The Group Reporting and Controlling team is the backbone of SumUp's financial integrity, and as the business scales, its role in strengthening governance and reporting standards is becoming more critical than ever. This position gives an experienced controller real ownership over a portfolio of legal entities, direct influence on how SumUp standardises controls and reporting across regions, and a front row seat to the audit and governance work that comes with holding ourselves to the highest financial standards. It's a chance to shape how a fast growing fintech gets its financial house in order, working closely with the Head of Controlling and coordinating directly with external auditors at PwC.
