Chief of Staff to the Chief Product OfficerLondon, United Kingdom · Product & Design

Location: London (On-site)

At SumUp, we are motivated by the purpose of leveling the playing field for small businesses. We empower small business owners by creating simple and affordable tools to manage payments, finance and customer relationships. 

We are a passionate team that thrives on human connection, autonomy and the desire to constantly learn, guided by our values ‘Founder’s Mentality’, ‘Team First’ and ‘We Care’. We want to build an enduring organization that is people-positive, disciplined and that constantly innovates from within. Agility is the essence of an enduring organization and we strive to create an organization that fosters it.

As we continue to invest into our Product Management capabilities for our growing and increasingly integrated product ecosystem to create even more value for small businesses, SumUp is seeking to hire a Chief of Staff, who will serve as a ‘right hand’ to our Chief Product Officer (CPO). The purpose of the role is to “multiply” the CPO function by increasing its reach and effectiveness and help elevate SumUp’s global Product Management chapter. 

This person will drive the implementation of best practices to improve operational efficiency, facilitate communication with internal stakeholders across different tribes and functions and across all levels of the organization, own a broad range of strategic initiatives and serve as a sounding board to the CPO.

This role is an opportunity to create a lasting positive change and lift your career within a fast-growing and innovative company. You will be encouraged to come up with creative solutions and will enjoy a vibrant and dynamic working environment. Your passion will not only inspire our product organization but will have a positive impact on small merchants globally.

What you’ll do

Work closely with the CPO, Product VPs and PM Leads, coordinate our product planning cycles, to increase cross-tribe alignment and visibility across SumUp’s product tribes 

Drive the planning and adoption of PM chapter initiatives – progression frameworks, PM Bootcamp, Buddy schemes as well as other Learning and Development initiatives

Coordinate closely with the Global Engineering Core, the CTO Office, Design chapter and Product Marketing chapter to improve collaboration between different functional chapters. 

Plan, lead and execute specific product development projects in key areas where additional PM leadership is required

Collaborate with the CPO and the Strategy and Corporate Development Office to assess M&A opportunities and coordinate due diligence from a product perspective

Work with the CPO and members of SumUp’s global Product community to pull together a clear understanding of product success metrics, and how these are tracked and used in product decision making 

Be a sounding board to the CPO and assist in preparation for meetings, public presentations, and difficult decisions through providing sound research. You will replace the CPO in meetings, public presentations and various forums during their absence, and will coordinate specific forums where needed

Spend time on team culture, external networking and other topics that enhance SumUp’s employer brand

You’ll be great for this role if

You have an excellent Product Sense and a solid track record in Product Planning and Product Development in software companies where industry best practices are adopted

You have proven Project Management skills

You have the ability to research product-related topics, formulate a position and create compelling narratives 

You have experience collaborating closely with engineering and design organizations and the ability to create and implement joint processes

You have exceptional communication (especially written) and stakeholder management skills

You have a proactive ‘can do’ attitude and are disciplined and self-governed in the way you work

Ideally, you worked in FinTech or a similarly regulated industry before and/or have experience navigating a global and scaled, highly dynamic and agile, multi-product Tech company

Why you should join SumUp

We’re a global and growing team of 3000+ people from 92+ nationalities, with offices across 4 continents.

You can truly create your own path here, make an impact, and help us shape the future for small businesses globally

We offer a competitive compensation package and paid leave and you will have access to the SumUp Sabbatical, our Employee assistance programme for mental health as well as Fitness and language learning offers

We get together regularly for breakfasts, team events, office parties, and sports

You’ll receive a budget for your professional and personal development, attending conferences and external training

We offer visa and relocation support for you, your family, and even your pets
