job.
  • You’re empathetic and can develop nourishing relationships with customers and team members.
  • You’re an active listener and you intuitively identify your customer’s needs. 
  • You’re tech-savvy and eager to learn about our dynamic industry.
  • You’re excited to play a key role in achieving team goals.

Why you should join SumUp

  • We’re a truly global team of 2000+ people from 60+ countries, spread across 3 continents.
  • We get together regularly for breakfasts, team events, office parties and sports (as much as the current situation permits - if we can’t see each other in person, why try to create some virtual quality time)
  • We offer a corporate pension scheme, 28 days paid leave, free German and yoga classes, subsidised Urban Sports Club membership and other great benefits.
  • You’ll be based in the heart of Berlin, one of Europe’s leading tech hubs and most vibrant cities.
