Berlin, Germany

The Central Marketing Creative Team sits at the heart of how SumUp shows up in the world, shaping the visual identity of a brand trusted by over 4 million small businesses across 37 markets. Within the team, the Brand pillar owns everything from campaign creative and social content to event design and brand governance, ensuring SumUp looks and feels consistent wherever it appears. We're a collaborative, craft-focused group that moves fast, holds high standards, and genuinely cares about the quality of what we put out, and this role sits right at the centre of that.

This is an opportunity to join a high-output creative team at a pivotal moment, as we scale our brand presence and increase the volume and ambition of our marketing campaigns. You'll report directly to the Head of Brand and Marketing Design and work day-to-day alongside designers, campaign managers, content strategists, and channel specialists.
