Customer Support Agent with Finnish and English

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.

What you'll do:

• 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
