    Default job background
    Description

    At SumUp, we are motivated by the purpose of leveling the playing field for small businesses. We empower small business owners by creating simple and affordable tools to manage payments, finance and customer relationships.

    We are a passionate team that thrives on human connection, autonomy and the desire to constantly learn, guided by our values 'Founder's Mentality', 'Team First' and 'We Care'. We want to build an enduring organization that is people-positive, disciplined and that constantly innovates from within. Agility is the essence of an enduring organization and we strive to create an organization that fosters it.

    As we continue to invest into our Product Management capabilities for our growing and increasingly integrated product ecosystem to create even more value for small businesses, SumUp is seeking to hire a Chief of Staff, who will serve as a 'right hand' to our Chief Product Officer (CPO).

    This person will drive the implementation of best practices to improve operational efficiency, facilitate communication with internal stakeholders across different tribes and functions and across all levels of the organization, own a broad range of strategic initiatives and serve as a sounding board to the CPO.

    This role is an opportunity to create a lasting positive change and lift your career within a fast-growing and innovative company.
