TeleSales team lead – DACH

📍 Berlin – On-site

About the team

Our DACH TeleSales team is at the heart of SumUp's growth — connecting small business owners across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland with the tools that help them thrive. As Team Lead, you won't just be managing from a distance; you'll be working side by side with your team, coaching calls, supporting deals, and setting the standard for what great sales looks like in this market. This is a role for someone who leads by doing — someone who brings energy, accountability, and genuine care for the people they work with.

🎥 Take a look inside our Berlin office and see where you'll be based.

What you'll do

• Lead and coach a team of Inbound Sales Representatives — running regular 1:1s, call shadowing sessions, and performance check-ins to help your team hit and exceed their targets
• Stay close to the work — stepping in to support live calls, helping the team close deals, and modelling the behaviours you want to see
• Track team performance data and turn it into clear, actionable insights that improve results week on week
• Build a team culture where feedback is normal, learning is encouraged, and wins are celebrated
• Work closely with other sales leaders to refine processes, share what's working, and contribute to the wider DACH sales strategy

You'll be great for this role if…

• Experience leading a sales team for three or more years, with a track record of developing people and hitting targets.
• Proven ability to stay close to the work — comfortable jumping on calls, supporting deals directly, and leading by example.
• Fluency in German (C1 or above) and strong business-level English.
• Strong coaching instincts — able to give honest, constructive feedback while keeping team morale high.
• Comfort working with performance data to identify patterns, spot opportunities, and adjust quickly.
