Freelance Field Sales Team Lead – Switzerland

We're hiring: Freelance Field Sales Team Lead – Switzerland

🌍 Location: Geneva, Switzerland

SumUp is expanding in Switzerland with a fully referral-based field model. As a Freelance Field Sales Team Lead, you will introduce and showcase SumUp products to Swiss small businesses and refer interested merchants to our TeleSales team, who will manage all pricing discussions, negotiations, and contract signings.

This role is freelance, non-exclusive, and focused solely on marketing and referring — not selling.

We believe in the everyday hero — those who have the courage to follow their passion and the determination to realise their dreams.

Small business owners are at the heart of all we do, so we're creating powerful, easy-to-use financial solutions to help them run their businesses. With a founder’s mentality and a team-first attitude, our diverse teams across Europe, South America, and the United States work together to ensure that small business owners can be successful doing what they love.

💼 What You’ll Do

• Present and promote SumUp’s payment solutions to local merchants
• Generate high-quality referrals and schedule demos with our TeleSales team
• Build the market: Recruit, onboard & coach independent referral agents
• Train agents to market & advertise SumUp (no contract signing, no pricing, no hardware sales)
• Drive results: Motivate agents, track referrals & ensure quality lead flow
• Audit & support agents to ensure compliance with Swiss requirements
• Act as the local link between the Swiss field and our London TeleSales team

✨ What You Bring

• Proven experience leading or coaching field sales teams or independent agents
• Strong understanding of SME environments
• Entrepreneurial mindset + ability to operate autonomously
• Fluency in German and/or French + English
• Bonus: Background in payments, fintech, SaaS, telecom, or merchant acquisition

🎁 What You Get

• Competitive freelance compensation
• SumUp external email & access to field workflows
• A chance to build SumUp’s Swiss market from the ground up

At SumUp, we’re proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. We value diverse perspectives and experiences — if you’re motivated, capable, and excited about our mission, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every single requirement.

Let’s grow together!
