Team description

SumUp's Executive Recruiting team finds the critical leaders who help build a global company that is trusted by more than 4 million businesses. Because the best senior talent rarely applies through a job board, every search depends on solid market research, curiosity, and a bit of detective work.

You'll learn this craft hands-on, working closely with our Executive Recruiter to track down candidates for some of SumUp's most important hires, often before they're even looking for a new role. It's a structured, supported way into Executive Recruiting and broader Talent Acquisition, built for someone who's curious about what makes a person the right fit for SumUp and a great leader.

What you'll do

  • Research and map candidates for senior and strategic leadership roles using LinkedIn, our internal database and other sources.
  • Shadow the Executive Recruiter on live searches to see firsthand what makes a strong leadership candidate.
  • Keep candidate records accurate and up to date.
  • Share clear, structured updates on search progress during weekly check-ins with hiring teams.
  • Help test new sourcing channels and ideas alongside the Executive Recruiting team.

You'll be great for this role if…

  • Genuine curiosity about people and what makes someone the right fit for a role, shown through previous jobs, research projects, coursework, volunteer work, or self-directed learning.
  • Persistence and attention to detail, with a track record of keeping structured, accurate records.
  • Ability to manage deadlines and multiple tasks in a professional or academic setting.
  • Openness to feedback and comfort picking up new tools and ways of working quickly.

Any prior exposure to sourcing or CRM tools is a bonus, not a requirement. Full training will be provided.

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.
