Talent Acquisition Lead | London
About The Team
SumUp's Field Sales hiring engine delivers close to 2,000 hires per year across 12+ European markets—and that number is growing. The Talent Acquisition (TA) team sits at the centre of SumUp’s commercial expansion, translating business growth ambitions into hiring execution across some of our most strategically important markets.
We're ready to move from reactive delivery to a structured, scalable hiring engine, and this role is how we get there.
You’ll report directly to the Global Head of TA, with a dotted line to the CCO and VP of Sales based in London, reflecting how critical this work is to SumUp’s commercial success.
What Success Looks Like
This role will have made an impact when you:
- Turned Field Sales hiring into a reliable, measurable engine—visible, trusted, and predictable across every market
- Built a team that doesn’t depend on you—a high-autonomy, high-accountability TA function, where recruiters know what good looks like
- Made TA a real commercial partner—working alongside Sales and Commercial leadership to shape hiring plans
- Created clarity from complexity—across tools, workflows, and standards, so that recruiters in different markets are working from the same playbook and producing comparable results
Who You’ll Thrive As
You’ll thrive here if you’re:
- Experienced in building and leading high-volume / sales / GTM TA across multiple markets, with a strong instinct for what a healthy funnel looks and feels like
- A systems thinker who goes upstream and fixes root causes rather than managing symptoms
- Pragmatic and action-oriented—you make progress without waiting for perfect conditions
- A people leader who measures success by how well the team runs without you
- Comfortable with ambiguity, low in ego, and more focused on outcomes than credit
- An open, direct communicator who can engage effectively across the business, from your team to senior leadership
- Naturally collaborative, with a track record of building strong cross-functional relationships through the quality of your work and thinking
