Role overview

Sum Up 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.

• 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 Sum Up 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
