Sum Up's Sales team in Germany is on a roll — and we need a Key Account Executive in Berlin who's built different.

This role is for someone who thrives in the hunt: picking up the phone, opening doors, and creating pipeline out of nothing.

Once you've won the merchant, you'll own the relationship too — growing the account and making sure they're getting the most out of Sum Up.

The AM side?

You'll pick it up.
