Project Manager
At Veikkaus, we create gaming entertainment and experiences responsibly. Digital channels are the engine of Veikkaus's competitiveness and growth. We provide digital services across multiple channels in the lottery monopoly market, and in sports betting and online casino we aim to be the leader in digital customer experience and service in international markets. Our Gaming and Enterprise Technology unit builds digital gaming platforms for Finland and our international clients.
For this dynamic digital services environment, we are looking for an experienced Project Manager whose passion is driving things to completion and helping our teams and the entire organization to succeed.
Your role - lead projects and make an impact across the organization

- You plan and manage project scope, schedules, resources and risks throughout the project lifecycle.
- You handle all required administrative tasks efficiently and on schedule.

- You collaborate closely with other project managers and business units by sharing best practices.
- You monitor project progress in a data- and metrics-driven way and report regularly to management.

What we expect
We are looking for an experienced project management professional with a firm grasp of the big picture and the ability to inspire people towards shared goals.
- You have at least 3 years of work experience leading development projects for digital distribution channels, including web and desktop channels as well as native mobile application projects.
- You have at least two years of work experience working on software development projects using agile methodologies, and a track record of flexible project steering.
- You have experience working at the interface between business and technical delivery teams, as well as in requirements definition and testing.
- You have strong professional confidence, yet you are humble and curious - you know how to lead without direct authority.
- You can collaborate even in challenging situations - you lead with courage and respect others' views, remain calm under pressure and steer negotiations towards solutions.
- Data- and metrics-driven: you are proficient in project management tools (e.g. Jira) and leverage data in decision-making, risk management and improving transparency.
- Continuous learning: you stay up to date with developments in your field and apply new learnings in practice.

- Build the future: you will lead projects that shape the digital gaming industry in Finland and internationally.
- Meaningful challenges: you will drive projects that develop our operations in a concrete way.
- A broad playing field: data, AI, digital channels, back-end systems, enterprise systems, point-of-sale - we develop the full spectrum of technologies.
- Learn and collaborate across boundaries: you will work with agile teams, product owners and key stakeholders.
What we offer at Veikkaus:
- 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. We value curiosity and create the space for it to thrive.
