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.

About the role

As Manager, CRM & Marketing Automation, you'll join our Customer & Loyalty team within the Lottery & Land-based Games business unit in a senior, hands-on role combining technical CRM expertise, analytical thinking and business understanding.

You'll own and shape the direction of our CRM automation development, bringing fresh perspectives and best practices, setting priorities and driving our roadmap forward. Your focus will be on data, targeting, automation logic and platform capabilities, working closely with colleagues across lifecycle marketing, analytics and technology.

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.

This permanent, full-time role is based at Veikkaus’ headquarters in Pohjois-Haaga, Helsinki. Our hybrid model includes three on-site days per week, with at least one on a Monday or Friday.

What you'll get to work on

• Translate business needs and opportunities into a clear CRM automation roadmap and drive its implementation.
• Build and optimise automated journeys, segmentation, targeting and testing using customer data and insights.
• Explore new opportunities in personalisation, AI and CRM platform capabilities.
• Develop scalable processes and ways of working that improve efficiency and CRM performance.
• Share your expertise and help the team make better use of our CRM capabilities.

What success looks like after 12 months

• We have a clear, actively progressing CRM automation roadmap aligned with business priorities.
• New automated journeys and CRM use cases are driving customer engagement, retention and sales.
• Our CRM platform is used more effectively, with less manual work and more opportunities for personalisation and optimisation.
• Testing, continuous improvement and knowledge sharing are part of our everyday work.

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.

If you get excited about making CRM work smarter and want to see your ideas turn into real improvements, we'd love to hear from you
