The Team

Our Field Sales organisation is a key driver of SumUp’s growth in France. Operating on the ground, close to merchants, the team brings our ecosystem of payment and business tools directly to small business owners across the country.

As Regional Manager – Field Sales France, you will play a pivotal leadership role. You will directly manage a team of 3–5 Territory Managers, each responsible for leading and scaling their own teams of Field Sales Consultants (both employed and self-employed).

You’ll act as the regional owner of performance, culture, and execution, building a high-performance sales engine that delivers sustainable revenue growth while developing future leaders within SumUp.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of 3–5 Territory Managers, enabling them to recruit, onboard, and ramp high-performing Field Sales Consultants across their territories.


• Build and embed a strong field sales culture focused on accountability, coaching, and consistent execution of SumUp’s Sales DNA.


• Drive regional sales strategy, including acquisition focus, pricing execution, upsell and cross-sell initiatives, and competitive positioning.

• Standardise and optimise field sales processes, toolkits, and reporting to maximise productivity and efficiency.


• Monitor commissions, incentives, and performance metrics, ensuring transparency and alignment with business objectives.


• Act as a strategic partner to the Head of Sales France and collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders including Inside Sales, Sales Enablement, and European Sales Leadership.

• You bring strong experience in Merchant Services, POS, Payments, Fintech, or a comparable environment.
