About the Role
This role sits at the heart of SumUp's growth for its consumer product. As the Senior Marketing Manager, you will own the owned and earned channels that win customers directly, from the website and PR to partnerships, social, and brand across six European markets. It's a rare chance to build a direct acquisition engine from scratch inside a small, ambitious team, competing head-to-head with some of the best-funded neobanks in Europe.
Responsibilities
- Own and optimize direct-to-consumer channels including website, PR and comms, partnerships, social, events, and brand and out-of-home, across six markets.
- Build the website into a high-converting acquisition surface, owning messaging, offers, content, localization, and advertising across all markets.
- Lead PR, comms, and partnerships that build the consumer brand.
- Establish the retail and merchant-sales-channel motion for the consumer product.
- Manage and improve the direct cost-per-customer target and report on direct-acquisition performance.
- Collaborate with the central brand team, external agencies, and peer marketing managers to ensure clean channel boundaries and tight handoffs.
Requirements
- Strong B2C consumer-acquisition or brand-marketing experience, ideally in fintech, a neobank, retail, or a direct-to-consumer business.
- Hands-on experience across owned and earned channels: website and conversion, PR and comms, partnerships, social, and events.
- Comfortable owning acquisition metrics, attribution, and cost-per-customer across a channel set.
- Experience planning and executing multi-market campaigns with localization across multiple languages.
- Ability to operate independently, influence across matrixed teams and agencies, and build from scratch in an early-stage environment.
