Field Sales Associate

About Us

Great salespeople don't wait for opportunities - they create them. We're looking for commission-driven, target-focused professionals who are ready to make their mark.

Small business owners are at the heart of everything we do. Ireland's small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and they deserve a payments & financial management platform that is built for them. That's exactly what SumUp delivers, and we're growing our field sales team to bring it to businesses in every corner of the country.

 

Role Description

We're looking for a driven and commercially sharp Field Sales Associate to join our growing Cork team. In this role, you'll be out in the field every day, building genuine relationships with local business owners and showing them how SumUp's suite of payment and financial management tools can transform the way they run their businesses.

Ireland's small business community is thriving, but it is also evolving fast. Consumers expect seamless & flexible payment options. Business owners need more than just a card reader - they need an integrated solution that helps them manage transactions, track their finances, and make smarter decisions in real time. SumUp gives them exactly that, and your job is to make sure they know it.

From day one, you'll hit the ground running - identifying opportunities, building your pipeline, and closing deals. You'll have a full product toolkit at your disposal and the support of a fast-moving team behind you, but the drive to generate results from the get-go needs to come from you. 

If you're energised by targets, thrive in a face-to-face sales environment, and want to play a meaningful role in empowering Irish businesses with the financial tools they truly deserve, we want to hear from you.

 

What You'll Do:

• Prospect and engage SMBs through cold calling, door-to-door visits, and local networking.
• Generate and qualify leads, booking meetings and converting opportunities in the field.
• Deliver face-to-face sales pitches and product demos to business owners.
• Build a strong self-sourced pipeline using cold outreach, referrals, and market knowledge.
• Handle objections confidently and tailor solutions to each merchant’s needs.
• Develop long-term relationships to drive repeat business and referrals.

You'll Be a Great Fit If You...

• Have 2+ years experience in b2b Field Sales or a similar outbound role - ideally within hospitality, retail, or another point-of-sale environment.
• Can hit the ground running from day one: generating your own opportunities, managing a pipeline, and closing deals without needing a long ramp-up period.
• Consistently exceed sales targets and take full ownership of your results.
• Know the Irish market - you understand how local businesses operate, what challenges they face, and how to build trust quickly within your community.
• Have hands-on experience with outbound lead generation, cold calling, and building a pipeline from scratch.
• Can speak passionately and knowledgeably about the role payments technology plays in helping Irish businesses grow and compete.
• Are self-motivated, resilient, and energised by working independently in the field.

Why Join SumUp?

• Competitive compensation package, including base salary, mobility/incidentals allowances, and uncapped commission - your earnings grow directly with your results.
• Private Health Insurance with Vitality (including optical and dental) and Life Assurance cover with MetLife (2x salary).
• SumUp Corporate Pension Scheme.
• Individual development budget for conferences and external training.
• Access to the SumUp Sabbatical, Employee Referral Programme, and Employee Assistance Programme for mental health.
