Sales Development Representative - German Market

 Ready to launch your sales career in one of the world’s fastest-growing fintech companies?

Join our high-energy team in Barcelona and help us bring smarter payment solutions to small businesses across the UK and Europe.

At SumUp, we’re on a mission to empower small merchants by making payments simple, accessible, and hassle-free. Today, 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 actually makes a difference.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow in your sales career, this role offers the perfect launchpad:

Build real sales skills

Work in a diverse, international team

Learn fast with expert mentorship

Grow your 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

We’d love to meet you if you have:

• 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
