Customer Support Agent with Finnish and English
About this role
About the team:
Our Small Markets Customer Support team is the direct connection between SumUp and the merchants who rely on us every day. We work across multiple channels — phone, chat, and email — to make sure our merchants get fast, friendly, and effective support in their own language.
This role exists because we're growing. With a Finnish-speaking agent recently promoted within the team, we need someone to step in, make the role their own, and help us keep our Finnish merchant community well supported. It's a great entry point into fintech customer support, with real ownership from day one and a clear path to grow.
Responsibilities
- Support Finnish and English-speaking merchants across phone, chat, and email, helping them resolve technical and account-related issues quickly and clearly
- Listen carefully to merchant concerns, investigate the root cause, and find the right solution — not just the quickest one
- Spot patterns in recurring issues and contribute ideas to improve processes and reduce merchant friction
- Work closely with other teams across SumUp to make sure merchants get the right outcome, even when the answer sits outside your team
- Be an active, collaborative member of an international, multilingual support team
- You'll be great for this role if…
- Fluency in both Finnish and English, written and spoken, to a professional standard
- Experience supporting customers in a service or operations environment, whether in person or digitally
- A natural troubleshooting mindset — comfortable digging into a problem rather than passing it on
- Strong attention to detail, especially when handling sensitive merchant information or account queries
- Resilience and composure when navigating difficult or demanding conversations
- Why you should join SumUp
- 🌎 Opportunity to work with SumUppers globally on fintech products used by millions of businesses worldwide, from our Berlin office at Ostbahnhof
- 🌈 Be part of an inclusive and collaborative environment where different perspectives are valued
- 🏖️ 28 days of paid leave plus public holidays and special leave days, pro-rated
- 🚵🏾♂️ Access health and well-being support through our Employee Assistance Programme, an Urban Sports Club subsidy, and fitness activities, including on-site gym access, yoga sessions, and team sports
- 🚆 Benefit from subsidised public transport with the Deutschlandticket, offering unlimited travel on local and regional transport across Germany
- 🥗 Enjoy partially subsidised office lunches and weekly breakfast
- 🔗 Receive additional rewards through our employee referral programme when referring talents to join our team
