  • 3 days in the field: Meeting merchants and developing business across Manchester
  • 1 day from home: Prospecting, managing your pipeline and following up with customers
  • 1 day in London: Working alongside our sales team, with travel expenses covered

Initial onboarding will take place in London for approximately 1–2 weeks, with expenses covered by SumUp.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
