This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2432 (88% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £50,100, and SUNDAY APP LIMITED is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3557 (Events managers and organisers, Owns UK events and trade show strategy end-to-end), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask SUNDAY APP LIMITED what the duties actually are.
About the role
👋 About Us
sunday is building the fastest, simplest way to pay in restaurants. With a quick scan of a QR code, diners can pay, tip, and leave in about 10 seconds. We believe great products should feel obvious, not complicated, and we focus relentlessly on keeping things simple while earning trust from restaurants and guests at every interaction. Today, sunday powers payments in thousands of restaurants across the US, UK, and France, helping operators turn tables faster, increase tips, and unlock valuable insights. We push ourselves to go beyond what’s expected, building with ownership, moving fast, and scaling with ambition as we tackle our biggest growth opportunity in the US.
About the Role
We are looking for a Marketing & Communications Manager to own sunday’s marketing presence in the UK.
As the key point of contact for marketing in the UK, you will be responsible for making sure that sunday’s global positioning, campaigns and product stories are relevant, compelling and effective for the local restaurant market.
This is a broad, highly visible and hands-on role. You will develop and execute the UK marketing and communications plan, working closely with Sales, Product and Growth to increase brand awareness, support commercial performance and accelerate the adoption of sunday’s products across the restaurant sector.
You will own local marketing initiatives including events, trade shows, referral programmes, press relations, brand campaigns, local social media, sales enablement and local product launches.
You will not own digital acquisition or the global Growth plan. Instead, you will work closely with the Growth team to adapt global campaigns and priorities for the UK market, ensuring that local insights, customer needs and market dynamics are reflected in execution.
Join early, grow fast, and shape the journey!
