Requirements

Manager, CRM & Marketing Automation Are you passionate about making CRM smarter, more effective and more automated? Do you enjoy exploring what data, technology and AI can make possible, turning ideas into practical solutions and helping others get more out of the tools they use?

At Veikkaus, we're looking for an experienced CRM and marketing automation professional who is excited to take ownership of our automation development and help shape the future of how we engage with our customers.

With Optimove as our CRM platform, we're looking to take the next steps in automation, personalisation and AI. You don't need to have all the answers, but we value curiosity, initiative and a passion for making things work better.

You'll thrive in this role if you have

• Strong hands-on experience with CRM and marketing automation platforms, including segmentation, targeting, lifecycle journeys and optimisation.
• Ability to connect data and technical capabilities with customer and business needs.
• A strong point of view on CRM best practices, with the confidence and initiative to challenge existing ways of working and drive development forward.
• Curiosity about automation, personalisation and practical applications of AI.
• Excellent communication skills in Finnish or English. Fluency in Finnish is preferred, but fluent English is also accepted.
• Experience with Optimove, Adobe Campaign or similar platforms is a strong advantage.

Is this the right role for you? You'll likely enjoy this role if you love exploring new possibilities, taking ownership and turning ideas into practical improvements. You're curious, proactive and enjoy sharing knowledge with others.

This role might be less suitable for you if you prefer focusing on content or campaign execution, following established processes or working only on clearly defined tasks rather than driving development forward.

What we offer

• A workplace where the game evolves – and so do you. You’ll face meaningful challenges and gain new skills while contributing to shared success – in Finland and beyond.
• Inspiring and supportive teammates you can rely on. The best ideas and world‑class entertainment are built together – and Veikkaus thrives because of its people.
• Balanced and inspiring work life. A good job should add something to life — but not be all of it.
• Excellent employee benefits, including extensive occupational health services (dental care, physiotherapy, glasses support), ePassi sports & culture, and unique holiday locations in Saariselkä, Tahko and Vierumäki — plus much more.
• You can read more about our benefits on our careers site.
