About the team
Our Retail Click & Mortar team is on a mission to expand SumUp's presence from a trusted B2B brand into a full consumer financial services category across European retail. This is a net-new role sitting at the heart of that ambition โ helping build the research, data, and insight infrastructure that will power our go-to-market strategy for consumers. If you're energised by building something from scratch and want real ownership from day one, this is the opportunity to grow into a key player in one of SumUp's most exciting strategic bets.
What you'll do
- Build and maintain a structured market data tracker covering consumer retail distribution across key European markets, turning it into a foundational input for strategic planning
- Coordinate end-to-end tracking across consumer MVP pilots โ flagging risks, tracking milestones, and synthesising learnings into clear updates for the team
- Produce insight decks and briefing documents that sharpen commercial decisions and accelerate planning cycles
- Support retailer meetings and pitch preparation, contributing to follow-up coordination and relationship management
- Work with the finance team to model and analyse the net revenue contribution and payback of consumer pilots, translating numbers into clear recommendations
You'll be great for this role ifโฆ
- Strong analytical skills with comfort in Excel or Google Sheets, structuring data and turning it into clear, decision-ready outputs.
- Experience in finance, marketing, commercial analysis, strategy support, or a related field โ even if early in your career.
- Ability to coordinate multiple workstreams simultaneously and keep delivery on track without losing sight of the detail.
- Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce concise, well-structured briefing documents and summaries.
- Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where the playbook is still being written.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iโm in my final year doing Economics and I donโt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer โ it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donโt need a masters. Letโs look at the ones youโd be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet โ that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
