Head of Commercial Finance

About SumUp

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 everything we do. That’s why we create 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.

The Team

Our Revenue Operations team sits at the heart of SumUp’s commercial engine — turning data, insights, and strategy into measurable business impact. From forecasting revenue to shaping go-to-market investments, this team ensures that every commercial decision is grounded in clarity and performance.

As the new Head of Commercial Finance, you’ll bridge Finance, Product, Marketing, and Sales, building a unified view of our global revenue streams. You’ll play a critical role in helping SumUp reach its ambitious growth targets by ensuring revenue plans are predictable, sustainable, and aligned across all lines of business. You’ll lead a talented team of four Revenue Planning Managers/Associates, each focused on different acquisition channels — sales, marketing, and retail planning.

Your work will directly influence how we allocate capital, set commercial targets, and optimise pricing and incentive structures — driving smarter, faster decisions across the organisation. You’ll be the analytical backbone of our commercial leadership, ensuring our teams act with confidence and precision.

What You’ll Do

• Own SumUp’s global revenue planning and forecasting strategy, translating commercial ambition into clear, data-driven financial outcomes across markets and product lines.
• Lead annual, quarterly, and rolling planning cycles, aligning targets, budgets, headcount, and go-to-market investments with long-term growth objectives.
• Build a unified revenue model across Sales, Marketing, Product, and Finance — connecting acquisition, retention, pricing, and monetisation into one coherent growth engine.
• Drive scenario-based forecasting and performance insights, identifying leading indicators, surfacing risks early, and enabling fast, confident executive decisions.
• Influence capital allocation and ROI decisions, ensuring investments across regions and channels maximise sustainable, profitable growth.
• Optimise commercial performance frameworks, including sales capacity planning, quota setting, and incentive and pricing structures.
• Lead and develop a high-performing Revenue Planning team, elevating analytical rigour and building a scalable planning function that grows with SumUp.

You’ll Be Great for This Role If

• You have deep expertise in revenue forecasting and financial modeling, ideally in a Fintech, SaaS, or Payments environment.
• You’re a strategic yet hands-on leader, comfortable influencing C-level stakeholders while diving into analytical detail.
• You have advanced data modelling skills and can turn complex data into compelling business narratives.
• You excel at cross-functional collaboration, building strong partnerships with Finance, Product, Sales, and Marketing.
• You lead with empathy, clear communication, and an ability to drive alignment in fast-moving, global settings.
