THE TEAM
The Complaints team sits within Operations and works every day to make sure merchants who run their businesses on SumUp get fair, fast, and compliant resolutions whenever something goes wrong with a payment.

Joining now means learning the mechanics of payment processing from the ground up, working closely with Payment Operations, Risk, Engineering, and Finance, and helping shape how SumUp responds to some of its most sensitive merchant and regulatory moments.
