CSM – ACTIVATION SPECIALIST | CUSTOMER SUCCESS | EL PASO Location: El Paso, USA | Office First  Employment type: Full-time  ABOUT THE TEAM Our Customer Success team is the engine behind long-term merchant growth — ensuring that every business that chooses SumUp doesn't just get started, but truly thrives. This is a brand-new role, created to close a real gap: right now, merchants move through sales, underwriting, and onboarding without a single dedicated owner guiding them through. You'll change that.
