The Commercial Planning team sits at the heart of SumUp's commercial engine, turning complex data into the financial insight that shapes how we grow. We partner closely with channel leads, marketing, and product teams to make sure our planning is accurate, proactive, and genuinely useful to the people making decisions. We need someone who can own the analytical workstreams for our Acquisitions channels while building the kind of trusted relationships that make finance business partnering actually work. If you're energised by owning complex models, influencing commercial decisions, and being the person stakeholders turn to when they need clarity, this is the role for you.
